New Caprican leaf

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

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

RDM confirmed its psychotropic status in the podcast for "Unfinished Business".
RDM uses the term "joint" when referring to the plant in the podcast for "A Day in the Life".

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."
