Adrenaline
The stress hormone adrenaline is harvested from tortured prisoners and used as an injectable recreational drug by the rich.
An injection of adrenalin is also the best way to reverse the effects of the sedative Somnidol.
In the real world, Adrenaline is used to treat severe allergic reactions and dangerous heart rhythms. Note that in the United States, Adrenaline is called Epinephrine when used medically; the rest of the world still calls it Adrenaline.

Chameleon
The drug was originally developed by Alchemax, who abandoned the drug feeling it was too unstable to be profitable. Dr. Winston Fong-Gomez, the scientist who developed the medication then left Alchemax and began dealing the drug on the streets.
It is sold in small breakable containers called "snapsules." They are called that because you snap them between your fingers to break open the container and the drug is then absorbed into the skin.
Chameleon is referred to as a "telemorphic hallucinogen" that allows users to change into different forms depending on their emotions. (I'm not sure why "telemorphic" is used here, as the term means having an effect at a distance, which does not describe the drug at all.)
Quote: "They say it makes your body pliable, sort of allows you to be physically become whatever you're feeling!"
If a person overdoses, they melt into a puddle of unstable goo.
