Ganjadil

Ganjadil, colloquially referred to as "the Root", is a dangerous and addictive drug, with effects similar to that of heroin in our world. It is a plant grown in the southern reaches of the Bruxian Empire, and criminal organizations have made a major business out of harvesting, trafficking, and selling the outlawed plant.

The psychoactive traits of the drug are present in the roots of the ganjadil plant, earning its nickname.

The drug is becoming more and more popular in Tirrenor as well, and is being moved across the border into Sea March and Blackwall Hold through criminal organizations like the Vassili Cartel and the Birchmen gang.

"Black-Tongues"
The addictive properties of Ganjadil lead to brutal withdrawals if the addiction is not fed. Because of the limited availability of the drug in the Blackwall Mountains, some addicts have turned to other, even more dangerous ways of preventing the withdrawals. One example is the huffing of the fumes of burning Kol, a special type of fossil rock with similar chemicals to ganjadil. Huffing Kol fumes can prevent withdrawals but has dangerous side effects including destruction of the lungs and a blackening of the mouth and esophagus. This often leads to death in as little as a month of consuming the fumes repeatedly, and even once leads to irreversible respiratory damage. People who have turned to Kol-huffing are referred to as "Black Tongues", and are pushed to the outermost reaches of society in Tirrenor.
