Hello,

Don't have Ghost Cartels, but have read the little write-up of Tempo in Seattle 2072. Just wondering, how is the drug actually taken? It's a powder, so is it most commonly snorted, smoked, baked into brownies?

I'm getting ready to start a campaign starting after the Tempo wars, so I don't picture it figuring too much, but it's the kind of question my players will ask.

Thanks in advance lovely peoples.

All drugs in Shadowrun are available in whatever vector you want to take them. You can inject them, snort them, lick the dots of the paper, use a slap patch, smoke them, use an inhaler, swallow them, etc. Really, it just depends on the character's preference.

That said, most references I've seen regarded tempo involved it being taken through slap patches (think of a nicotine patch except it contains a tempo/dmso cocktail to release the drug into the user's system).

Are you eating it, or is it eating you?

Use as eye drops is another possible use vector that most folks don't think of.
