Nuke in Robocop 2 came in a rainbow of colors and flavors. 

The Trancer movies had the Trancer drug used as a super soldier serum around Trancers 3

Scanners had Ephemerol. 

If we include Dr Hyde's serum, the serums that turn Dr. Jeckyl into Ms. Hyde and Sister Hyde would need to be counted, too...

I'm smacking myself for missing Blue Dreamers, since I just wrote the review for that movie.  Of course, I often get help when I am typing.

Going to have to start categorizing these.  So far, it looks like mutagens and pleasure-inducing are the two type.  "The Stuff" is a bit different, as it actually takes over the person. 

More that came to mind (mutagens):

The vitamins created by Vimuville in Body Melt.
The serum from Full Eclipse.
Alien love juice (makes the girls go wild) from Dr. Alien.
The mushrooms from Matango.
From Wild Wild Planet you have the stuff that dissolves people.
Turn people into catfish with the junk used in Zaat.


Strange stuff:

Pattern from "LEXX: Eating Pattern"
Juice of Sapho from Dune.

What is the stuff served to Dale in Flash Gordon that would make her a willing love slave to Ming, if she drinks it?

I though everyone was hooked on spice in Dune?

There's also Plutonium Nyborg from Heavy Metal.  "Mmmm, good nyborg man".

LOL, just found that Wikedpedia has already calalogued a whole ton of them:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_drugs

     Not to pick nits, but Hunter S. Thompson always claimed that "Adrenochrome" was real --
     Read the short piece (Fiction?  Journalism?  Weird Tale?) "The Blood of A Wig" -- Adrenochrome was supposedly sucked from the hypothalmus of a person suffering from advanced schizophrenia.  This was supposed to induce visions and a world view as experienced by the schizophrenic, albeit briefly.
     Thompson made several passing allusions to "Wig Blood"(Adrenochrome) in many of his sports pieces, etc.
     While there is little evidence to support this -- not many people are as willing to ingest any damn thing at all, the way Dr. Thompson was -- there is also nothing that I know of dismissing the assertion as wholly fictional.
peter johnson/denny oh my god look at the bats!!!
I have no idea what this means.

I remember, that in "Class Of Nuke 'em High" was special type of weed. It was radioactive but I don't remember its name.
Also in "Vegas In Space" there were 'sex changing pills'. 

Right now I cremember only these two

Does William Shatner's 'Tek' count?

What about the "super meth" from Frankenhooker? Does that count?

I've never caught it, but believe it was a computer program that replicated the effects of a drug.  Is that correct?

I did mention supercrack in the first post.  Unless, in some release of the film it was referred to as "super meth" instead.

I never stayed awake long enough during that one episode I watched to know if that is the definition or not.

Actually, Tek was a lot like the memory replaying device in Strange Days

That's right! Now that I think about it, Jake was secretly using it to re-live memories of his life before he was framed.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
