Dreamdust

Dreamdust is a spice that produces vivid hallucinations.

History
Dreamdust is a naturally recurring rock found in deposits on the second moon of Zelos-4, more commonly known as the Smuggler's Moon. It's production is almost exclusivley controlled by Jasta the Hutt, the Helix Syndicate criminal gangster, who operates the small settlement on moon. Debtors and others in the bad graces of the criminal organization are often sent to the moon as punishment, to work in the mines.

When left in its natural state, dreamstone has no effects, but when chemically altered in a specific synthisization, it becomes a spice. Because this synthisization has only recently been discovered in the last few decades, dreamdust is still a fairly rare drug. It is mainly used on Zelos-4 itself and on Coruscant, where Jasta the Hutt's criminal associates in the Helix Syndicate are based.

Effects
Dreamdust is ground into a fine powder and snorted. The effects of the drug begin roughly twenty minutes after it is introduced into the body. The user's body feels light, and they feel feelings of relaxation and euphoria as the heady high begins. Perception of time slows and the user falls asleep. While sleeping, the spice produces a lucid dream of sorts. While the dreamer cannot completely control the hallucinations he or she experiences, the dreamer has a great deal of control over what they experience.

The effects generally last anywhere between two to six hours, but can last more or less depending on how much was consumed, the physical characteristics of the user, and how much of a tolerance the user has built up. Because of its psychological effects, dreamdust is extremely addictive.
