>A new cult has arisen in the galaxy, centered around the worship of a strange, green narcotic plant. Followers of the cult have begun referring to themselves as "weedians" and have begun organizing pilgrimages to the desert planet where the drug originated.

I dunno dude, I think there's a better way to make a setting inspired by Sleep without making it DUDE WEED LMAO: The Setting. A psychedelic retro sci-fi setting would be cool though.

>'weedian'
>not rastafarian
>not even any of the other names for the drug
Apply yourself.
You could even make them 'Janians', referring to their founder Mary Jane, a subtler reference to the stuff.

>rastafarian
too "street"
>Janian
too pre-existing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism
instead, call it Green Lotus, make the cultists "lotus-eaters" and send the players in as investigators of the cult and not followers.
from then on you do a retro sci-fi version of Reefer Madness
also this:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus-eaters
>In Greek mythology the Lotus-eaters (Greek: λωτοφάγοι, lōtophagoi), also referred to as the lotophagi or lotophaguses (singular lotophagus /ləˈtɒfəɡəs/) or lotophages (singular lotophage /ˈloʊtəfeJdʒ/), were a race of people living on an island dominated by lotus plants. The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were narcotic, causing the people to sleep in peaceful apathy.

Who let Canada/Netherlands start a religion?
The plant, they called the "Vinum Sabbathi" they use to wash their demons away, as ordered by the Electric Wizard, who reigned from his Dopethrone centuries ago, before achieving a state of non-return, when he found the white hidden fire.
Their current spiritual ruler is Singata, the mystic queen, and the omen of burning circles in the sky marked the beginning of her reign.
In her name, the Regulator leads the armies agaist the unrelenting hordes united under the Black Flag of Orange Goblin.
And when the seven thunders will roar, the Red Giant will give birth to the Queen Of All Time.
Now sleep, since no one knows when the doom will come.

Goddamn I love doom so much.
