Just a couple suggestions to people looking for Eorzean drug parallel-y stuff:
- For an Eorzean equivalent of ecstasy, one may look at the sassafras tree and how it is harvested for various purposes (culinary, medicinal... recreational). Sassafras oil/safrole is what's used in making the drug IRL - so you don't necessarily have to look to crazy witchcraft or voodoo for the creation of the substance. Alchemists/botanists would certainly be useful for its extraction/manufacturing though. :3 I'm sure there's some tree in the Black Shroud you could point to and say "Hey, that's the guy" and take the RP from there. Don't piss off the Elementals, though, when you go chopping down their nice trees! I hear they're pretty straight-edge.
- I also suggest kratum, 'cause it's a chewable leaf thing, and that seems fun and do-able in a fantasy realm. It's also not super hard-core, it's actually kind of like coffee's sister. Perfect for the Eorzean working man.
The only other thing I have to add (if I remember correctly) is that milkroot stinks.
