The wide world of fictional drugs

Every so often, we see round-ups of fictional drugs that appear in popular culture, and two amusing round-ups crossed our path recently that are worth noting. Flavorwire presented "Amazed and Confused: The Best Fictional Drugs on TV," leading off with Teamocil from Arrested Development (“There’s no ‘I’ in ‘Teamocil’ — at least not where you’d think"). Meanwhile, Unreality (via Technoccult) presented "The Most Memorable Fictional Drugs in Movies and Television," leading off with Neuroin ("a gaseous heroin") from Minority Report. Some of the usual suspects are obviously on display (seems like you can't really have one of these lists without mentioning the spice from Dune), and Gleemonex from Brain Candy is curiously missing, but otherwise, these posts are a nice tour of the subject.

PKD wrote minority report, but yah, there's lots of stuff he wrote about that could be included.
Also, cheesing may not be entirely fictional;

But what came first here really, the South Park episode or the recreational use of cat urine, I'm not sure. But it does seem like people are trying it. A lot of the weird stuff on South Park is actually based on current events or recent developments.

Too bad this is limited to movies and TV; I think the best drugs are probably found in Si-Fi novels (almost anything by PKD, fer instance....)

Nuke is listed in the Unreality piece.

What about Nuke from Robocop?
