[Ashen]: "Outta curiosity, what's the 'Frog's Croak'?"
Freddy looked down at the smaller poison type and frowned. The topic of Frog's Croak was a sore point for him. Especially due to having a personal connection to the matter.
"Frog's Coak is a variant of meth that has a similar origin. But it has a few more extra details," the toxicroak took out a pack of cigarettes. Taking one from the pack he put it into his mouth and lit it.
"It started as a painkiller exclusively for poison types called Poi-Clear. Since most painkillers or healing agents at the time could not work on poison types there existed a need for something like this," taking a drag from his cigarette, he swallowed the smoke, going down with a gulp. This would be insane for any other type of being, but Freddy was built different. "It was made from a compound of stem cells pulled from zangoose that have toxic boost, some spores taken from a poison heal breloom and a tail of a gliscor with poison heal. Naturally during the initial trials it was fine but they needed an extra boost to help null any pain."
Another drag, this time the merc let the smoke linger in his mouth, showing he did not express discomfort with the smoke lingering in his mouth. "A poison type with a very potent venom decided to donate some of their toxic to add it to the mix and it became an extremely effective pain killer and could even give poison types the ability to regenerate.”
The cigarette was down to the butt now, which he let drop to his feet and he stepped on it with his foot, which hurt mildly since he was barefoot but it was too late to take it back. He would have to down play this."However, the side effects came in a bit later down the road as they usually do. Poison type reported having trouble generating poison, some of whom have require the removal of poison sacks. A class action lawsuit came up and settlements were paid out and the drug was pulled, but it was too late. Drug dealers began to implement some of those ingredients into their own meth and that led to the drug as it is known now; Frog’s Croak.”
Tilting his head downward he looked somber. “To anyone that was not a poison type, the side effects are bad. It creates legions on the person’s skin that can slowly cause a decay on the skin that can eat through muscle and expose bone. It is an extreme meth that is addictive and has a high turn over for people who overdose or die from the decay.” The merc just sighed, turning his head towards the ceiling and sighed.
“A lot of people close to my orbit lost their lives to this. So I have more than a disdain for drugs as my motivation to destroy as many of those labs as I can.”
