| | | Do hobbits get high?
I just posted it here, cuz there's no LotR forum:
I believe the hobbits smoke up and take halucinogens. Just think about it: They like to smoke pipe WEED. Described as a herb that calms etc. Sort of like Cannabis. They also like to gather Mushrooms. Nothing more is described about that, but given the first, it seems very suspicious. What do you think?

| | Some people claim to see hobbits when they are high.
Not sure what hobbits see though...

@ Linty....need more evidence before we can draw a firm conclusion - they could be smoking something as innocent as chamomile tea
Are there any episodes in Hobbit or LOTR where there is
(a) frantic eating
(b) somewhat unnecessary giggling
(c) deep conversations including phrases like "Wow, man" or "Yeah, right" etc.  |

| | Hmmmmm....
Food for thought: Pipeweed. Hobbits grew the best; Gandalf enjoyed it, Aragorn enjoyed it. The hobbits in the Fellowship went through great pains to take pipes and pipeweed along with them on the journey...which they gladly shared amongst themselves and others. Hmmmmm. Free love, free weed mentality covered here.
Also worth note: Hobbits indeed ate several meals a day, something along the order of seven, if I'm not mistaken. Munchies covered here.
Dialogue between Merry and Pippin: Middle Earth equivalents of "yeah, right, man..." Lingo (and also giggling) covered here.
Gandalf was a ventriloquist and used magic. Case closed. It's official.

| | | It's like this... Hobbits have ne'ry a care in the world, they eat and party all the time, they've all lost their shoes, their growth is stunted through years of excessive use. They have awful short term memory, they eat all the time...how many examples do we need. Did I mention they eat all the time...and their short term memory is awful. I'll be back later, i've got a sandwich to finish before onesies.

And if memory serves (records of my own poor memory exist in another thread )......didn't the hobbits also have visions whilst peering into Galadrial's pool?

| I guess that does sum up well the mushrooms they love to ingest.

| | Hmmmm....."pipe weed".....mushrooms...... I am beginning to think that the Shire represents even more of a utopian vision than Tolkien originally intended......

| | @Ned,
Was that due to gathering up motley souls along the way, or was it one of the many consequences of free love?

| | | I don't know, I stole the line from Stephen Stills, or was it...Joni Mitchell. Well, I think she wrote and he sang it, along with crosby, nash, and canada's own Neil Young as well.
