Dream Sand

Dream Sand is a narcotic made from the leaves of a nightweave bush, which only grows in south-eastern Rlaysia. The leaves simply make the user extremely drowsy when rolled and smoked, but when powdered and ingested via snorting, produce a high in the user so potent that they are rendered nearly catatonic- hence the name Dream Sand. It is illegal to possess in any southern nation and control of its distribution is a huge problem for Rylasian law enforcement.  
==Effects==
Snorting dream sand produces a number of effects in the user. The user will experience a high that is so intense it renders them almost comatose, and they will be unable to move or speak for as long as an hour depending on how much sand was ingested. Nobody to date remembers what they experienced during the high, save for a period of intense euphoria and psychadelic visions just before blacking out. For all intents and purposes the period of effect is lost time for them. The user's heart and other body functions slow down to a crawl during the experience. Heavy users call this event the "dream window" and often brag about the length of their past dream windows and the things they saw before blacking out. 
As the user develops a habit for dream sand, they will also develop an acclimation to its effects and require more and more of it to achieve the same high. Users must be careful not to use too much or their heart will slow down so much that it stops during the dream window, causing death. 
==Legal Use==
The leaves of the nightweave plant can be legally used as a sleep aid, as rolling and smoking the leaves produces extreme drowsiness in the user. Trace amounts of dream sand are used by alchemists to make strong sleeping potions and anesthetic for traumatic surgery. Such use is strictly monitored and requires a license in alchemy or medicine, as well as an additional license to possess the sand. Selling legally obtained sand or leaves for use illegally is punishable with stiff fines and long prison sentences in the south.
