Well, you are presenting an Islamic Outpost (a small one), probably in the
middle of nowhere North Africa. Historically speaking, the use of marijuana was
pioneered by the Muslims because of the Quranic rule against drinking alcohol
(pot being another way for them to get inebriated). Contemporary Muslims don't
smoke anymore because the "no wine" rule has been extended to marijuana because
of the inebriation.
However, I don't think it is historically inappropriate for some middle of
nowhere outpost to enjoy a bit of hookah every now and then.
