We Have Beer, What About Marijuana

[RedRaven]

Ok so I'm sure this has been brought up already, but why not add marijuana to the game as well. A mod already exists that has a lot of great ideas for it such as medical items and the obvious recreational parts. However I think hemp could really add to the game. It would give us a way to craft rope so you could have al alternative to the ladders. I think there's a ton of possibilities the game could benifit from if it were officially added.

The beer just seems useless, drains your stamina, gives you a hangover, makes vision blurry. How about something that could actually add a lot to gameplay.

Dude really?

Also. Hemp and Marijuana are different.
Wiki quote

Hemp is not to be confused with the close relative of the herb Cannabis which is widely used as a drug, commonly known as marijuana

[Hunter221167]

The fact that it is still illegal in a lot of countries and it still has a negative "drug" stigma to a lot of people whereas alcohol is generally legal under controlled conditions and commonly accepted in society

I'd rather have candles from wax, or bread, than beer or pot.

I dont want this game turning in:

we need opium, for perfect torpor^^

So it's fine to have useless beer because it's "accepted" ... Yet adding a plant which is actually useful to survival nope... Also duh Hemp and Cannibis are seperate these days but cannabis is hemp with more THC and CBD, that's it.

There could be really cool points of survival with this. Such as you could make textiles (rugs and what not), medicines, rope, armor (similar to cloth but maybe with more hpyothermic insulation) all sorts of items that would actually be useful to surviving. Beer, though does nothing to help us survive but you are all fine with that somehow? Lol.

No I think the beer suck also and is stupid.

Also we already have fiber from planets to make all the textiles you said.

And they are to differnet sub species of the same planet. Like the difference between. Red white and yellow roses.
Or the difference between navel and mandarin oranges. Learn your planet biology.

That's also why hemp is still legal and the other is not most places

You already use Narcotics. When was the last time you heard someone die from smoking weed then driving. Or getting angry, liver dying, blurry vision, short tempter blah blah blah. Never understand people who are against cannibis but pro drinking and cigs.

I have heard of a few people crashing cars because they were idiots trying to load their pipes or roll something driving. Blurry vision can happen with it. Other then that. They just get hungry thirsty and happy lol

There's different uses to the plant yet...only one use for beer.

You can't make medicinals from that fiber though. Also I really think having multiple options for how to achieve the end product makes the game more satisfying. You can either go grab fiber in the wild or you could harvest it from a garden you maintain, I think that would be awesome. Also you keep focusing on they being different strains... I already know this but considering the in game Trike, is a combination of 2 real life animals why not combine the two real world plants for the sake of easier crafting in game. This would make it easier than farming 2 seperate crops as the actual marijuana is needed for medical things and hemp for industrial things, combine them into one for ease of use.

There's narcotics, stimulants, and beer... so I'm rather confused to all the backlash against marijuana/hemp as I personally think it could be a really great way to expand on the current game systems without a ton of extra coding. Farming is already implemented, as are other crops lights etc, so it would be a fairly easy thing to implement, with multiple other craftable items being opened up to its addition.

Are you against the medical form? Or the form you can use to craft items??

Alcoholics get to have their thing...and their thing is useless. While potheads' thing is USEFUL.
