Obscura
Obscura is a widely used though prohibited narcotic in the Imperium.[Needs Citation]
Overview
It produces a pleasant dream-like state which lasts a few hours, but then turns into a deep depression once it wears off unless another dose is taken.[1] It is highly addictive and has been known to be smoked and injected directly into the bloodstream.[Needs Citation]
It is found amongst all classes of civilians and military personal in the Imperium and many smugglers make a good living by importing and selling the illegal substance.[1] It is found amongst the middle- and upper-class citizens of the Imperium, and is used frequently by the followers of Slaanesh in ritualistic activities. Obscura-den's are fairly common in heavily populated areas within Hives, and are notorious for being a frequented area by the less-desirables found in every hive.[Needs Citation]
