For a Silly treatment of this topic, see New Caprican loco weed.

Roslin and Adama enjoying a smoke.

New Caprican leaf[1] refers to a mildy-psychotropic plant[2] indigenous to New Caprica.

It is seen briefly, being smoked by Admiral Adama and Laura Roslin during the New Caprica groundbreaking ceremony (Unfinished Business). When Adama asks Roslin about the plant, she confirms that it grows wild in the area.

Notes

References

  1. This is a Battlestar Wiki descriptive term.
  2. Considering its relatively quick application into familiar weed cigarettes and cigars by Roslin and presumably other New Capricans, New Caprican leaf may be related to similar plants on Kobol and on some if not all of the Twelve Colonies. No information is available on whether the plant is a true weed or a parallel to the real-world Earth substance colloquially referred to as "weed" or "marijuana."
