Drugs

There are a variety of drugs which you are able to use in Torn City. Each drug gives you after effects for a duration of time. Then you are stuck with its after effects until the time limit is up. While there are rough guidelines for what each drug does, there is a randomness which causes their effects to vary.

The side effects include, but are not limited to:

- Overdoses are completely random, normally resulting in hospital time.

- Addiction, resulting in being kicked out of education and then later being unable to train without being high.

- Not having full use of one's battle stats when not high (some players have reported a 40 % drop in stats efficiency when not high).

Most people basically use only a few of the drugs available:

- Xanax: Best drug for training, this drug gives you 250 additional energy. It is, however, highly addictive.

- Ectasy: Doubles your happiness. Not too addictive.

- Vicodin: The war drug. Not very addictive, and highly appreciated by the warring factions as it reduces energy use while under it's influence. It's most useful effect is that it doubles your defense stats temporarily.

- Cannabis: What you use to train when you are broke and addicted, due to its low cost.
