Invented Movie Drugs

Okay, I was thinking about this, due to some news story about (I think) crystal meth and the problems some communities are having with it. Some movies invent drugs, whether to give the protagonist a cause to fight against (or a lure to resist) or to establish a decaying society. Goal for this thread: catalog them.

What I can think of, off the top of my head:

Nuke - "Robocop III"
Mist - "Prayer of the Rollerboys"
Supercrack - "Frankenhooker"
Mugwump Juice - "Naked Lunch"

How about :

"The Stuff" in the The Stuff ,i think it would qualify because of its addictive nature and harmful qualities.

Naw, all yogurt is like that. I regularly have to immolate the inside of our refrigerator due to out of control active cultures. Guess that we were lucky the cat was the first one to run afoul of the stuff.

How about Dr. Jekyll's serum that turned him into Mr. Hyde?

And wasn't there another movie about a drug people got hooked on that turned them into monsters?

Monocaine(Duocaine in the sequels) in the INVISABLE MAN(1933).
That weird glow in the dark stuff in RE-ANIMATOR.
Didn't Mighty Mouse take some kinda pill? Or was that Under Dog?
