(THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH IT UNLESS YOUR ADDING SOMETHING, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME TIME AND ILL MAKE THIS PAGE GREAT!)

(Please don't delete I'd really like to make this a good page, I can go much more in depth than anything I've seen everywhere else but if this is going to be serious your going to have to give me some time to make it look nice!)

I will mostly talk about the following-

1) Drugs and psychoactive in TES series

2) Drugs which appear in TES that are from the real world, example- Amanita muscaria, Morning Glory, etc.


Foreword on Psychoactives, Drugs and Entheogens[edit]

This is going to be a serious scientific article, not an article about getting high or drug use (unless its directly part of TES). I am an ethnobotanist and work around the world with traditional cultures who use many various psychoactive plants. I take this work very seriously and many of the most useful medicines today came from psychoactive (or sometimes toxic) plants. This is NOT some kind of stoner/hipster page. I take this work very seriously and if it can't be appreciated then I'd rather not take the time to type it all up.

Please understand that I will be directly discussing psychoactives and their effects, both from TES and from the real world. Many TES games are rated "Mature" and this is a mature page. So go ahead and tell me now if y'all don't want drugs/psychoactives to be part of UESPs.

I personally think this article should be here simply because drugs ARE a part of TES since Daggerfall (where you could transport drugs for nobles)! It should also be noted that psychoactives are part of ALL cultures. From alcohol and caffeine in Western culture to Ayahuasca and Peyote used by Native Americans, drugs of some form, on some level are used by just about every society in the world and to leave them out would have taken away from the cultural depth that many TES players enjoy so much about the series.
