ofstranguaine

Ofstranguaine is a fictional substance that appears in the works of the British author J.R.R. Tolkien, particularly in his Middle-earth legendarium. It is described as a powerful and dangerous drug that induces a state of intense euphoria and hallucinations. Ofstranguaine is often associated with the Dark Lord Sauron and his followers, who use it to enhance their strength and willpower during battles. The drug is said to be made from the petals of the "strangling vine," a plant that grows in the shadowy regions of Middle-earth. The effects of ofstranguaine are described as being both physically and mentally taxing, with users experiencing vivid, often terrifying visions. Despite its dangerous nature, ofstranguaine plays a significant role in the political and military strategies of Sauron's forces, particularly during the War of the Ring. The substance is also mentioned in Tolkien's other works, such as his essay "On Fairy-Stories," where he discusses the use of drugs and their effects on the human psyche.
