A list of fictional drugs taken in the novel.


Novacaine

This is a drug commonly used by dentists to numb the pain. It is incredibly addictive in high-concentrations and for at least a year, Christian J. Armstrong was hooked on it.

It is known for a full-body numbing effect that can also cause slight mental numbness, leading to calm clarity and slow reaction time. The heart slows slightly while taking this drug.

It is also commonly known as "Misery" for the reason it was taken and how it can ruin the lives of its victims due to its high price.

The most well-known dealer of this drug is Mr. Whirly or Tunny Pritchard's dad.

Opal

Opal is one of the newest drugs on the market. It was named as such because of its sparkling highs. It comes as a black liquid, either injected or (the more expensive variety) dropped into the eye.

Christian was also hooked on this drug for a time, opting to smoke it somehow with his marijuana.

A side effect of this drug is that it can screw with your hormones, not just wreaking havoc on your body but causing you to act like a PMSing girl.

Its most well-known dealer is Mr. Ian Woon.
