Alvmint

A tall, deep purple plant often cultivated by elves for fibercraft and recreational use. The drug is collected either from resin secretions along the stem or the dried bloom clusters, which may be smoked, made into tea, or eaten outright. It induces a sense of relaxation and mild euphoria, as well as suppression of emotional distress. It is not addictive. Those who use it tend to have distinctively sweet, pungent breath.
Also known as: Elfmint, elfweed, purple grass
