They definitely legalized something. Possibly poor taste. Hopefully no multiverse-wandering Rarities will encounter this fellow; those shades wouldn't go anywhere pleasant.

"And they say that to this very day, he continues to roll up the legs of dead Bellsprouts into thin cylinders while refusing to tell anyone why."

Wut
I think I should be glad I stopped playing after Gen 2...

Dude's been studying too many grass-types.

Legalized...oak?

“So, Twilight,” panted Spike while raking furiously, “ why do we gather up all of the library leaves and store them in the basement every year?”

Twilight Sparkle took a long drag off her cigarette, held it for a while, then let it out in a long whoosh. “Because sometimes Mama just needs a little something special for her nerves when we come back from missions.”

"What is up, fellow trainers?"

He looks like Ansem from Kingdom Hearts had a baby with Professor Farnsworth from Futurama.

What. The. Hell!

Idly makes me wonder - what sort of recreational drugs are there in the Triptych Continuum? Are there ponies lining up to inhale powdered Manticore Venom? Can Earth Ponies grow a particularly mind-blowing strain of Magic-Enhanced Cannabis? Or are we going with equine rules, and there are clubs in Las Pegasus where stallions pay to lick salt and sugar off a young mare's cutie mark?

Plot Twist: This fellow's dubious fashions choices were actually made by a multiverse traveling Rarity. Anarchist Rarity (Anartiy?) snapped years ago and goes around making abominations of fashion solely to piss off other Raritys. Why? I dunno. Discord was probably involved.

I can see there is a meth-odd to your madness.

Ack! Illegal memes!

Pffft hahahaha. Thank you for that laugh.

“But what does it even mean to bring out somecreature’s best self through fashion? Ha! Superficiality! To truly shine we must bring out the person to the point that mere fashion is transcended and they, and they alone, are the arbiters of their self. Through defiance of fashion I am, in fact, pushing them towards enlightenment!”
“She on the Vileplume again?”
“Parasect spores. I’d worry more but my Abra is insisting she’s calmer than when she arrived.”

Parasect spores

Considering those are guaranteed to put you to sleep in the games, that scans.

"4/20 Blaziken, am I right, kid?" the Professor said around the blunt as he pulled my Charmander's tail to his face and lit up the end.

I stared at him as a sudden, horrible thought came to mind. "...Professor?"

He inhaled mightily, holding the breath, though I heard a vaguely inquisitive sound from his chest.

"...what happened to that dying Oddish I saw in here yesterday? The one you were trying to save?"

He finally let the breath go, a massive white cloud rising to the ceiling tiles. I fought the urge to gag at the smell.

The professor took the joint between his fingers and gazed at it. "Just like Gym battles, kiddo," he said sadly. "Ya win some...ya lose some..."

I felt the blood rush out of my face as I stared first at him, then the blunt. "You...is that...did you...?"

"Goin' green by growin' green, little dude. And when I can't grow, I just recycle."

My stomach flipped. "Uh...I...oh, my God..."

Oak looked at me with concern. "You okay, brah? Need a hit?"

My eyes burned with tears as I stared at him, my jaw flapping uselessly.

He shrugged. "Hey, puff-puff-Nosepass." The brilliant white teeth flashed as he grinned. "Get it? Damn, but there's so many drug jokes with all these Pokémon..."

He took another hit, even as I tried to find the words to describe my horror.

"Ya ever notice," he said as another smoke cloud wafted upward from his lungs, "that a Tangela kinda looks like a giant nug of weed?"

At his thoughtful look, my legs decided that if my brain wasn't going to tell them to run, they would take the initiative, and I snatched my Charmander from the examination table, bolting for the door.

"Hey, while you're out, could you pick up some Slowpoke Tail? I got the munchies!"

I laughed at this way harder than I should have.

Soooo wrong but sooo right as well, well played sir/madam well played.

Love this question and speculation, hope we get Confirmed Continuum Cannabis lore incoming.

As far as [pic] goes, the first thing I saw (and so subsequently the only thing I ever see looking at the pic) was how his hair is Kyuuby ears. I was honestly baffled how it related back to weed when I saw this earlier but after pondering it for a few hours and looking at this comment section now I guess it's the weird glasses?

“Shit grandson, you keep me peeling squab squams and slipping nib nibs I'll lick whatever ain't nailed down!”

This Oak wouldn’t say that, he would be “The War is bullshit. Here’s some weed, we can talk about it at my pad."

We’ve seen performance-enhancing drugs, Medical Treatments, and Potion-brewing, so we know chemistry is sufficiently advanced. And we know recreational intoxication is a thing from the Tri-Annual Festival. So it stands to reason the concept exists to some degree.

I just wonder what form it’d take. A Pegasus musician named Bobtail Marley? A skinny, blond-haired Unicorn named Wren and his heavyset, bearded, coat-wearing heterosexual life partner named Noiseless Dan? A pair of Zebras named Cheech and Chong selling herbal remedies? Or just an Earth Pony couple, one who specialises in baking brownies and the other who has a knack for creating unusual ornamental sculptures made of glass and filled with water for some reason?

Sam and Gary. There's a mental image. :applejackconfused: Though some of the Ultra Beasts would fit right in in the Rick and Morty multiverse. I could definitely see Morty awkwardly sitting next to a Stakataka in some alien waiting room.

I know! The possibilities are endless. Love the ideas you've thought up. I have a burning curiosity to know how ponies imbibe without either hands or horn. Like, what would the local equivalent of a bong end up as? :pinkiehappy:

It's a rich exploration of the real world filtered through the details and constraints of the setting, yet presented in a way that makes so much sense when you read it. That's one of my favorite aspects of Estee's writing, and the way rereading old stuff later on makes you see and catch the hints and subtle clues laid out in plain sight.

And what was Luna’s observation from A Good Trot, Spoiled again? Ah, yes.

"One should never even remotely consider banning something without a full understanding of it."

Cue a pair of deeply under-the-influence Alicorns teleporting to Mazein because they have an irresistible craving for fresh Baklava...

Feel like I should share some trivia I learned: apparently, in the original Japanese the equivalent to "Grand" uses the same character as the start of "Dynamax" and that's probably not a coincidence. Especially with the "old person desperately pretending to be relevant" energy 5201789 noted.

Or, like, just Tree Hugger. Because whoa.

5201788

We're talking a pony who probably would get a high just sniffing books, and I don't mean the glue holding them together.

In a world where Tirek hasn't literally blazed it, I could see Tree Hugger coming by, making a few relaxing things, utterly freaking out a Twilghting Twilight until Spike ends up adding that little something to some brownies and finally, finally she learns to bliss out and groove.

And we find her the next day with a beatific smile on her face in the middle of the library floor, decoratively sprinkled with books.

"Dear Princess Celestia: Today, I found out that not only do I love libraries, but I love library trees. Soooooooo much. Spike sent a few brownies, you should try one! Your faithful tree lover, Twilight Sparkle."
