LOTR and M J

Old Toby was the name given to that weed, if memory serves. It didn't say anywhere that the weed was marijuana, so there's no reason to assume that.

My personal guess is that it's simply a specie of tobacco, as is evidenced by Tolkien's use of the word "Nicotina" in one of the Appendixes.

A jolly good smoke seems to be one of the hobbit's joys. Indeed, the hobbits claim full responsibility as the very first to put the weed in a pipe and smoke it.

Celebration, I'm sure.

The Encyclopedia of Arda has this to say:

Quote:Halflings Weed:
Tobacco; smoking was invented by the Hobbits, and great quantities of Leaf, as it was called, were grown in the Shire, especially the warmer regions of the Southfarthing.


So... yea.
