It can be used medicinally for pain relief and to reduce extreme cases of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_edema cerebral edema], although under what exact etiology is unclear. It should only be used as a last resort when [[fathom tree|fathom]] bark is not effective, as there is a high risk of the patient developing an addiction; [[Lirin]] hates using it.{{book ref|sa1|38}}{{book ref|sa2|76}}
When used recreationally, the user rubs the moss between the thumb and forefinger. This triggers a reaction that results in a visible glow resembling an ember. The moss then produces wisps of smoke and a crackling sound similar to a knife scratching bone.{{book ref|sa1|41}} Inhaling the smoke makes the user feel relaxed and euphoric, ignoring any stresses in their life and altering their perceptions to become more receptive to new ideas. The body adapts to the drug, as the psychotropic effects decrease with regular use, often leading to addiction.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}{{book ref|sa3|41}}{{book ref|sa3|49}} The heat of the moss may cause finger blistering until calluses are built up; even experienced users may get blisters if they use too much moss.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}}{{book ref|sa1|41}} In some, firemoss use can induce headaches.{{book ref|twok|i|6}} Recreational use is sometimes referred to as "grinding" moss.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
