Details
Veil is a new "designer" recreational hallucinogen appearing on the streets of Motor City within the last year. It has been determined by authorities to be "very dangerous"; usage and possession is illegal.
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.
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.
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.
- The HT penalty is at an additional -1 per additional dose within a 24hr period.
- Critical Failure or overdose causes a "seizure," [and possible death.]
- Critical Success can result in a temporary "psychic experience"
Users under the influence of Veil gain/suffer the following:
- Hallucinations (see Incapacitating Conditions, p. B428)
- Unfazeable
- Compulsive Behavior (Risk-Taking); Decreased fear-response can result in abnormal "risk-taking" that can place the user in danger.
- Severe Delusion (Rationalizes Supernatural Occurrences); lasts for Fail# days?
- [Redacted]
- Long-term use can result in some mild zombie-like symptoms: lowered Will, increased aggressive/feral behavior (including biting and scratching).

- [Redacted]
- [Redacted]
Notes
- Slang terms for Veil-users: "Pop-heads" "Pop-Users" (reference to popsickle-sticks).
- Emergence of the drug, and resulting popularity, has led to popsicle-sticks being classified as "drug paraphernalia," and are thus banned at schools, etc.
