Arrozine is a psychoactive drug that is popular in the Astorian kingdom of Las Isloyatan. Its popularity is attributed to the hedonistic party culture that the city provides those who visit and live within its walls. Arrozine origins come from Las Isloyatan founding members rice farmers. Arrozine
Appearance Description Arrozine is made from fermenting rice. The grain rice that is farmed from Las Isloyatan is a small white grain. When it is harvested its size and weight may vary but are usually three cm long and 0.04 grams heavy. After the grain becomes fermented it puffs up a bit and gets a little bit heavy due to its retaining some of the liquid. The white grain color becomes an amber golden brown with a series of pink stripes.
Harvest process After it is harvested the rice is put into fermenting boxes. The box is filled with the fermenting liquid which comes from wild rice plants ground up into a syrup. The harvested grain is covered with the fermenting syrup and covered up for an extended period of time. After a period of time the rice grain is now ready to use.
History The drug's origins are tied with rice farming and rice farmers. Farmers first discover Arrozine after an extra fruitful harvest season. The then fledgling kingdom had produced enough rice to feed themselves ten times over. The only problem was that there was not enough room to store all the excess grain. After running out of places the farmers just dumped the exes rice into an area that was later found out to contain the fermenting syrup. There the pile sat for a week until the farmers got tired of the eyesore. Coming to a group consensus that burning the rice pile would be the best course of action. What they did not expect to happen was that the smoke emitting from the rice would get them high.
Culture Arrozine started as a working class drug. It was cultivated and used by the farmers to relax after a long and grueling day out on the rice fields. As the kingdom of Las Isloyatan grew and strayed away from its rice farming routes the role of Arrozine in the kingdom's culture shifted. Now it's a drug that has different tears for the different wealth classes.
