I was looking for some good 3.5 D&D stats for marijuana

and am coming across these old conversations where people are chiming in that marijuana in a D&D game would be "immersion-breaking" for them

and like, what?

lol

it's a plant

quinn2win: right?

speaking from experience I can say that marijuana gives you disadvantage on most rolls

also what the fuck do they think "pipeweed" was in lotr

quinn2win: a lot of people will insist that it's tobacco

90's propaganda against weed did a number on a lot of millennials

but also, like, the most common kind of rope in most editions of D&D is hemp rope

it's like, what plant do they think those fibers came from?

the rope plant, clearly

They'll put opium poppies in every damn thing, but cannabis is a bridge too far?

I think it's just strength of association. they hear weed, and it conjures images of hippies and stoners because that's just what it's been tied to culturally for most of our upbringing, while the long and varied usages throughout history are kinda lost on most people

the war on drugs did +80 psychic damage to people

Why do you look that up, just make up shit on the fly, it's a fantasy world.

I just defined that there is no "fresh water" and "salt water" difference in my world.

There is just "water". Period.
