I think it was mentioned that milkweed was noxious for the PC races, though.
Sylphs also use slime from the dreamtoads... and I can't remember any in-game mentions of it not working for the PC races. So I -guess- people could go and lick toads to get high...
Yes, I forgot to mention that part.
It's highly addictive and hallucinogenic for mortal races, as well. Â It's just also really, really toxic for them, too. Â I forget where I read it, but apparently the toxicity still doesn't deter people who want the high off it. Â At least in 1.0, it was apparently a problem for a portion of the population.

Is Moko more tobacco based or cannabis? If it's more tobacco then is there even a cannabis equivalent? I'm looking for some item that is used to relieve stress.
Anyways, back to the OP (cause apparently I managed to delete that part of my first post without realizing...) With a bit of research... as long the methods of producing are reasonable for the technology apparent in the game and there's no direct, in-game dialogue against it, it's fair game. There's plenty of herbs/brews that have been used for thousands of years, so with a bit of research there's plenty to be found. For example, if kukuru beans are the equivalent of cocoa beans (as the icon appearance and actual usage in the game suggests)... technically the only reason Eorzea doesn't have cocaine is the lack of technology to extract, condense (since cocoa leaf tea/chewing cocoa leaves isn't enough to get you high) and stabilize it.
I personally peg Erozea's tech levels to mimic what was available during the Renaissance/Age of Exploration (with Garleans being Steampunk), so I might be allowing more than other people are willing.
