 <p>Veil is a new "designer" recreational hallucinogen appearing on the streets of [[:Category:Motor City|Motor City]] within the last year. It has been determined by authorities to be "very dangerous"; usage and possession is illegal.</p>
 <p>The involved compounds have yet to be extensively studied, as it tends to break down quickly. It is classified as a psychedelic, and has been observed to have hallucinogenic and empathogenic effects, resulting in a solipsistic state (nothing "feels real"). There are unconfirmed, anecdotal accounts that, in some rare instances, use can result in a "psychic experience," including mind-reading or precognition.</p>
-<p>Side effects include pupil dilation (mydriasis), eye-twitching, insomnia, appetite loss, heart/blood pressure issues, and increased body heat (hyperthermia), among others. Severe adverse effects can include dehydration, hyperthermia, seizures, muscle pain, severe cardiovascular distress. Can produce long-lasting serotonergic neurotoxicity and associated cognitive and memory deficits as well as psychiatric changes.</p>
+<p>Side effects include pupil dilation (mydriasis), eye-twitching, insomnia, appetite loss, cardiovascular irregularities, and increased body heat (hyperthermia), among others. Severe adverse effects can include dehydration, hyperthermia, seizures, muscle pain, severe cardiovascular distress. Can produce long-lasting serotonergic neurotoxicity and associated cognitive and memory deficits as well as psychiatric changes.</p>
 <p>It is taken orally, popularly by sucking on popsicle-sticks "painted" with the drug. Requires about 20 minutes to work. Make a HT-2 roll to resist. On a failure, the user suffers the listed effects. This lasts for hours equal to the margin of failure. After that time, the user may roll vs. HT-2 once per hour to shake off the drug’s influence.</p>
 *The HT penalty is at an additional -1 per additional dose within a 24hr period.
