Coenisk also known as Saust (deriving from the ilanean word sasta meaning happinesa) s a psychoactive drug primarily used for recreational purposes. It comes from the Coenisk plant and its main psychoactive ingredient is mescaline which occurs naturally within the plant. It can only be used by digestion.
Coenisk has a number of known mental and physical effects including loss of balance, relaxation, audial hallucination, visual hallucination, synthesia, euphoria and the feeling of floating in a body of water or falling. The drug often takes half an hour to activate however there have been cases of the drug taking two hours. Short term effects include a dry mouth and intense headaches. Long term effects include blurred eyes and persecutory delusions. Women going through pregnancy are restricted from ingesting Coenisk due to studies showing a correlation between ingestion of Coenisk and miscarriage. Coenisk that has expired and been digested can lead to death or cerebal hypoxia.
Coenisk is native to assumptaria and has not been seen growing outside of the nation.
Uses
Spritiual Use
During the years of 960-1621 AD assumptarians widely believed that the Coenisk plant was a portal between anteria and the ilanean Otherworld. This belief was associated so steongly with the plant that it is the etmology of the plants name as it originstes from "Conskair" meaning "connector". This usage however fell into decline when the western ilaneans rediscovered assumptaria and made the assumptarian sect of ilanea more similar to njorish and lethian sects of ilanea.
It is unknown whether or not the natives within assumptarian borders consumed the drug due to the destruction of their texts by assumptarian soldiers and officials.

Since it's discovery in 958AD the plant was used recreationally in casual or party settings. It is still used recreationally in assumptaria to do this day.
