I'm not a smoker. So I'm hoping others can share ideas. What the main uses for cannabis other than smoking? I know you can make paper rope and medicine. End my list open to feedback/suggestions.

When the fibrous hull is removed from hemp seeds, they're almost 50% fat, which is a pretty useful characteristic.  I presume you're looking for ways to integrate cannabis/hemp into a mod without it being purely a "haha, funny drug in the Minecraft-like game" thing.  Given the high fat content, you could possibly make them a really productive source of seed oil.  The taste of cannabis isn't great—quite hoppy at times, and full of bitter, skunky and citrus-y notes from terpenes, but hemp is also very protein-rich; it provides an array of amino acids that rivals other common vegetarian staples like soy.  Hemp can also be spun into thread for making textiles—maybe you could give us an alternate path to linen?

Hemp seeds really need to be hulled before they can be used, though.  Maybe you can get an idea of what's involved and how you'd incorporate that process into Vintage Story from this page, which details a rough method for hulling hemp seeds manually with a mallet, a water bucket, and some patience.

So, my suggestions if you're looking to integrate hemp into a mod would be to make it into a buffed source of seed oil, use hempseed as a hybrid food source for the protein and vegetable categories, and let it be spun into rope or textiles.
