"'Headaches, pain of the spirit, hallucination...' all pretty common, actually. Oh! 'Increased exocognitive perception: This is a theoretical symptom that might be caused by major, irrevocable damage to one's cognitive and spiritual aspects.

I'm sure that if that chemical had medicinal properties that would have been helpful to me, the doctors would have already administered it, anyways.
