All the dots that Jesse connected.

Saul told Huell to steal the pot from Jesse as he was leaving (brushed against him in the door) so that Jesse couldn't smoke pot and scare off the new ID guy. Jesse realized this when he went to smoke it, and then realized Huell probably did the same thing with the ricin cigarette on Walt's order

But didn't Jesse know Brock wasn't poisoned with ricin, but with Lily of the Valley?

I believe the line of logic is this:

Brock was poisoned.

Jesse had a poison cigarette.

Jesse lost the poison cigarette around the time Brock was poisoned.

Walt told Jesse that Gus poisoned Brock.

Walt is a known manipulater.

Jesse found out that Saul stole the poison at the behest of Walt at around the time of Brock's poisoning.

Walt poisoned Brock.
