Editing Smokeleaf joint

'''Smokeleaf joints''' are [[social drugs]] that are relatively safe to use, easy to produce, and provide a moderately potent [[mood]] and [[recreation]] buff, balanced by some drawbacks. Care should be taken however, as the [[consciousness]] debuff its high inflicts can cause death in pawns with already lowered consciousness.

Smokeleaf joints can be cooked at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] or [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]]. No [[research]] is required to craft smokeleaf joints. Each joint requires {{Required Resources}} and, when made at a drug lab, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}} }} of work. Cooking smokeleaf at a crafting spot doubles the work required, to {{Ticks|2*{{P|Work To Make}} }}. The actual [[Drug Cooking Speed|cooking speed]] is dependent on the [[Skills#Cooking|Cooking]] skill.

 

Despite being [[Skills#Cooking|Cooking]]-based, the [[Crafting]] work-type must be enabled in the [[Work]] menu in order to perform this activity.

A pawn smoking a smokeleaf joint will look for a place to sit first, but is still able to smoke without one. Smokeleaf joints are smoked, taking {{ticks|{{P|Ingestion Time}} }}. It has the following one time effects:

* {{+|{{%|{{P|Joy Offset}} }} }} {{P|Joy Kind}} [[recreation]]

** {{+|20%}} [[Chemical need]]

* '''+{{%|{{#vardefineecho:highSeverity|0.5}} * 0.25}} to +{{%|{{#var:highSeverity}} }}''' Stoned on smokeleaf severity, depending on tolerance ''(see "Stoned on smokeleaf" below)''

* {{++|{{%|{{#vardefineecho:toleranceSeverityOffset|0.03}} }} }} [[Drugs#Tolerance|Tolerance]] severity, divided by body size ''(see "Tolerance" below)''

* If the pawn has {{%|{{#vardefineecho:minToleranceToAddict|0.15}} }} tolerance already:

** {{Bad|{{%|{{P|Addictiveness}} * ( 1 + 4 * {{#var:minToleranceToAddict}} / 0.5) }} to {{%|{{P|Addictiveness}} * 15}} }} [[Addiction]] chance ''(see "Addiction" below)''

** {{+|{{%|{{#vardefineecho:needOffset|0.9}} }} }} Smokeleaf need ''(see "Addiction" below)''

** {{--|{{%|{{#vardefineecho:addictionSeverityOffset|0.06}} }} }} Addiction progress ''(see "Addiction" below)''

Therefore with 0% tolerance the severity increases by {{%|{{#var:highSeverity}} }}, with 100% tolerance by {{%|{{#var:highSeverity}}*0.25}}. It decreases by {{%|{{#vardefineecho:highSeverityPerDay|1}} }} per day again, meaning that the high of a single dose lasts between {{#vardefineecho:highDurationMin|{{#expr: {{#var:highSeverity}}*0.25/({{#var:highSeverityPerDay}}/24)}} }} and {{Plural|{{#vardefineecho:highDurationMax|{{#expr: {{#var:highSeverity}}/({{#var:highSeverityPerDay}}/24)}} }}|hour}}. The maximum severity of a smokeleaf high is 100% which is reached with {{#expr: 1/{{#var:highSeverity}} round 1}} to {{Plural|1/{{#var:highSeverity}}/0.25 round 1|joint}}. Regardless of the smokeleaf high severity, the effects are always the same. Only their duration changes accordingly:

Without any tolerance, a smokeleaf joint will last for {{Plural|{{#vardefineecho:highDurationMax|{{#expr: {{#var:highSeverity}}/({{#var:highSeverityPerDay}}/24)}} }}|hour}}.

