===Drugs===
*[[Obscura]] - A widely used though prohibited drug in the Imperium. 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.{{Fn|1}} It is highly addictive and has been known to be smoked and injected directly into the bloodstream.
*[[Lho-stick]] - A a popular Imperial narcotic, much like a cigarette, made of a rolled paper tube containing a scented plant-derived substance. The tube is lit and the resultant smoke inhaled through it, causing a mildly narcotic sensation. Lho-sticks are addictive and are common amongst the Imperial Guard and menial workers.{{Fn|1}}
*[[Flect]]s - First truly noticed by the [[Inquisitor]] [[Gideon Ravenor]]. They are discovered to be psycho-active pieces of glass retrieved from Imperium patrolled and forbidden space. Flects are the pieces of window glass blown out from the devastated hives in [[Lucky Space]], located near the [[Scarus Sector]] of [[Segmentum Obscurus]]. The pieces of hive glass had been exposed to the powers of a [[warp storm]] for several centuries. The name flects, is a word-play on "reflection" (coined by the low-stackers of [[Petropolis]]), in reference to the fact that when one looks into the piece of glass they see a "reflection" of the Warp. Sometimes it is a positive experience, other times it is not. Flects have been documented as being able to drive a human being insane, and are known to give a sense of euphoria upon gazing into its surface. They are undoubtedly [[Chaos]]-tainted. Notable users include [[Carl Thonius]], Gideon Ravenor's [[Interrogator]].
*[[Gladstones]] - Rocks that are slightly psyk-reactive. They can be held in the users palm of either hand, or held under the tongue. They have been documented to provide a sense of well-being (described as a warm, blissful sensation) and sublime for days, possibly weeks on a single use. However, as they alter the users state of mind, the Imperium has deemed them illegal. They are usually a pale stone (commonly yellowish in color), of small form, smooth sided, rounded and warm to the touch. They are mined on distant outworlds and are found to be extremely popular in twist clubs and lounges.
