Wonder Wound

On the hills of the Halflings, in a different dimension, there are miles of plantations of Wonder Wounds. The plant is a root-like green vegetable that is best harvested after sunset, as that is when it's smell is the most potent.

Historical uses

In ancient times, it is said that Halflings shamans used these to cure the ill. They thought that pain was the root of all problems, so a root would be the solution. Inhaling its smoke made people forget about their pains, and any other feeling of their body. Fortunately, the Placebo Effect saved a lot of Halfling youths.

Modern Use

It wasn't until recently that mankind got a piece of the plant. After hearing from Halflings that the root could cure all illness, scientists came back to Earth eagerly to test them. They were surprised to find out that the smoke of the plant is only an anesthetic that only numbs the body, and not the mind. Eventually, the Halflings caught wind of the news. For a few years, some Halflings continued to grow and apply their medical use. But the patients realized that it wasn't actually helping them recover, so the plant lost its psychological effect. However, in the late seventies, a true entrepreneur saw the possibility of financial gain. Although the plant was seen illegal in most countries as it was often compared to Marihuana, there were still some distribution methods that the government could not stop. By the true American way, the Wonder Wound made the seventies an enjoyable time to live in.
