Copium

Copium is a gaseous drug similar to nitrous oxide and fentanyl. Upon inhalation, subjects may forget a particular event or lose their memories of the past few hours.

Copium isn't primarily for Patients, per se, but for civilians and non-Soysylum personnel, especially after an incident that we need to conceal. Copium being a gas makes it more versatile, because it can be used on both an individual basis or en masse, similar to tear gas. Additionally, copium grenades are also available to personnel, but have a limited use case.

Usage on Patients

Copium also has a calming effect, but it isn't recommended for patients due to the afforementioned amnesia-enducing effect. Exceptions can be made if this effect is desirable, or if Copium is used as the ultimate last resort treatment. Another reason Copium shouldn't be used for patients is because the effects become weaker after every subsequent dose, unless the dosage is increased or a stronger Grade Copium is used. This can only be offset if the patient doesn't take copium for 6 weeks, but utilizing such an interval on a patient's treatment regimen is ineffective.