Each smokeleaf joint consumed increases the tolerance of the pawn by the following formula:

 

<code>Increase in tolerance = {{%|{{#var:toleranceSeverityOffset}} }} / body size</code>

 

Thus smaller or not fully grown pawns gain more tolerance per drug use then bigger or fully grown ones. An adult [[human]] has a body size of {{Q|Human|Body Size}}. Tolerance decreases at a rate of {{%|{{#vardefineecho:toleranceSeverityPerDay|0.015}} }} per day.

| rowspan="3" | {{GraphChart| width = 400 | height = 100 | type = line | xAxisTitle = Tolerance (%) | yAxisTitle = MTB Asthma (Days) | x = 50, 50, 100 | y = 250, 180, 135 | xAxisMin = 45 | yAxisMax = 250}}

| {{%|{{#var:minToleranceToAddict}} }} || {{%|{{P|Addictiveness}} * ( 1 + 4 * {{#var:minToleranceToAddict}} / 0.5) }}

The addiction progresses by {{%|{{#vardefineecho:addictionSeverityPerDay|0.0333}} }} per day from the initial 50%. Once it reaches 100% the addiction is healed, meaning it takes about {{Plural|0.5/{{#var:addictionSeverityPerDay}} round 1|day}} to overcome the addiction. Consuming smokeleaf during an addiction will reduce the addiction progress by {{%|{{#var:addictionSeverityOffset}} }} again ''(see "Upon smoking" above)''.

Developing an addiction means a pawn has a smokeleaf [[Needs#Drug addictions|need]]. The need for smokeleaf falls by {{%|{{#vardefineecho:needFall|0.5}} }} per day, consuming smokeleaf satisfies the need by {{%|{{#var:needOffset}} }} ''(see "Upon smoking" above)'', meaning the pawn will need to consume smokeleaf at least every {{Plural|{{#var:needOffset}}/{{#var:needFall}} round 1|day}} to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Smokeleaf joints are a relatively safe drug that's easy to acquire. Adult humans can safely take smokeleaf once every 2 days without getting addicted or facing any adverse health effect.

However, smokeleaf comes with ''significant'' penalties to [[Consciousness]] and [[Moving]]. The Consciousness penalty will make pawns slower at nearly every task in the game, and lowers their effectiveness in combat. This makes smokeleaf poor as a "general" mood-boosting drug - you don't want your soldiers stoned just before a battle. It is best used when you don't care about productivity. [[Prisoner]]s and [[noble|noble guests]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} don't work, for example. It can also be great for mood emergencies.

Since smokeleaf lowers Consciousness, it also puts pawns at a slightly higher risk of death. Pawns will die if they reach 0% Consciousness, so the combination of injury and smokeleaf could kill them. And don't administer smokeleaf to pawns below 30% Consciousness, as it will instantly kill them. However, putting a pawn under [[anesthetic]] while they are stoned on smokeleaf will not kill them, despite anesthetic reducing a pawn's consciousness to 1%.

It is recommended to set a [[drug policy]] to disable "For Recreation". Otherwise, pawns will take smokeleaf joints freely, and run the risk of getting addicted.

 

Smokeleaf is one of the better drugs for trade. Unlike [[beer]] or [[psychite]], you technically don't need research to create smokeleaf joints. However, a [[drug lab]] does require research, and it makes smokeleaf twice as fast to create.

 

* For ''work'' efficiency, smokeleaf is mostly inferior to [[flake]]. Smokeleaf takes more work to harvest ({{++|{{%|-1 + (5/4)*({{Q|Psychoid plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}}/{{Q|Smokeleaf plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}}) round 3}} }} work per drug), more base work to synthesize ({{++|{{%|-1+{{Q|Smokeleaf joint|Work To Make}}/{{Q|Flake|Work To Make}} round 3}} }} work per drug), and each joint is worth less ({{Bad|{{%|{{Q|Smokeleaf joint|Market Value Base}}/{{Q|Flake|Market Value Base}} round 3}} }} value per drug). Smokeleaf joints use Cooking, while Flake uses Intellectual.

: Without the [[Research#Psychite refining|Psychite Refining]] research, smokeleaf is one of the better drugs. If you have drug labs available, smokeleaf is around as efficient as [[beer]]. Beer will take more work to plant and harvest, while smokeleaf will take more time to cook.

 

* For ''growth'' efficiency or ''speed'', smokeleaf is arguably the best plant in the game. In rich soil or [[hydroponics]], smokeleaf will give the most money, per tile, per day growing. In regular soil or worse, [[hop plant]]s (beer) will be slightly better.
