they smoked pipe weed
Pipe-weed
Pipe-weed, a herb with sweet-scented flowers, was evidently brought to Middle-earth by the Númenóreans during the Second Age, as Merry speculates in the Prologue, and as suggested by its common name in Gondor: westmansweed. It was known among the Dúnedain as sweet galenas for its fragrance. As the Hobbits' custom of smoking it became more widely known, the habit spread to Dwarves and the Rangers of the North, and the plant became known as Halflings' Leaf.
Pipe-weed was first grown among Hobbits by Tobold Hornblower in Longbottom (a region in the Southfarthing of the Shire). Despite its foreign origins, the Hobbits (possibly those in Bree) were the first to use it for smoking. (As Merry points out, not even the Wizards had thought of that.)[32] Popular Hobbit-grown varieties include Longbottom Leaf, Old Toby, and Southern Star; its cultivation became an established industry in the Southfarthing.
The Wizard Gandalf learned to smoke pipe-weed from the Hobbits. In The Hobbit he turns smoke-rings into different colours. One palpable description of the weed's effects is given by Gandalf to fellow wizard Saruman upon a meeting of the White Council:

esmebuffay (09/20/2012) [-] It's closer to normal tobacco than pot, even though it's literally called pipe weed it's not marijuana. The Lord of The Rings books were written around the time of WWII by a Catholic man with a young child, it's not likely he would have his characters getting high, he read the books to his son after all.
