Mores the pity since it is such a relatively innocuous herb and medicinally 
quite valuable despite government and conservative propaganda to the 
contrary. Of course, this does not mean that such documentation does not 
exist. It merely means that it was not found by you (or I) at the time. I was 
particularly impressed by your use of a 1930s citation to dismiss the current 
research into cannabis. 

The cornstarch idea sounds good for the purpose you are using it for although 
orris root serves to preserve the scent. A property that I was not aware that 
cornstarch possessed. I am not particularly adverse to the use of non-period 
things so long as everyone is aware of it from the beginning.
