Is it permissible for me to rent my father's land, which is cultivated with drugs, to my brother, provided that he bears the responsibility for that, knowing that no one else wants it for anything other than cultivating cannabis?

If you are certain or highly assume that your brother will use your land for drug cultivation, then it is not permissible for you to rent it to him. This is because it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." [Al-Ma'idah: 2]. Jurists have prohibited renting or selling anything that is known or highly assumed to be used in disobedience to God.
