History & Background (Dossier)
For Humans, and Vargr, it is one of the most potent addictive drugs known.
- A 10-gram dose, taken by chewing the leaves, gives the user a powerful sense of euphoria and giddiness 8 to 14 hours.
- The drug interferes with the judgment, cognitive abilities, and reaction time of the user.
- The drug is physically addicting, with the withdrawal symptoms and cravings suddenly emerging days or weeks after the last consumption.
Highleaf is illegal on most worlds in the Third Imperium, and usually unobtainable.
- In the Two Thousand Worlds, !!xug'k is perfectly legal, not particularly expensive (Cr25 to Cr50 per kilogram), and easy to obtain.
- Human and Vargr smugglers often slip into K'kree space to import the drug.
