I saw something where a guy was adding ash from his wood stove to his soil. Can I use the ash from the joints I smoke, it's just weed an paper
Can I dump my ashtray into my container that my plant is growing in?

I do it all the time. Have not seen any problem yet.
The paper seems to decompose in a week or so if it gets covered with some of the soil. The ashes disappear after the first time they are watered.

I don't think it would hurt your plants, but also I don't think there is anything good in it either. Potash is what people use for gardens, and that is made from burning HARD woods, not soft weedy plants like our ladies.
The primary benefits of recycling wood ash into the soil are for fertilizing and raising pH levels to make soil less acidic, said Leonard Perry, horticulture professor emeritus with the University of Vermont.
In a small pot a large amount of ash may raise the pH a touch.

And Bamboo is a 'grass' so it must be good.
Or, at least a member of the 'grass' family of plants.
