Name: Grave Dust or Sparkle
Substance: Drug
How to Consume: Can be snorted or taken, in pill form, orally.
Description/Effects: Primarily for use in humans, though other species are known to metabolize the powder the same way. Described by many as a mix between a muscle relaxant and an antidepressant.
Relatively inexpensive and available across many solar systems, it's not uncommon. Popular in deprived communities due to its mood-lifting effects.
Short-term (or one-time) use does not tend to have lasting effects. Prolonged exposure and use can lead to many physical changes -- most obviously, the odd (even multi-colored) eyes that cannot go away without cybernetic or organic replacements. Having Grave Dust in one's system will also make their perspiration illuminate under UV light, and the pure product will do the same.
History/Culture: It is against Federation law to carry, be under the influence of, or sell Grave Dust within the allied planets. Doing so gets someone a quick trip to one of the penal colonies.
Though its true origins are unknown, it is said that it was once a leaf, chewed by early explorers of the planet Earth 446 for its medicinal properties and its ability to eliminate pain. It wasn’t for many thousands of years that it was turned into a profitable drug. They found a way to extract the powdered form of Grave Dust and quickly began marketing it as a cure-all for most people’s ailments. Not long after, it was discovered that its addictive properties significantly outweighed the benefits of either form and the Galaxy Federation put a stop to its trade, labeling it as illegal. To this day, there are warring “families” that still compete in the trade, though there are whispers that it all comes from the same source -- or maybe, even, the same person.
