I have read the discussion about DMSO/LSD and have come to the conclusion
that someone (who knows a lot about drugs) designs a fast acting drug that
could be used in a fight.... It doesn't have to absorbed by the skin...It
could be inhaled....

Toss this around for a bit and see what settles out of it....

Most of the NeuroStuns are inhaled or through skin contact. Unless you
are trying to avoid some sort of specific toxic resistance, there is a wide
range of toxins already listed in the books.

Otherwise, if the players want something, have them search for someone to
make it, and have the DM assign effects.

If you want something kind of nasty, there is some drug (if you've seen
serpent & the rainbow (I think)) that does actually exist that will put
a person in a deathlike comatose state rather quickly, and keep them
there for a long time. Oh, and as a bonus, the people remain aware the
whole time. It's made in some culture (Jamician possibly) and the "secret"
to its production is still unknown (it hasn't been successfully synthesized).
