The hobbits in the Shire may require a little maintenance on the hair on their feet, but they do get some things right.

The “little people” living in this community love to pack a bowl of pipeweed. Even Gandalf is seduced by the herb.

Saruman, the dark wizard, criticizes him, “Your love of the halflings’ leaf has clearly slowed your mind.” But he, too, succumbs to the pressure too and ends up puffing on the pipeweed.

  • The Matrix Red/Blue pills aren't drugs. Tired of reading that.
    Blue is placebo and Red is the tracking device. Waking you up from battery sleep, and helping the "real" humans find you in the human energy harvesting complex. There's no drug effect.
