WiDoW

WiDoW is a thick ink-black synthetic opioid that is injected as a liquid. It has spread like wildfire throughout the Empire thanks to the fact that it's relatively easy to produce. This also creates a wide variety of quality between batches of the drug.

Designed to be injected as a liquid directly into the bloodstream, the name derived from one of the main side effects from extensive use, the drug stains the veins black, creating web-like subcutaneous patterns through the body.

Effects
WiDoW causes extreme feelings of euphoria next to working as a pain and anxiety relief. It is highly additive and damaging to the human body, where repeated use can eventually lead to black marking of the veins, collapsed veins, various liver and kidney diseases, heart conditions and more.

Production
The production process can easily be replicated by anyone from mulit-system criminal syndicates to inviduals. Potency can vary greatly depending on factors such as quality of ingredients, cleanliness of equipment and temperateture fluctuations during processing. The WiDoW found today is completely synthetic, however it has an organic origin that gave it it's initial image as a relativly safe and very exclusive designer drug.

Legality
WiDoW is considered a Class A controlled substance across the UEE. Trafficking carries a 10,000 UEC fine, while possession will set you back 4,000 UEC.
