A fan nickname for the substance that President [[Laura Roslin]] and Admiral [[William Adama]], characters from [[Battlestar Galactica]], can be seen smoking during a flashback in the season 3 episode, "Unfinished Business".
 
 
It has been confirmed in a podcast by creator [[Ronald D. Moore]] that this is a psychoactive substance and not a mere stimulant, such as nicotine. In the episode, [[Laura Roslin]] wanted to build a cabin by an area where the plant grows naturally, though it is not clear whether she was the one who discovered the psychoactive nature of the plant by trying to smoke it.
 
===Origins of the Term===
 
The term was coined on the [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showforum=24 Official Battlestar Galactica Forum] on Scifi.com in the [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2255884# 12th post of the 'What was Adama SMOKING?' thread]. The post was made by a forum member named Whahaa on 12/1/06 at 10:28pm eastern time and has gone on to inspire [http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2255884&st=760# hilarious fan art], as well as a semi-regular spoof entitled "Battlestash Galactiganj" by the HTML-impaired FulltimeDefendent.
