If each player is also in possession of a joint, I would use rule 9-8-1j. Since you probably don't have a field test kit with you, I would rule is as being tobacco. That would be 15 yards for unsportsmanlike. I would also confiscate the material in order to prevent future violations - preventive officiating. What you do with it after that it up to you!

No kick in the original play, snap was mishandled, it was just a plain old running play/fumble, that ended up in joint possession, then I have to go with the team last in possession, therefore 2-points for B, and A/K gets the opportunity to kick to B/R.
