In the Hellmouth V Cup, the
Salt Lake Turbulence
discovered Lifestyle Weed - plant material that can be smoked like marijuana, smells like marijuana, causes the same side effects (mega red-eye and cottonmouth) as marijuana, but with no negative psychoactive effects (no mental fog). This struck an acceptable middle-ground between the Enlightenmeh (who still had something to write home about, and could continue to look cool) without the unacceptable psychoactive effects of marijuana the Orthodoxeh objected to.
As a result, the Great Salt Lake Civil War was resolved, and after a long period in the wilderness (the entirety of the Hellmouth IV Cup), the team was back in the fight - mathematically flawless patterns, intuitive fluid motion, and precise control. Like Popeye eating a can of spinach, the Salt Lake Turbulence would hoover up a thick cloud of Lifestyle Weed and exhale points. They could pretend to be baked, but still knock out a full three-dimensional integral by hand, in pen, holding their breath the entire time.
They came out fighting in Hellmouth V/Season 3, taking every series to the max (3-2 over the
Tucson Butchers
, 4-3 over the
Tucson Butchers
, and 4-3 over the
Milwaukee Flamingos
) and bringing the Hellmouth V Cup home to Salt Lake. They would repeat the feat in Hellmouth V/Season 22, defeating the
Milwaukee Flamingos
to take home their second and final Hellmouth V Cup.
