I mean, considering that this world's measurement is based on how huge an epic king's schlong was, something like this should at least rate a 5 out of 10 on the "I expected that" scale.
What we should ask is, that mushroom is regulated because it is addictive right? Making it narcotic, but considering that it doesn't seem like there are symptoms of withdrawal...how is this shit addictive? Is it just the flavour? Does it do something to the mana of the sucker? It doesn't do anything to the body, if it did, there would be symptoms of withdrawal after a hot minute, and it looks like no one had been shaking heavily or experiencing other nasty things along those lines.
Not sure if I worded that properly, but I'm just really curious as to how it works.
