A seasoned drug taker does not just suddenly just take 'a few' and OD and go to hosp for 3 days. An OD is not a random thing - especially with industry created pharmaceuticals. It's a standard dose.
Without rehab, you should need more to get the effect.. like real life. You take one, if it doesn't have the desired effect, then you have an option to take more to get it.
If you chase it too far, then you OD. If you rehab or abstain, your tolerance should go down so you require less.
There is a fine line to walk between drug use and abuse, and this game belittles it by simply randomizing and slapping a price tag on it.

So your suggesting that drug use cost more by either we have to rehab more or take more to get the 250E from a Xanax? Are you out of your f**king mind?
This is a GAME you know its not suppose to be a real life experience. After all we can't take a bit of morphine and be totally healed after being shot with a minigun in real life now can we. Why should drugs be treated like real life when everything else in the game is not. We come here for entertainment not a real life experience. If I want that I can go outside. Rated -
The drug effects is not even accurate to real life. Xanax should drain your energy rather then give you energy, perhaps give some happy. Cocain is probably the best candidate for gaining energy, but I've never really used any drugs myself so...
Exactly. Xanax is a tranquilizer that functions similar to Barbiturates and Alcohol, which have sedative affects. Vicodin is a narcotic with similar affects, except they block out pain and make you feel relaxed. Yet in the game, it somehow improves physical performance.
I think the logic here is that you feel well rested, therefore you get more energy. Same thing with melatonin. If this was real life, melatonin would slow you down, but the after effects would speed you up.
This is a really good idea, it makes a lot of sense to be implemented and that reason I have rated plus.
But I don' think it could ever be implemented because there is so many players in this game who would complain about the game being harder and just complain about old players who have had it easy.
Personally I would be fairly pissed of if it was brought in I am finding it hard to keep up with xanax costs as it is!
