Intent: To create an awesome new drug, specifically sold by the Coruscant Flower and Funeral Company
Development Thread: If Necessary
Model: Plant Enhancer 2000 (street name D-Grade)
Affiliation: Coruscant Rotary Club/ Coruscant Flower and Funeral Company
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Market adrenals, hand held inhaler, water, plant nutrient (phosphates, calcium bicarbonate, nitrogen supplement).
Description: Have you ever had a plant that just wasn't growing right? Maybe it's wilting too fast, maybe it's not putting out flowers to your liking? Whatever the case may be, you need...PLANT ENHANCER 2000. One small packet will ensure the proper growth of your plants for the year to come.
Official Instructions:
1. Open packet
2. Spread evenly over planter (1 packet per 6 inch plant)
3. Water profusely
4. Profit
The packets contain two different particle sized granules. About half of the packet contain nutrients, the larger sized granules - the rest include an enhanced and dehydrated adrenal that is roughly the size of silt.
Unofficial Instructions:
1. You'll need a bowl and a strainer (please use a common spaghetti mesh strainer, the spacing is perfect)
2. Place packet in mesh container, bowl beneath, and pour roughly one cup of water over nutrient supplement.
3. The nutrient supplements will remain in strainer (feel free to use these for your plant), while the adrenal will hydrate and spill through the mesh, filling the bowl with rust colored fluid.
4. Fill two glass tubes with the water and rust colored adrenal and place in inhaler. Inhaler and tubes sold separately.
5. Enjoy and watch your plants grow really...really slowly (but also fast, cause nutrients).
D-grade is effectively an upper and down combined into aerolized form. The Benzodiazepine drug essentially modifies the users perception of timing, significantly slowing everything down. The strength of this impact is entirely dependent on dosage, tolerance, and the ability to follow directions properly. This drug was rendered through the combination of standard perception enhancing adrenals, replicated from Quesh, with benzene and diezepine rings added on in controlled chemical settings. With much testing, and numerous slave deaths through human and alien trials, D-grade was rendered potently accessible. High lasts for roughly 5 minutes per application, depending on the size of the user. However, perception of time is increased significantly for this time period (depending on weight on acclimation to drug).
Intended Effects (Strengths)
[+] Everything moves slooooooowly: This can be an extreme benefit to people such as snipers and martial artists, who actively train with the drug (effects perception, not actually inducing lethargic physical state). Otherwise, it's just an awesome experience.
[+] Inexpensive: The drug, after completion of crafting, is relatively inexpensive and can be mimiked with Coruscant industrial waste, instead of needing direct products from Quesh.
[+] Enhances Pain/Pleasure: The drug allows the prolonging of normally brief/temporary neurological responses to outward stimuli. This includes pain and pleasure.
[+] Water soluble: Because of the origins of the chemical, it is obviously water soluble and is not taken up by plants (cannot bypass semi-permeable membrane). This secondary, unintended consequence of the production, allows the ability to really sell the deception of the drug. Along with this, it allows disposal of the drug without causing in form of influx of foreign substances. No trace left behind.
Side Effects (Weaknesses)
[-] Drug spots: Abuse of the drug produces burn marks on the skin, similar to crocodile tear symptoms. Along with this, over use can cause rotting of teeth and loss of calcium, reducing strength of bones, nails, and teeth.
[-] Hallucinations: Overuse has caused individuals to experience hallucinations and even brain damage.
[-] Debilitating: For the uninitiated, the experience can be overwhelming and practically debilitate the user until the high passes.
[-] Hard to get: The ordering of the drug is not intuitive and it's easy to purchase the drug without knowing what it is. Without being in the right circles or in the know, this awesome high can pass you right by.
