So what were they smoking? Was it weed?

Normal tobaccy. Modern people don't know how much of a drug basic tobacco was to a largely stimulant free diet.

>>212752599
kek you know nothing about the time period lotr was written in

>>212752599
Tobacco didn't exist in Europe prior to the discovery of the new world.

They were smoking harsh truths, and inhaling deeply. For example, imagine if you had a daughter...

>>212752328 (OP)
it was just fancy tobacco. hobbits smoked bongs of it.

The inclusion of both was Tolkein's doing

>>212752658

The British historically drank tea, not coffee, which is much less stimulating.

It was crystal meth. Tolkien and many other soldiers used to smoke it while in the trenches of ww1

I'm kind of sad how fast that meme died
Actually a lot of memes died of that were around for more than half a decade recently.

Tolkien conceived that Merry wrote a book titled Herblore of the Shire where he very clearly states it's "a variety probably of Nicotiana".
It's tobacco. If you think it's anything else you need to grow up.

>>212760102
That dopey Radagastablasta was smonking that hardcore weirdo shit.

>>212760102
Nicotine is carcinogenic. I’d rather the hobbits be smoking a light strain of weed than that filth.

>>212752658
kek, the irony, tell me how stimulating the late 1930s were?

>>212758734
What the fuck are you on about? *hits pipe* pops up in any thread on any board when a female human has anything happen to her not ideal.

Too bad, faggot.

Wasn't the literal first thing in the book a whole autism chapter where Tolkien tried to explain how there was tobacco in fantasy ancient europe

>>212752328 (OP)
It was nicotine but of the highest quality that could make you somewhat trip anyways.

When did they stop putting cocaine in coca cola

There are literally two opinions of pipeweed expressed by characters in the book:
1. Pipeweed is great (hobbits, gandalf, gimli)
2. Pipeweed makes you dumb and distracted (incredibly intelligent and well-informed wizard)

Okay so if you are saying pipeweed isn't some kind of mind-affecting drug, that's fine you just have to explain why Saruman thinks it is
fucking retards

>>212762024
>2. Pipeweed makes you dumb and distracted (incredibly intelligent and well-informed wizard)
He was jealous of Gandalf being popular with the mortals and had tons of pipeweed stashed in Orthanc to imitate him. Merry and Pippin find it after the Ents sack Isengard.

Young male hobbits were often plied with hallucinogenic drugs by Ian McKellan, the wandering magical pedophile. Even after they became "too old" for the elderly homosexual predator to take them on "adventures" in the woods, many victims continued abusing longbottom leaf to escape the memory of the childhood horrors that eventually twisted them into monsters themselves, perpetuating the cycle of abuse. The worst part was always the absolutely certain knowledge that despite the abuse, their "lifestyle" was a choice.

>>212762149
>smoking among a Maiar has psychoactive effects
this might not be too far from the truth

>>212752328 (OP)
It's called gillyweed and yes it's magic super weed that doesn't make you paranoid, only really fucking baked.

Bilbo calls it the finest WEED in all the south farthing. It's literaly cannabis.

>>212762139
An astute observation

>Saruman: your love for the Halflings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind

Yeah it definitely was 70% tobacco and 30% weed.

>>212758734
>I'm kind of sad how fast that meme died
Are you retarded?

>>212764723
This. Funnily enough that's fairly popular in Europe for some reason.

Tobacco was brought by the elves who use it to treat venereal diseases
imagine forever with aids

yes tobacco underwear for a year treats everything including aids

they would eat psychedelic mushrooms according to Tolkien
Like Radagast the Hero Doser

>>212758027
"Traditionally" the British drank tea you knob?
All the great thinkers drank gallons debated everything and invented the modern world.
Then they would go upstairs and fuck in the brothels.
People turned to tea due to prudes and marketing.

Why do guys hate daughters? Daughters always love their daddies the best. Meanwhile your cherished sons will resent you and likely end up as incels.
