Trivia

• The Herb's appearance and item description in EBF3 are likely a reference to cannabis, a psychoactive drug harvested from the plant of the same name. As the item description states, cannabis has been used for both medicinal and recreational purposes in real life.
• While a bit more of a stretch, the Herb's color and description may be a reference to the Green Herb, a common healing item in several installments of the Resident Evil series.
