			'''Introduction:''' As undead, vampires have little fear of conventional
			poisons. However, they may succumb to poisons or
			drugs contained within the bloodstream of their victims.
			Indeed, certain vampires actively seek out victims
			under the influence of alcohol or drugs to receive
			a vicarious buzz.

			Following are some examples of what might happen
			if a vampire were to drink the blood of a poisoned or
			drugged victim. A vampire with low Willpower (4 or
			less) and/or an appropriate Nature (Bon Vivant, Child)
			might risk addiction to a certain substance, but this is
			unlikely. In general, the effects of most drugs on vampires
			are far less than their effects on humans.

			• Alcohol: The vampire subtracts one from Dexterity
			and Intelligence dice pools for every two drinks’
			worth of alcohol in his victims’ blood. This effect fades
			at the rate of one die per hour, as the alcohol purges
			itself from the bloodstream.

			• Cocaine/meth/speed: Vampires with the Celerity
			Discipline gain an extra level of the Discipline for (10
			minus Stamina) minutes after drinking. Difficulties to
			resist or control frenzy are increased by one.

			• Hallucinogens: The vampire lowers all dice pools
			by one to three (inability to concentrate). He suffers
			effects similar to the Level Two Dementation power
			The Haunting. Depending on the precise nature of the
			“trip,” he may gain extra dice in one particular Ability
			(such as Awareness) or find his Auspex Discipline
			raised by a dot or more. The effects last for (8 minus
			Stamina) hours.

			• Heroin/morphine/barbiturates: The vampire subtracts
			two from Dexterity and all Ability dice pools for
			(10 minus Stamina) minutes, and experiences a dreamlike
			state for (12 minus Stamina) hours. Difficulties of
			frenzy rolls are decreased by one.

			• Marijuana: The vampire experiences a slightly altered
			perception of time, as well as a one-die reduction
			to Perception dice pools. Difficulties of frenzy rolls are
			decreased by one, due to the calming effect of the drug.
			The effects last for about half an hour.

			• Poison: The vampire subtracts one from all dice
			pools and takes from one to three levels of lethal damage
			per scene or even turn, depending on the intensity
			of the poison. Few poisons have any real effect on the
			undead, and most inflict a fixed maximum amount of
			damage before wearing off. The vampire may purge the
			blood at his normal expenditure rate, and the effects
			heal automatically within minutes to hours after purging
			the blood.

			• Salmonella (food poisoning): The vampire becomes
			nauseated, unable to consume more blood (roll
			Stamina, difficulty 6, to overcome), and suffers one
			health level of bashing damage. The effects last about
			a day.
