Negative Effects: The drug will begin by causing a feeling of nausea (which will pass within an hour). Following use of the drug, the user will feel sluggish, drained and weak. Addiction is possible, but primary addiction seems to be psychological. Prolonged use of the drug is both physically and mentally debilitating. There is a 1% chance per use that the user will (permanently) lose an attribute point, one point from Grace and (roll 1D8): 1—Strength, 2—Knowledge, 3—Agility, 4-5—Stamina, 6-8—Common Sense.

Positive Effects: Local anaesthetic properties.

Negative Effects: Overdoses—which require .2 to 1.5 grams of pure cocaine—are rare. They usually occur after the user has gotten hold of unusually strong mixtures and are not ready for it. Overdoses result in death. The drug is only mildly physically addictive. It is very powerful in addicting a habitual user in the psychological sense. Also, a high degree of tolerance can be developed over time. Snorting the drug can cause the nose of the user to bleed and rot, pallor, cold sweats, convulsions, fainting, and halts in respiration indicate mild overdoses and cocaine poisoning. A psychological paranoid psychosis known as 'formication' will often set in with prolonged use. This is the feeling that insects have taken up residence under the skin. If overused, the individual may experience excitability, anxiety, talkativeness, rapid pulse, dilated pupils, headaches, nausea, vomiting, increase in body temperature and hallucinations.

Trip Length: Approx. 2 hours

Properties: The user will experience a strong, psilocybin-like state, colourful hallucinations, strange patterns, and a number of telepathic and clairvoyant insights.

Negative Effects: None known

Epena
Other Names: Yopo, One Hit Weed

Trip Length: Approximately ½ hour (up to 6 hours for after effects)

Properties: Yopo affects the user almost instantaneously. The initial effect leaves the user floating through a variety of sensations, including perceived colour and size changes in objects, and an intoxicated, dizzy feeling combined with a false sense of alertness and clear vision. After effects leave the user with an odd, slightly euphoric view of events.

Positive Effects: None known

Negative Effects: Sinus irritation, and extreme fits of sneezing may overcome the habitual user. The first five minutes of the trip may include trembling, headache and confusion.

Other Names: None

Trip Length: 6 to 72 hours

Properties: Small doses act as an aphrodisiac—even as a cure for impotency. Users may engage in non-stop sexual activity for 6 to 10 hours. The effect is a by-product of the drugs effect as a stimulant to the muscles and cardiovascular system. Large doses allow individuals to remain alert and mentally active for up to 48 hours while remaining quite motionless. The psychedelic effects of the drug produce a unique dream state, while reasoning powers and consciousness seem to be unimpaired.

Positive Effects: The ability to remain motionless can increase one's ability to hide, sneak, ambush, or similar tasks, by up to 5 levels of ability. Strength will increase by 1 point for 6 to 24 hours.

Negative Effects: Very high doses result in hallucinations, a maniacal shrieking and finally a taut, epileptic-like state. Overdoses result in convulsions, paralysis or death. The psychoactive ingredients of the roots may exceed 6% so overdoses can be extremely dangerous. Long-term use of this drug profoundly weakens the cardiac muscles, shortening lifespan.

Lettuce Opium
Other Names: Sativa

Trip Length: About 3 Hours

Properties: Lettuce opium to similar to, but milder than, poppy opium. It produces a milder sensation, requires larger amounts to produce even that effect, and is less addictive. Opium from a wild lettuce base is less than ¼ as potent as that from the opium poppy. It will, however, produce a sleepy, dreamy, intense, high—without the other spaced-out sensation, time distortion or any of the more singular opium effects. Its effects are also somewhat shorter lived.

Positive Effects: Oddly, lettuce opium can be used to wean a poppy opium addict away from his preferred drug. It is also a painkiller and is useful for that purpose. Withdrawal from lettuce opium, while extremely difficult and unpleasant, is still easier than withdrawal from poppy opium. It almost never results in fatal withdrawal symptoms and may save lives.

Negative Effects: Lettuce opium is toxic in very large amounts. It may produce unconsciousness or even coma-like states if used in extremely large amounts. The material of the opium is also extremely irritating to the throat and lungs and will increase the risk of related disease. Lettuce opium is addictive in cases of prolonged use of fairly large amounts. Once addicted, withdrawal is very unpleasant. Fortunately, actual addiction is not likely because of the amounts required.

Side effects include dizziness, pounding headache, nausea, diarrhoea, cramps, and confusion. Large doses may produce permanent insanity or death.

Positive Effects: None known

Negative Effects: In addition to the other side effects, there is a 1% chance of possession by a Demon for the duration of the trip. This could result it permanent insanity.

Properties: Effects vary from a light hallucinogen (infrequent and only at higher doses), relaxant, tranquilliser, appetite stimulant (caused by a desire to chew because of a dry sensation of the lips and palate), or intoxicant. Occasional negative reactions are the result of the user being beset by psychological or personal problems that may seem more intense with the use of the drug. This can result in a spider web of depression, misery, fear, panic or paranoia. Such a result is extremely rare in non-psychotics.

Negative Effects: The drug is always addictive if used for a prolonged period of time. The addiction is a long and painful experience.

Withdrawal includes, chills, tremors, diarrhoea, weeping, heavy sweating, nausea, vomiting, muscular and abdominal cramps, uncontrollable yawning, runny nose, goose flesh, appetite loss, and insomnia.

Positive Effects: None known, popular garden flower

Negative Effects: Violent Headache when combined with certain foods or other drugs. Also possible violent attacks of vomiting. Foods include: alcohol, avocados, ripe bananas, broad beans, excessive caffeine, milk products, cocoa, pickled herring, yeast extract, narcotics, chicken liver, oils of dill, fennel or parsley. If these foods are avoided, there seem to be no ill effects.

