God's Bread[]
God's Bread is a drug made from dried mushrooms used by Obsidian warriors before going into battle. It is said to fill warriors with the heat of the gods,[4] and is used to dull the pain of any injuries the user sustains.[5][6] Sefi and Victra indicate that it also has hallucinogenic properties.[5]
Haemanthus Oil[]
A cocktail made from the oil of a Haemanthus flower can render one unconscious in a way that simulates the appearance of death. It was developed by Narol of Lykos to fake Darrow's death at the beginning of the series,[7] and is used by Sevro au Barca to fake his death during the Fall of Luna.[8]
Lexamine[]
Lexamine is a recreational drug used for pleasure. Apollonius au Valii-Rath was a frequent user before the Solar War.[1]
Mjolnir-6[]
Mjolnir-6 is a mixture of multiple combat stimulants used by soldiers of the Solar Republic to stay on their feet during battle. It's considered the Republic's best emergency combat cocktail, but has the side effect of blunting the user's empathy.[9]
Nazopran[]
Nazopran is a combat stimulant used to help soldiers stay awake. It was heavily used by the Free Legions on Mercury in the weeks following the Battle of Caliban.[3]
ResFlesh[]
ResFlesh is a medicinal substance applied to the site of a wound to stop bleeding and help repair damaged tissue.[10]
Snakebite[]
Snakebite is a homemade drug developed by Trigg and Holiday's mother to stimulate the heart and assist in mobility.[11] Trigg and Holiday use it to help Darrow walk after being imprisoned in the Jackal's table for nine months, and Darrow later uses it to awaken Sevro from his Haemanthus-induced coma during The Fall.[8]
Spirit Berry[]
Spirit Berries are hallucinogenics used by Obsidian shamans to see and hear visions of their gods. They outwardly resemble walnuts and are typically reserved exclusively for shamans.[4]
Zoladone[]
Zoladone is a drug developed sometime before 737 PCE[12] that increases dopamine while suppressing empathy and emotional response.[13] It appears to be highly addictive and have severe withdrawal symptoms.[12] For these reasons, the drug is highly illegal.[13] Despite the ban, Zoladone was popular with Republic special ops teams, who used it heavily during the Battle of Luna.[13]
Ephraim ti Horn was a frequent Zoladone user, and Sevro briefly used it during the Rat War.[14]
