    Not necessarily, being a mentat doesn’t require the use of spice. Many use it because it enhances their thought process

      Your right about them not necessarily relying on the spice melange, but they do rely on the juice of the sapho root to accelerate their thoughts and increase their processing speed. So yeah, they’re still on drugs :)

      I find coffee to be up to the task to come up with plans that are better than “let’s give my enemy the best thing ever, because he migjt mess it up and to get his guy to betray him we will torture his wife”. Yeah real wheels within wheels 4D chess going on right there.
