Street Drugs
Buzz — cheapest
Brewed from stimulant secretions grown in discarded biomech filters. Buzz sharpens reflexes, kills fatigue and keeps a body dancing or working long past its limits. When it wears off, the shaking starts.
Root
Cultivated in the warm, damp spaces beneath the city, this dark fibrous growth is dried and smoked. Root softens pain, slows the world and makes even a hostile street feel briefly welcoming. Too much leaves users lost in their own thoughts.
Snow
A glittering synthetic powder made from cultured nerve crystals. Snow brings a rush of confidence and energy, then bends light, sound and faces into strange new shapes. Some chase the visions; others spend the night trying to escape them.
Venom — most expensive
Drawn from a living biomech gland and refined into an injectable serum, Venom floods the body with warmth and profound relief. Fusion Docs sometimes use controlled doses during long implant procedures. On the street, its bliss comes with a fierce dependence, a ruinous price and the risk of never waking up.
