i think it's more serious, so i've started a new thread...

http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/Gauze
http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/Leech

there are not many ways to heal yourself...
* for gauze you need wool, so you have to tame a sheep first - no task for noobs!
and forget trading for just a few pieces of wool/gauze because of needed time and travel weariness...
* leeches are not easy to use and maybe not easy to get - all in all not easy to understand for noobs!
furthermore leeches reduce your SHP, that's not noobfriendly too! - they die like flies because of starving...

this "smoking hemp" idea is not so bad, why not to implement a further possibility to heal yourself with hemp?
(and to trade dope - remember Boar Tusk Snuff, good for STR temporarily, i need that now and then)

>> smoke dried hemp seeds to heal your HHP! use a pipe [Block of Wood x1]
>> drink hemp tea to heal your HHP! that works like normal tea for recovering stamina

>> give green tea and black tea a different advantage: green tea for stamina and black tea for SHP!

1. needed skill is "First Aid"
2. dry hemp seeds with a herbalist table (easy to get) and smoke it in a pipe
3. usa a cauldron/clay cauldron to make hemp tea from dried hemp seeds
3. use a quern to mill dried hemp seeds to hemp flour, snuff it like Boar Tusk Snuff


tl;dr
after all i have three ideas:
1. heal your HHP by smoking dried hemp seeds in a pipe [pipe had to be equipped like gauze/torch/fishing pole in order to use]
>> maybe beside a new status effect that makes you tired and super friendly, so you are not able to fight (calumet pipe???) because of your super happiness...
2. recover your SHP by snuffing hemp flour (works like Boar Tusk Snuff)
>> maybe beside a new status effect that recovers your SHP during this period of time, so it is helpful for hunting...

and finally
3. heal your HHP by drinking hemp tea and additionally recover your SHP by drinking black tea & drink green tea for recovering stamina
>> remember, there was a time you could recover your SHP by drinking wine!

and if you think now "fuck, drugs are so dangerous" change hemp with some new healthy plant or herb!

Don't smoke the fucking seeds, man. Jeesus.

Marijuana doesn't heal injuries. It's medical applications are as an anxiolytic, Pain-Killer (most applicable to nerve related pain like sciatic damage, MS, etc.), Appetite stimulant, sleep aid, anti-depressant, mood stabilizer, & recent studies show it may have cancer fighting properties.

This is ridiculous. Other herbs real or fictional can easily be used for healing.

haha, come on man, smoking hemp seeds?

I smoked seeds and stems that were laying in my stash when I ran out and couldn't find any to buy (god damn police, don't they have better things to do than busting pot dealers?!). It was very shitty.

The stalks and seeds have "much lower THC levels".[42] The UN states that the leaves can contain ten times less THC than the buds, and the stalks one hundred times less THC.

No stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks!

I was only going to say that this makes no sense and should be limited to psychological effects on the player, but it seems we have a few experts.

What is it that we have here?

[sabinati]

yeah for a new and easy possibility to heal yourself maybe make beds recover HHP or something

And, for those that might suspect that I have ulterior reasons. Here's a picture of Germania. She carries hemp. Case closed.

But.... just as an unwanted and unwelcome caveat....

In people with schitzophrenia the use of marijuana/hash etc. advances the onset of the active stage of the disorder by about a decade. In a great many people it does not cause any problem. In rl if you have any schitzophrenia in the family or bi-polar which is closely related, you are strongly disadvised to use the stuff. You get a lot more usable non-handicapped life if you come down with the symptoms in your thirties instead of your twenties. -The damage to the brain caused by schitzophrenia occurs a decade earlier than the first symptoms; the use of THC destroys the brains ability to compensate. By the time you have symptoms you are in big trouble, so you can't smoke just until you have symptoms.

In game? I'd prefer the use of some traditional herbs used to heal such as boneset, feverfew and heal all. But it's just a game and if you want to use hemp, go for it. If I had a choice I'd use the hemp to make an elixer that enables a player to come out of a berserk state. The berserk state would gives them a fighting bonus (extra strength & extra initiative) but be a liability when not in actual combat. Perhaps the player using that advantage might lose the ability to tell friend from foe temporarily? Given several hours of game time the berserk state would wear off on its own, but the use of hemp would make it wear off quickly.
