The Germans are a little slow, I just pulled up the black box warning on the drug, severe mood changes are listed in addition to psychosis, hallucinations and cognitive impairment. Doesn’t sound like a fun high.

This drug is sent through the spinal cord therefore, goes directly into the brain. It must totally dull neurotransmitters.

"Scientists have analyzed the venom of the magician’s cone and one of its venom components was discovered to have a unique pharmacological activity by blocking a specific calcium channel (N-type). After this venom component was isolated and characterized in a laboratory, researchers realized that it had potential medical application. By blocking N-type calcium channels, the venom blocks channels that when open convey pain from nerve cells. If this is blocked, the brain cannot perceive these pain signals. "
