Social drugs
Social drugs are drugs that are relatively safe to use; they can never cause or contribute to overdose and require a certain amount of tolerance to cause addiction. This categorization is also used to determine acceptability for the Drug use precept.
A soft, rare fruit. Ambrosia tastes wonderful and produces a subtle mood-increasing chemical high. However, if eaten too often, it can generate a mild addiction.

Many tribes use psychoid tea, both as a daily energizer and as part of social and religious rituals.
Psychite tea is a relatively safe social drug that greatly improves mood, slightly reducing pain and the rate in which pawns get tired, at the risk of addiction.