Peyote
Other Names: Anhalonium, Hikori, Huatari, Mescal, Mescal Buttons, Peyotyl, Seni, Wakowi

Trip Length: 4 to 24 hours

Properties: The user will quickly begin to feel an intense nausea (vomiting is probable and is actually recommended so that the trip does not proceed through a haze of spinning nausea and dizziness) after eating 3 to six of the nasty little devils. After the nausea and vaulting is past, a respiration increases accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness and depersonalisation. Soon a visual storm erupts. Senses cross over, colours intensify, and music may be experienced as visual or tactile. When the effects wear off, the user will feel exhausted and will generally collapse into a deep sleep.

Positive Effects: Many users report some revelation of a religious nature during the trip.

Negative Effects: Overwhelming nausea during experience and a general lethargy for up to a few days after use of the drug. No other ill effects are known and it is not an addictive substance, even after prolonged use.

Pipizintzintli
Other Names: Pipi Leaf, Pipi Tea

Trip Length: Approximately 2 hours

Properties: A feeling of intoxication, colourful hallucinations, and visual patterns follows a ½ hour of mild nausea.

Positive Effects: All psychic sensitive abilities, or spells related to reading mental pattern, have their effect doubled for both range and duration as well as sensitivity.

Negative Effects: Mild Nausea, no others known.

Notes: Pipizintrintli is a relative of the mint and is a very common tea. Unsuspecting imbibers will find their saving throws against spells and abilities like those above are lowered by -2. It is a frequent drink of many sages and shamans who wish to increase the range and power of their spells.

Psilocybin
Other Names: Hombrecitos, las Mujercitas, los Ninos, Magic Mushrooms, Mushrooms, Noble Princess of the Waters

Trip Length: Various

Properties: Initial reaction is quick, a few minutes, and may include nausea, pupil dilation, or other discomforts. Within an hour, these negative effects will be replaced by a feeling of heightened sensory awareness. Colours become kaleidoscopic rainbow showers; objects may seem to be observed in minute detail. Sound may become sight. Time and space become distorted, or may seem suspended.

Positive Effects: None known

Negative Effects: Paranoia, disorientation, intense anxiety or panic, and depression are common results of a trip, and may become chronic problems to the confirmed user.

Sao Pedro
Other Names: Mescaline, Peyote Seni, Wakowi

Trip Length: 2-20 hours

Properties: The drug is very similar to Peyote in effect, with far less risk of nausea. It is also less of a stimulant, so the user will feel more tranquil during the experience. The trip begins about an hour after eating (or drinking a tea from) the cactus slices. The user will have heightened sound and colour perception, though it will be distorted. Brilliantly hued visions will occur—some beautiful, some horrible. There seems to be a connection with the outlook of the user to what he or she sees.

Positive Effects: Useful tranquilliser for some. There is a 1% chance per use that some new mystical insight will develop. This can aid in learning a new ritual, or may even lead to the creation of a new one. Most of the insights gained in this manner will deal with phantasms, or with divinatory/informational magic.

Negative Effects: If use more than once every 10 days, there is likely to be a psychological addiction. Few physical symptoms will be noted, but the user may experience chills, irrational anger, anxiety, or terror, and nervous sweating for long periods of time after being denied use of the drug (or otherwise unable to obtain it). Addiction will occur in 3-6 uses after the user begins to take the drug too frequently.

Notes: Considered sacred to several different Druidic groups.

Tobacco
Other Names: Coffin Nails (or Coughin' Nails), Pipe Weed, Smoke, Weed

Trip Length: less than ¼ hour

Properties: No real drug experience, the only feeling is a rush of increased blood pressure.

Positive Effects: Useful insecticide. The act of smoking is relaxing—and it gives you something to do with your hands in uncomfortable social situations.

Negative Effects: The user quickly becomes addicted, usually after just a few uses (even just 2 or 3). It is thought by some to cause premature deaths from continued use. Withdrawal can be very difficult—comparable to caffeine, and arguably at least as difficult as any on this list. Symptoms include (but are not limited to): irritability, headache, cramps, anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, sweating, palpitations, impatience, irrational anger, energy loss, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, light-headedness, constipation, tremors, depression, feelings of emptiness and hunger, and the inability to put up with anyone's bullshit.

Wild Fennel, Parsley, and Dill
Other Names: Spice Oil

Trip Length: 1-6 hours

Properties: Powerful Hallucinations

Positive Effects: All are valuable spices

Negative Effects: All are known to produce epileptic-like seizures and convulsions in users along with the strong hallucinogenic effects. The drug may also cause internal damage that does not heal. Roll System Shock or suffer 1D4 points of non-healable damage.

Yage
Other Names: Ayahuasca, Caapi, Jungle Drug, Natema, Tiger Drug, Yaje, Yake

Trip Length: 2 to 12 hours

Properties: The drug provides pleasure and is reported to have aphrodisiac effects in addition to its hallucinations and ESP effects.

Positive Effects: The drug can act as if the user has clairvoyance (50%) or mind-reading telepathy (50%) if the user makes a Knowledge check.

Negative Effects: The drug is extremely dangerous and it is very easy to overdose. Overdoses cause cramps, convulsions and death (in extreme cases).

Yohimbe
Other Names: Lizard Tail Yerba del Pasmo, Yerba Mansa

Trip Length: 2 to 5 hours

Properties: About ½ hour of nausea (not overly severe) is followed by 2 to 5 hours of pelvic tingle, mild changes in perception and mild hallucinations if taken in large amounts.

Positive Effects: Useful aphrodisiac for the impotent; used in some philtres and potions.

Negative Effects: None known, but nausea will result from use of many other drugs within 3 days of the use of Yohimbe.
