Okay, I know I'm probably treading on thin ice, but what exactly are some of the "narcotics" of Faerun? The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has moon sugar and skooma, so what about the Forgotten Realms? It's plainly stated in several sources that they exist, but no data on them (at least not in a non-BoVD 3/.5e book) that I know of (somewhat understandably). Maybe in 2e books?
Mistleaf (mentioned several times in Paul S. Kemp's novels) I suspect is one such drug, but I could be mistaken. Are there any other sourcebook or novel-mentioned Faerunian narcotics?
PS- For the record, I ask this for fluff reasons, obviously. I like to be fully-researched in my delvings.

There's some drugs in the 3e Lords of Darkness, I believe.
Ed has also given us some more, dig through the index in my sig. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Wasn't sure if it was that or Magic but I thought it was LoD. :) |

| Although it is not FR-related as such, the Book of Vile Darkness features even more drugs and also spells that can produce them. |

And although it's neither Realms nor core line, Sharn: City of Towers presents more drugs and Magic of Eberron presents an adaptable system for injections. Both are usable in the Realms. |

If I remember correctly, the section in LoD dealing with drugs mentions that these are in addition to the ones in BoVD. So while not FR-specific, they're definately FR-related |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Not to sound sick... but narcotics in the Realms?
