Stallman enjoys Rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants:

" Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants)."

Likely a geektastic way of suggesting he likes to snort weed. Marijuana comes from the buds of female cannabis plants.

Maybe cocaine? Who snorts weed?

While it is meant to be humor. Might be cocaine too, but coca is extracted from leaves rather than flowers, and that didn't seem a good fit. On a more innocuous note, he might just as easily have meant tobacco snuff. Or nothing at all. With RMS, all things are possible.

Or smelling dead/died flowers.

Thanks for posting this, I didn't want to spam the comments with the whole man entry (haha, "man entry").

I'm just super curious where the nasal/plants thing comes from or even how it works. Is this going to be on the next episode of Taboo[0]?
