In the Blue Planet game, the Multiglands biological modification allows the user to secrete a number of different hormones and drugs into his system. However, the details of these effects are not described. Here is a brief list of some drugs that could be secreted, and their effects (as inspired by the Culture novels of Iain M Banks).
