Light a big pile of weed on fire; Create THC smoke

[Sundance]

I can light 12 lockers worth of clothes, paper, etc. on fire and it definitely does not lag the server.

There's really no point speculating whether it will cause insane lag when none of us are coders.

Actually it's a fair assumption. X reagent smoke seems to carry a fair bit of lag, such as the macho man blood smoke as mentioned, or what-have-you.

If that's the case, then burning a large pile of burning hash would make botanists hated more than geneticists.

But there's a logical way to approach this. You could have it has a chance thing. So like, a burnt leaf would have 10-15% (lower or higher, depending) of releasing a THC cloud. The remaining 90% would just release plain old smoke. This would cut down on the lag effect of it completely and it would require the botanist to get a large pile of the mary jane to actually see it any use.

This would mean that hiding other plant matter and burning it (such as curare laden plants) would yield no nasty effects. HOWEVER there's nothing stopping a smart botanist splicing weed or whatever he chooses to burn with something deadly and burning it.
