Bliss

Bliss the drug of choice for the idle rich, and does very much what the name implies. Under the effects of bliss many find themselves in a state of absolute euphoria, unable to feel or do much of anything. A way of escaping the world if only for a moment or two. Bliss is one of many narcotics offered by The Vision Concert Hall though it has been making it's way on to the streets of Arbor where it's distribution is less controlled and is often cut with other less expensive substitutions many of which can be lethal.

"Bliss will take away the pain and the harsh edges of reality, once it leaves though the world just looks gray by comparison to the one you left so why not get enough for a long time." - unknown Bliss Dealer

Description

Bliss comes in a few different forms, 2 forms are most prevalent the one provided by the The Vision and the other that is procured from street corners sold by dealers who managed to get a supply from unknown sources.

Vision Method

The Vision is meticulous in the amount each guest receives making sure that no one overdoses and more importantly is too tripped out to appreciate the show after all the point of the drugs is to enhance the performance not to lose yourself in the narcotics. The preferred method of delivery is a specially prepared candy that guests are instructed to suck on slowly with a timed release to maximize enjoyment of the performance.

Street Version

Sometimes you will be lucky and find a unused or misplaced sweet however in most cases the method of delivery is in the form of tea bags that require one to steep the bag in water to release the narcotic contained within. This method of delivery is far less precise and the amount one receives can vary wildly from person to person.

Effects

The primary effect of Bliss is a euphoric state with minimal hallucinations, an overwhelming feeling of everything being better than it is and a general well being are also common. In addition the common phrase that the edges of the world don't seem as sharp any more is quite common though it's difficult to explain to someone who has not taken bliss to describe why this feels so right.

Side Effects and Withdrawal

Things get complicated quickly with Bliss, it is highly addictive due to the feeling it presents in people, the escape and feeling of ecstasy make it very easy to become entrapped by the feelings it gives out. In addition long term exposure to the street version of bliss can lead to a greening of the lips partly due to the mechanism of delivery. Long term exposure to bliss can make a person irritable and prone to rage filled outbursts with surprising levels of strength and aggression.

Procurement

Bliss is available on many a street corner from a variety of dealers in it's more controlled form the Vision theater maintains a healthy supply for performances.
