Synthetic Cardamine

[Magoo!]

Cryer has spent the past few years in the Sigmas developing an artificial cardamine that will help break the outcast grip on sirius. But this entire subplot seems dead.

We need to introduce synthetic cardamine.

1. It will give civilians a lucrative item to trade
2. It will force the outcasts to intercept synthetic cardamine smugglers
3. It will totally change the Outcast RP dynamic
4. Some outcast members could "defect" if they wanted.


Its a good idea.

Um... People do realize, of course, that none of this would work? If its for kicks, its not addictive. If its not addictive, it wont feed an addiction to 'defect' Outcasts. If its not addictive, the Outcasts still have a business for their current 100 year old clients.

If it IS addictive (which can happen to any substance giving dopamine release), then its going to be illegal anyways. Sure, in theory you could make something that is identical to cardamine when it attaches to the receptors in the neuron, but then it would be fairly pointless for commercial use besides just keeping cardamine addicts alive. In effect, it would be Tretonin to a symbiote.

In short, if I'm hooked on heroin, clicking my heels and shooting up powdered sugar wont do anything.
