The hell with the hormones used on animals! Just think what tailored and
crafted hormones could be for people!

There are the obvious steroids and "performance" drugs for athletes and
wannabe athletes, which would comprise the bulk of the trade, I think.

But there could also be combat drugs designed from hormones...or good
old-fashioned "feel good" drugs with far less negative (physical)
side-affects...and we aren't just limited to the hormones we have now...there
would almost have to be hormonal variants, possibly even new hormones
(although not likely) that could be taken from Awakened critters.

In other words, hormones could, concievably, replace the standard chemical
drugs we currently have.

IDEA! Hey Gurth, maybe, in addition to generate a catalogue of these
nasties, and discussing their trade, we could include an adventure which
would introduce these new nasties into any campaign.

I think I could help with the hormone list, but I don't write the best
adventures...

in shadowrn somebody wants to heal stun: well, shoot some of this and you'll
feel a whole lot better. but recon with the addiction, and the strange things
your body starts doing afterwards... :)

I believe I'm capable of writing up a nice adventure on this. Just don't give me
deadlines. I hate deadlines. I'm afraid of deadlines. I do not like deadlines. I
do not function in the vicinity of deadlines. etc...

I can only try. My job takes a lot of time, and roleplaying still comes first.
