The following drugs were created using Ocelot's Drug Lab. There may be inconsistencies with the written text. For the most part, this shouldn't cause a problem, since each drug is broken down to show exactly what it will do, and how the point and monetary costs were reached. It shouldn't be too hard to re-engineer them using the standard CP2020 rules, if you so desire.

The Medical Stabilization Agent, or "Meestag" (as it's known in MilSpeak) is a military drug used to treat victims of heavy trauma. While the cost is prohibitive for people on the street, it is one of the best drugs to use in the treatment and first aid of large wounds involving massive tissue and blood loss. Meestag stops blood loss, protects against infection, and stops all pain, which the user perceives as an irritating itching near the areas of his wounds. The subject will be unable to sleep both before and after the drug wears off, and the eyes tend to become sensitive to bright lights. Some subjects have been known to become delusional, imagining large insects and maggots wriggling through their wounds, causing the itchy sensation. Meestag comes in a bright green disposable auto-injector.

Love Potion #9, also known as LP9, is used as a tool by assassins, prostitutes, and anyone who wants someone completely helpless and unable to resist. The drug, when introduced into the victim's food or drink, gives them a "hot", "turned-on" feeling. Their resistance to seduction checks is lowered, and this, in addition to being incredibly horny, makes them an easy mark. Once the drug has worn off, however, it induces a warm, sleepy feeling. The victim will usually fall into a deep slumber, allowing the assassin or prostitute free reign to do what they please. LP9 comes in a clear, odorless liquid that has a slightly bitter taste. The taste isn't distinguishable when mixed with alcoholic drinks.

Taz, named after the "Tasmanian Devil" of Bugs Bunny fame, is a blue, crystalline powder which is snorted, or freebased and injected. It makes its users fast, strong, and unafraid. When the drug wears off, however, the user's nervous system is left in a shambles, and even the smallest of discomforts becomes agony. Taz users have been known to tear entire buildings apart, and survive multiple gunshot wounds.

Rezzin is a tarry, synthetic substitute for marijuana and hashish. It usually comes as a thick, sticky, tarry substance wrapped in aluminum foil or saran wrap. The drug is typically rolled into little pea-sized balls and smoked in a water pipe. Contrary to the popular myth on the street, the drug is psychologically addictive, and causes a lack of concentration as well as an insatiable hunger. Due to its cheap price and availability, rez is one of the most popular drugs on the street.

Zap-38 is one of the first "genetically engineered" drugs, in that it was specifically designed, one gene at a time, from the ground up. Using massive parallel processing, and the full human genome as a reference base, the organic chemists of Farmacutico Asociado, a Mexican drug manufacturer, have designed the first recreational drug "from scratch". Zap-38 is specifically designed to temporarily suppress all long-term memory in the user, and inhibit short-term memory such that the individual taking the drug will remember nothing for more than fifteen minutes. While under the influence of Zap-38, the world is a constant wonder of people, places, and things never before experienced by the user. A sense of mild euphoria and childlike wonder suffuse the user, until the drug wears off.
