Obviously make sure you run me down on whatever long term side effects I can expect and precisely what kind of pleasure plateau we're talking about here! Things from sci fi that I've seen be used as drugs: 1) Cigarettes 2) Electricity 3) Ginger (for nonhumans) 4) Steroids 5) Black Spiderman Costume 6) Spice Spice Baby

If I get those inserted do I eventually ever run out and will it make me go into terrible withdrawal (this is not necessarily a deal breaker of any kind)

That one seemed really lovely to me like why would I want subjective time to go on for LONGER like I already live in a horrible post nuclear apocalypse city can I get some mo-fuggin shrooms or something. Maybe something to give me a hard on? SOMETHING had better be improving when I take these drugs gosh darn it.

Were I to find myself in that particular sci-fi universe I would definitely gland all day everyday. frogge fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Mar 2, 2020 |

Melange (spice). It turns you into a giant floating baby-thing with psychic powers and a face vagina and EVERYONE wants to stay on your good side because you're, like, the only one that can stop their spaceships slamming into planets and stuff.

Like imagine if by taking drugs a weekend felt like it lasted for two weeks.

So in Warhammer they have some kinda of super steroid I could take right? Is that a drug? Will I grow large and smash things? I think that would make my brain feel at least a little bit good.

i mean there arent many scifis where the plot revolves around a specific drug that everyone in the galaxy who matters is hopelessly addicted to, so dune lets not forget sappho, the mentat drug that's probably just an amphetamine, though there's also semuta, which is the combination of some sort of drug and music that only sounds good on the drug which may or may not be a dig at the grateful dead one of the later novels (still by frank herbert though) mentions something called a hypnobong, which evidently doesn't require a chemical component to get you high Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Mar 4, 2020 |

Also it makes your dick fall off (unless you're from one of the Chapters that fucks)
