Black Dust

Black Dust also called Laira Powder, is a recreational drug used in the Re-Estize Kingdom.

Description
A recreational drug originating from the Re-Estize Kingdom that is easy to mass-produce and thus sold cheaply. Not existing anywhere else, it is the most popularly used drug in the Kingdom, but its influence has spread far and wide. The reason that the Black Dust is legally circulating through the country is because it is officially listed as an anesthetic. This is as the plants that are cultivated to make this drug are less potent. Also due to undetectable withdrawal symptoms, the nobles do not fully understand the full extent of its effects. As such, they have been relatively ignoring the dangers concerning Black Dust, focusing on other matters instead.

Appearance
Supposedly a dark powder that is mixed and taken with water.

Abilities
Black Dust is a highly addictive drug that causes high mental relaxation and euphoria. The frightening part of this drug are the weak withdrawal symptoms. The side-effect of long-term usage includes the shriveling of the user’s brain to about eighty percent of the average brain size.
