Last run ended up netting our group 500 doses of the drug Novacoke. Since we had to pay for them (We were assassinating the dealer and had hidden a bomb with the money) we'll lose nuyen if we simply try reselling. so apart from the obvious (Using them ourselves, inducing overdoses in others, doping people in their sleep so they go to the important meeting with charisma 1 willpower 1 and get fired so we can extract them for another corp, throwing an absolutely massive rave, keeping junkie contacts happy), what are some cunning ideas for us to make use of this stuff?

Combine it with DMSO and load splash grenades with it.

Keep it on hand. Pass it out at parties to blend in. Bribe gangers, bouncers, and party girls with it. Use it to get close to a mid-level drug dealer or fence that you need to kidnap or kill. Plant it on people you want to get into trouble with the law. Large quantities of hard drugs are always worth having lying around.

Plant it in an SINner enemy's property/vehicle. Call in a tip to your police connection. Profit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Find a magician you don't like too much who follows the Succubus mentor spirit. Offer them a hit.
Wait until they crash. Offer them another hit. Facing a threshold 2 test with a dice pool of two, they'll pretty much have to accept. Wait until they crash. Offer them another hit. Facing a threshold 2 test with a dice pool of two, they'll pretty much have to accept. ... Are they good and addicted to Novacoke? You now have a pet magician and/or someone you can string out for cash for as long as you've got that gigantic briefcase full of Colombian super-powder. |

Spike the entire lot into one of the sides of beef slated for Lofwyr's mid-afternoon snack. (He eats these like popcorn chicken chunks)
Not entirely certain what the end effect would be, but will be on a small mountain top nearby with telephoto lens on the camcorder to see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE what to do with 500 doses of Novacoke? If you are a runner, give it to some streetlevel connection in return for some favours, since the price is low but the sound of "5 pounds of novacoke" is pretty impressive. If you are a streetlevel guy just consume it, offer it to your guests and you will get a bunch of new friends! Or a hole in the head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE (CitM @ Nov 26 2013, 04:07 PM) "5 pounds of novacoke" Do the Rules have a statement of the amount of drug that count as a dose? If Novacoke is anything like nowadays coacaine and wikipedia is right, one dose measures from 35mg up to 100mg. Even when you double that (on a drug that is supposedly stronger) 500 doses just make 100 gram. link, under Insuffiation. Not that 500 doses isnt much for a normal, healthy person, but an addict could go through that in a rather short time. (No proof, only experience from working in a detox clinic) That was my problem with an idea I had: If you want to use it as a bait for the mob or a drug cartel, it simply isn't enough |

I'm with Tanegar and FuelDrop on this one - never know when you're gonna need to pull a Panther Moderns, so being set for some instant party is a good card to have in your deck.

My players' answer was 'watch the troll roll around in it like the biggest, ugliest kitten you've ever seen' last time they cracked a novacoke dealer's stash.
It took them six months to get their muscle to quit snorting every white powder he saw just in case. |

You guys are still in Japan, right? If SR-Japanese drug laws are still as strict as current laws I would load it onto an aerial drone, have it fly on autopilot into a congested pedestrian street/mall (especially if owned by a corp you want to discredit), have it spread over the pedestrians and call the media to film the aftermath.
Wait for the headlines to run amok |

If you're in CAS/UCAS/CalFree pick a corp you don't like (say Kong Walmart or Ares Target) dose the shopers on Black Friday and have the hacker brick all the electronics that're on sale. Instant riot.
