Rejuvenation Treatment- The more popular term is "anti age treatment" For the past 70 years, humanity has found a treatment to help and reverse the aging process at a genetic level. Anti age treatment is taken over the course of one Earth year with injections of the liquid into a person. Once the liquid is inside, it breaks down into a genetic form and effects the cells of a body. Once attached to a cell it gives off a signal to that cell's inner system to almost shut down. The cells in the body do not shut down, however they still provide regular requirements. But instead of aging it is frozen. First generation of users had to wait till they were in their 70's to use it and increased the life span to 120 years of age, and furthermore gave them back their youth by at least five years. Current treatment can begin to be taken at 39 or 40. Any eariler and it would have unknown effects on the body. The person who takes the drug will over the course of one year slowly reverse to their physical state of twenty. They will stay in their "20's" for forty years, the cycle continues on into their 30's and 40's. This treatment can now allow humans to live up to 130 years of age. Strict regulation of the drug is kept as to what the drug actually does only general effects are given, due to the scare of another showing up on the black market that may in fact kill people. This treatment is actually quite cheap and is used almost by everyone in the human colonies
Legal Drugs

Illegal Drugs
Xalur- Otherwise known by it's street name "Xal", Xalur is a exteremly intense hallucinogen that can last for one week without treatment. Xal was discovered on Mordia completly by accident with the local mineral known as Tui. Tui was found in the local fauna. When cooked it turns into a green yellowish liquid. Once in liquid form people inject themselves. Rarely on the arms and much more popular in the neck right where one of the large blood vessels is located. Once injected in a matter of three minutes the drug reaches the brain and releases chemicals. The subject will then fall into a state of seeing different things that are not there, hearing voices, raging from images of heaven to hearing sick voices. The drug however is lethal if taken more than one time in a month. If it is taken twice in one month the brain is over taken by the stimulation and the person eventually goes insane 48 hours later and dies. For this reason it is highly illegal.
