Charrnip = drugs
This is probably totally inappropriate to discuss on a forum intended for a game used by 12 year olds, but why not. This is too hilarious.
I can totally imagine this stuff being illegal in legion-based Charr society, if it truly is a real-life equivalent to catnip. I highly doubt the High Legions will want their troops hashed up while going on a conquest.
As a semi-related note, even some big cats respond to catnip.
Lol at people still thinking marijuana makes you halucinate and trip, just a perfect example how masses of uneducated people can be made to assume something just by seeing it portrayed a certain way on tv and movies repeatedly
Well, my cat definitely consumes catnip orally, so it is kind of like a snack.
Also, if it is a drug it should be noted that various military groups in history have encouraged or forced the use of psychoactive drugs in their soldiers as a way of controlling behavior. It may not be as illegal as some would initially believe. The desired effects may vary from getting troops to better cope with unbearable circumstances to taking away all sense of self preservation.
