Description

Vomit weed is made from dried Ipecac Root, which is then ground up and boiled with sugar and alcohol, creating a thick, dark brown syrup. This fluid is often placed in drinks to induce vomiting. While considered an excellent practical joke among Greenskins and some Humans, the effects of Vomit Weed are very unpleasant, although not fatal.

Lore

While most uses of Vomit Weed are for prank and mild cases of revenge, it can also be used for medical purposes, helping a subject to release any toxins they may have consumed along with everything else in their stomach. While they are often ill for a few hours afterwards, the temporary discomfort is often preferred to the alternative. Attempts have been made to weaponize it, but the result is always the same: the moment a subject imbibes what could potentially be a lethal dose, the body vomits it all up, if a bit violently.
