Well can they?
Because that would be hilarious.

**Gavin Thorne**

Well, hmmmm.

I know that SM's organs are killer at filtering impurities and such. I'm sure I read somewhere that Space Wolves drink gallons of alcohol just to get a buzz.

I've also read a novel in which a chaos marine in service to Slaanesh spent his time puffing on a hooka and enjoying the hallucinations brought on by said smoke.... that may just be the chaos god's gift allowing him to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh though.

As far as hilarious, I'm not sure. About as much fun as a screaming, roided-out Catholic skinhead would be if he were toking the dope...

**statu**

while it would be great to see a whole chapter stoned out of their heads in the middle of a battlefield, i reckon that all their extra organs will stop it from happening, unfortunately

**tigonesskay**

The space wolves put an herb in the beer so that they can get "drunk". So the poision neutralizion glands that they have can be overrided.

**Big Mek Zagbitz**

I'm pretty sure that's part of how the Emperor's Children started getting all Slaaneshi.

**Shadowbrand**

It is, We spend like rougly a weekend in a Lodge at Davin getting High/drunk/laid and that werid orchestra that i read about in lexicanum that made the first Noise Marine's that's how we turned to Slannesh

double checking my source's it sound's bout right

**Gwar!**

It's pretty hard, but it is possible.

In reality, Space Marines are in a constant "high", as they are constantly fed stims and such to keep them alive.

**ShotgunFacelift**

It would have to be something strong enough to kill a regular street freak.

something like pure extract from an adrenachrome gland..

Usually when one of these threads pops up, people are always like "It got changed to the 40k background section to stop this stupid crap!".

Well guess what, this is the only parts of the background anyone cares about.

And I hope spazz maureeenz can't get high, because that is slowed and heresy.

I remember readin somewhere that an entire agri world was devoted to producing weed. Or did i just make that up?

I probally just did.

**Exarch_Nektel**

They normally can't, no. There are special cases like the Space Wolf Mead, but that's because the Wolves want to get drunk. For a space marine to get high, it would have to be on some sort of chaos energies like slaaneshi stuff (allusion to "Fulgrim") or flecks (allusion to "Ravenor").

Or be Doom Rider:

Too awesome to be on lexicanum, that's who he is.

**Cheese Elemental**

"Out of the mists of chaos he rides, bike in his crotch and sword at his side!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Rider!
Doom Rider.
Na na, na na.
He fights his own war, takes his own track, If he doesn't bail he might make his points back!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Rider!
Doom Rider.
Na na, na na.
Son of Slaanesh, full of desire, He does cocaine and his head's on fire!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Rider!
Doom rider.
Na na, na na.
Fights with fury of a dozen men, Spends two turns on the field then he's gone again...
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Rider!
Doom Rider.
Na na, na na.
His bike squeals as it ploughs on through the nearest guard, His skull is flaming as his daemon sword gets hard!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Rider!
Doom Rider.
Na na, na na.
He's a killer and he's bursting out for fun! Screaming off, now he's gone, someone rolled a one!"

He is a Special Character from the first 3rd ed chaos codex IIRC. He always started in reserve and had to roll a D6 in the shooting phase, on a 1 if he went POOF! and vanished.

**garret**

And he does cocaine.

**Dreadwinter**

They should update Doomrider.

He kind of has a cult following.....

**Gwar!**

Because he does cocaine!
