The closest I have been to smoking weed was burning my hemp clothes and jumping into them.

death by overdose

(What about you guys? Do you wanna 420 blaze it on Adventure Mode?)

You can judge your obsession with a substance by how much you want to indulge it even in a virtual world that has no connection to the real one.

that's a no

[Max™]

Don't get me wrong, I miss pot, I'd be high if I had some, I'm sure DF would be a blast stoned... but ehhhh.

[Glueable]

I'm saying as an active effect, Perhaps LSD or something will make you see things, and perhaps you can die from any spirits you see. While weed makes you less focused, but will make your wounds heal faster?

[Max™]

Weed made me more focused... weird.

Natural psychoactive substances have been a part of so many spiritual traditions that it should be factored into cultural generation. There are indigenous traditions that still use it for rites today. Peyote is the nearest example.

Have you ever read Terrance McKenna? He was a drug anthropologist.

I thought Golden Salve was supposed to fulfill such recreative and lucrative role as a substance.

One man's gnomeblight is another man's ecstasy. Most mind altering substances are poisons.

weed in DF is a horrible idea
everybody would be so high nothing would ever get done

"ey mon, you take care of dat dragon?"
"naah i'll do it later"

[Uzu Bash]

That's not so; weed isn't everyone's choice. Dwarves would still go for the booze, elves would probably prefer herbs, goblins would probably snort crystal and huff gasoline, and humans would do a bit of everything.

Also, some rituals cause natural neurochemical effects by increasing or decreasing blood flow to the brain, so a substance isn't always required to get high.

well in df you can get dizzy from being drunk and stuff (including dying of clcohol poisoning now) so its totally possible now, also i dont drink irl, so why not get drunk in dwarf fortress, or high, it would probabbly be hilarious.

*Not particularly, no. Are you so addicted to pot that you wanna be high in any video game you see? Go to rehab or something, dude. That could, uh, bite you in the ass one day.

What an utterly ridiculous comment.

Firstly, cannabis has never been proven to be physically addictive.

Secondly, you're being needlessly aggressive to the point where I can only assume you're projecting.  If DF didn't contain alcohol and someone suggested adding it, the rational response wouldn't be to assume they suffer from crippling alcoholism.

[Uzu Bash]

imo, DF is more addictive than marijuana. Smokers like to harbor the fantasy, and anti-drug activists like to nurture the hysteria, that everyone would be smoking weed if they were free to try it.  If it were decriminalized, there wouldn't be a significant increase in users, even occasional users, there'd just more people willing to admit it. And law enforcement time and money could go toward the legitimate job of apprehending non-imaginary hazards to community and society.

*It was morning and mornings aren't my strong suit, hahaha. I tend to say stuff like that when it's morning and I don't know why. But yeah, I'm an idiot at mornings. But yeah, I don't know if weed was from way back, but there definitely were substances back in the day, so  yeah, they should be in the game.
