Well, the Florilegium not being censored by the SCA or the Bush
administration has some info on this, although there is not much, if
any, info on the use of such substances in food:
smoking-msg (15K) 1/10/02 Period smoking of tobacco and other
plants.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/PERSONAL/smoking-msg.html
hemp-msg (48K) 7/30/01 Use of hemp in period. In ropes, as
an
intoxicant, clothing. Recipes.

Actually hemp cloth is what "canvas" was originally made of and wears
much better than cotton canvas. Too bad it is so much more expensive,
especially for something like a pavilion.
