Well, seeing as the nicotine found in tobacco is a well known stimulant and would do anything but 'addle your wits', your guess is as good as mine as to what exactly pipe-weed might have been, but it might have been something quite interesting....

Hobbits...they are like Swampy and his mates - living in holes and going bonkers for shrooms and pipeweed....
