One time I was so hosed up on snake leaf I picked up the wrong jar and accidentally vaped some Hupyrian beetle snuff.

Let's just say that's NOT an experience I recommend.

In all honesty I think it would have been significantly less idiotic if the answer was "yes, people still enjoy nicotine in the future" instead of "well YOU SEE it's actually Orion space drugs"

I know that giving things a space name is a very Star Trek thing to do but as somebody who vapes a lot of not in space weed to deal with chronic pain there is no way that scene could not have been funny

If it would've been just weed people would have whined that oh just cause marijuana is popular now suddenly they're smoking weed in Star Trek even though they never did once before.

Apparantly what she's smoking is the same plants she's growing and seen watering on her front porch. I could maybe see an incredible stretch of "parallels between Picard growing wine in luxury and Raffi growing space weed in the desert" but I sincerely doubt that much thought was put into it

I'm not sure why you say apparently, because the actress, on camera, breaks off a piece of one of the plants, sticks it in the miniature space vape, and proceeds to hit it.

HI I LIKE TO GIVE ADVICE ON RELATIONSHIPS
The thing I took away from that scene, coded as paranoid old coot in a trailer notwithstanding, is that she's incredibly bitter about Picard having a life outside of Starfleet, incredibly bitter that he didn't so much as look her up after she got fired as collateral damage, and incredibly bitter that she realizes that it's partly her fault; there was nothing standing in her way of doing something else. But as has been pointed out, she seems to be living the life she wants to, isn't starving, isn't wanting for any material comforts, and isn't being bothered.

I'd have accepted "she's totally vaping, but she's vaping spacedrugs instead of tobacco or weed." Because, y'know, one of the fun bits of Boldly Going is finding new and interesting things to eat, drink and smoke. Getting into the well-actuallies about the vape pen being totally this Orion cultural thing is a little tryhard, though.
