Howdy!
He's not dead? He's not dead!! Huzzah!
Personally, I have had very little experience with recreational drugs in-game. However, there was one roleplaying session that I was snooping on which included a drug which I believe is non-canon, called "Shiva's Tear". Whilst this is not a canon recreational drug in Eorzea, for me it made the scene and I felt inclined to ask about it afterwards, so here goes! (A little profile, apologies if it's patchy, my memory is not the best.)
Name: Shiva's Tear
Street Codename(s): "Spring Water", "Hyuran Funny-Juice" (usually used by Goblin traders)
Ingestion: The drug takes a liquid form and, as such, is most commonly injected or added to food/drinks.
Manufacture: Now, this bit I cannot remember much about, names mainly. All I remember is that it is created by the distilling of some hallucinogenic shrub in pure spring water. Depending upon how long it is left to brew/distill and the purity of the spring water used, the stronger it is. Impure Shiva's Tears can be called "Primal Piss".
Effects: From what I saw, Shiva's Tear is a hallucinogenic. In it's purest forms, the liquid drug can invoke the most vivid of visions and, indeed, waking nightmares. The individual experience varies from person-to-person. When this was used in the scene I looked in on, it was brewed in to herbal tea and ingested by a "Prophet" to predict a prophecy. Presumably, some cultures have taken this drug to grant futuresight, etc. Though, when I asked the people who were roleplaying it's effects, it is most commonly used for relaxation.
Take the above as you will, but personally, I loved the scene that was acted out because of this psychedelic little hallucinogen.Â
