Qat
Chewing qat leaves sharpens reflexes for a while, a social stimulant popular across Qadira despite the grogginess that follows.
While initially used by Qadiran soldiers and warriors going to battle, this stimulant and euphoriant soon became popular among civilian Qadirans from diverse social strata. Some of the latter close up shop for three to four hours after the midday meal to socialize and chew qat leaves. User experiences with qat vary from feeling energetic, euphoric, talkative, and alert to experiencing depression and hallucination, depending on the quality and type of qat leaves.
The save for addiction to qat is DC 14, but the maximum addiction stage of qat never progresses beyond stage 1.
Saving Throw DC 14 Fortitude; Onset 10 minutes; Maximum Duration 8 hours; Stage 1 +1 item bonus to Reflex saves (10 minutes); Stage 2 stupefied 1 (1 hour)
