Just watched this VICE documentary about an infamous drug used a lot in Russia: Krokodil. This is some scary shit. I mean look what it does to their bodies. It literally eats their bodies away.
But this documentary also gave me an idea: What if we incorporated more stories, characters, and items related to the drug business in the roleplays? In such a shitty future, I would assume drug trade and use is rather commonplace. Worse yet, living in the underground metro, if folks can't get enough pre-war drugs, they might turn to making their own really ghetto drugs, stuff that would make Krokodil look like nothing. An injection made from the acidic poison of a mutated bug, a snorted powder made from drying tunnel mushrooms and crushing them up.
Stories could include things like station soldiers or rangers being sent to raid and crush drug labs, or even more quiet stories about a homeless addict's struggle in the metro.

The hilarious thing about that idea is half the users would be so brittle they'd be unable to fight back. But it's an idea and we could use a little RP to keep this place alive.

Well, I mean, it's not like the people they fight specifically have to be Krokodil users. The enemies could be people hopped up on other things, or dealers and drug makers who don't use any drugs themselves.

Ehh, in my experience with people that sell and make drugs they normally take them as well, unless they're making them from really nasty products and are just trying to sell them for a profit. Which I could see someone doing in the Metro. I say move this idea into the thread planning area and we can work on an idea.
We can decide what sort of drug and what it's properties are there.

Meth? Very easy to do with common chemicals

We're talking about a strange new metro drug I assume. I'm not going to look into or list the stages and what is required to make meth, but I assume it's a little beyond most people.
