The drug that had washed through Sacramento relatively quickly last year is still on the market, in fact some people would consider it more than just simply "tolerated" by the state but actively "allowed", specifically as the War on Drugs isn't directly targeting it for one reason or another.
But like many drugs even the addictive qualities can sometimes be changed, especially if 'new flavors' hit the market.
The most recent addition to the "Shoot or snort" drug are tabs that people at clubs just slip under their tongue and go for a ride. Downside is that, although it's apparently the high of your life, it's addicting as hell.
It comes in ten colors the most popular being: White, Blue, Pink, and Purple.
Of course, such a thing calls for some level of investigation, and the characters find themselves in a college bar somewhere near SacState, but on the Sacramento side of the American River.
Finding the drugs won't be hard, feel free to roll your Spells, any spells that aren't cast onsite need to have duration factors added into them. Any other opening rolls you intend to make, feel free to do those as well.
