Ghost

This drug is extracted from the sap of the Ghost Plant, which is found only on Enigmar. It is characterized by its translucent flesh like skin, with veins of glowing cyan sap flowing up through its single stalk into its 3 leaves. Ghost is harvested from the planet via special extraction needles, or simply by grinding up the whole plant. Entire groups on Enigmar exist exclusively to harvest the drug. When ingested, Ghost induces powerful hallucinations and out of body experiences, some even insisting it allows them to communicate with dead relatives. Medically it can be used in more extreme circumstances as a strong painkiller, but is also quite dangerous as the recipient doesn’t start to feel/care about pain for a day after use, making it easy to injure one's self even more. Due to the apathy it induces, it is not a drug used in combat, though it has been tried. The soldiers end up just wandering away, likely to end up studying an interesting rock for hours on end or talking to the air. Overdosing on Ghost will not kill you, instead destroying your higher brain functions and essentially turning you into a careless newborn. Due to this, it is highly illegal on most Saurian worlds, though many cults/religions use it as a way for supposed communication with the dead.
