Immortality (drug)

Immortality (Illegal drug) – Made from the Immortal Blossom. Crack mentioned that he’d heard of something new on the street in Immortal in Death. High powered, good long buzz, tough on the credit balance. However, it was slow-acting poison that might be taken for about five years before it overloaded the nervous system.

The process: Immortal Blossoms were grown on the Eden Colony. Someone with a horticulturalist license might order the Immortal Blossom and have it shipped to Lilligas, a florist on Vegas II with a reputation for dealing in contraband flora. From there, it was likely that it would be shipped to a lab (Starlight Station) where the nectar could be distilled.

When the formula for Immortality was examined, it was determined that it was unknown. It was some sort of analgesic (but not entirely) with hallucinogenic properties. It was an organic stimulant, a standard chemical hallucinogenic, both fairly low and nearly legal amounts with an addition of a small amount of Zeus. It included mint (to make it more palatable), Brinock, and an unknown substance (the derivative from the nectar of the Immortal Blossom).

The computer indicated it was a probable cell regenerator and, in all likelihood, would cause feelings of euphoria, paranoia, sexual appetite, and delusions of physical and mental powers. A dosage of fifty-five milligrams into an average human of one hundred and thirty pounds would last four to six hours. A dosage of more than one hundred milligrams would cause death in eighty-seven point three percent of users. Substance similar to THR-50, aka Zeus, with addition of stimulant to enhance sexual ability and cell regeneration. Daily use for a period of five years would, in ninety-six point eight percent, result in complete and sudden shutdown of the nervous system. And death.
