What happens to people who eat the lotus flower?

The people lose their will to go home. They just want to eat the lotus flower and stay on the island.

This is a P.S.A. – which warns people not to engage in drugs and alcohol.

Some scholars believe that the lotus flower might have been marijuana because it made the marijuana users lethargic and apathetic.
