With all the drugs in the game, would it be possible to make one able to impact the bust chance percentage? As an active buster working for a 10* Law Firm, I can see my chances of success and since I actively bust, they're pretty solidly against me the vast majority of the time. Most days within a few busts I'm unable to bust out even a level 2 in for a pickpocket crime. Another possible alternative would be something similar to drug rehab where you travel overseas, perhaps to Argentina or someplace similar, and purchase a new identity to clear the timer completely. With the "rehab" type option it'd be inconvenient for casual busters or ones just trying to get the quick merits or self busting dex benefits while aiding regular busters quite a lot. Thanks for the consideration.

That's 10 stars, not 7...
Another take on this might be to drug the guards rather than yourself. The effect would be the same but it would make more sense. Think of it like giving hot chocolate to the guards in the Escapists for example. Slip a little something into a guard's coffee and it'll be easier to get folks out for a brief period of time.
The thrill is gone....I use to love busting, now it's an exercise in futility....Busting was one of the things that kept me playing....being able to bust your friends....I knew it was hurting me battle stat wise when it cost E to bust....little did I realize it was increasing my crime experience exponentially. I just knew it helped me get my lost Nerve bar from drug running and FBI hacking the two crimes that took my 45 NNB away the most.....add showroom and you have my 3rd most NB damaging crime I use to do............
I use to be proud that I could bust...often had people mail me for a bust when they needed one....those mails do not come anymore. I think Kushial has a good idea....something to make busting fun again...make the drug expensive enough to add to the price of SLAG from it's sale to compensate for lost bail fees....Owning SLAG sucks too.....trading that stock has been a cash drain for me as well.
Make this an integral part of the game again....as it is it sucks.
