Do you have a source for this? Because if they were radioactive then they would all be dead before they could reproduce.Brahmin meat IS radioactive. It's only Bethesda lore where Brahmin milk has properties to cleanse radiation, by the canon YOU guys want Brahmins are radioactive and NCR people irradiated themselves every time they eat.
NCR sticks to Brahmins because surprise surprise it's canonically the only cattle which they've become dependent on, so the masses that can't afford rad away die from radiation poisoning according to non Bethesda lore. (If you want to use Bethesda lore then Brahmin milk cleanses radiation from the body so it cancels out the radiation)
Besides, even if it is true that Brahmin meat and milk are radioactive, and a lot of people eat it and live long enough to reproduce then by the same logic they are capable of using jet and not immediately dying.
SOME of them use it. Not all. Where is your source that everybody uses it? Some people using it does not mean that the whole society uses it.Source? The Mojave shows multiple examples of the NCR troopers falling to drugs like Psycho whose to say they don't also use Jet?
Just like tranq wouldn't take off realistically? Of basically any other narcotic? They are all harmful to one degree or another and people still use them. What part of that do you not get?That's the point Brahmin shit Jet would have never taken off realistically, that's why Bethesda retconning it into a prewar drug is good
Where's your source for this? Do you have any evidence that New Vegas uses Bethesda jet instead of Interplay Jet? Do you have any a list of the side effects from each variety of jet and evidence that Interplay jet is more harmful? And your stupid head-canon doesn't count.You mean the less harmful Pre-War drug Jet not the Brahmin shit Jet.
Yes they would, just like in real society. Mostly because they can make more of it unlike the other drugs. And you don't need that many people hooked for it to be profitable. The whole point of making drugs is that junkies can't stop buying. They are the ultimate repeat customers.In a post apocalypse society no one would use radioactive Brahmin shit they'd look for other drugs, Brahmin shit was just a stupid edge lord concept that I'm glad Bethesda retconned early all into FO3.
It would have been too lethal to be used wide spread and for it to be as famous as Fallout 2 made it to be the NCR the people would have to be literally retarded or suicidal and a large chunk of it to boot
Also, jet is not shown as being as lethal as you say it is in Fallout 2. What is shown on screen doesn't support that. All you have is your own head-canon.
In that case who is to say that the parasites that may or may not inhabit Brahmin are the type that cannot travel through fumes?Yeah the dung that people touch and shovel to burn, parasites CAN travel through fumes to not all of them but they can
