I thought lotus was some kind of drug plant.

There are myths about the Lotus Eaters, who would feed their guests fruit of the lotus which would make them forget their homeland and wish to live in Lotusland forever. I think there's something about this in the Odyssey.

However, as far as I can tell, the powers of the lotus plant are the stuff of myth, not reality. My main reaction to trying some lotus root was to get annoyed by the fibers stuck in my teeth.
