You would not believe the experience of getting information on this stuff.

First and most important: This stuff is most certainly not tied to Xenos. Judging from what I've seen on the Trade Lane monitors, Xenos have a vested interest in not letting it permeate the markets. I can sell the information related to the reason I theorize for that, but that comes at a hefty price. 1,000,000 for the rumor, 5,000,000 for the documented proof.

As for what Slog actually is, it seems to be a combination of refrigerants and solvents that are pretty common in factory maintenance, blended into an inhalant. I'd need an autopsy to prove it, but judging from some things I see on the suspected ingredients list, I'd say a primary function of it's high is just brain damage. So, maybe worry about the health effects a little.

It's origins are traced to Sprague BMM workers as per most sources, but I've heard a few that attribute it's first appearance to other BMM sites like Redcarr. Nonetheless, it's definitely not a Xenos concoction, though factory workers and other jobs in that tax bracket tend to spawn either nationalists or anarchists. Who specifically produces it is a question for tired, angry BMM wage slaves on Sprague, it seems. If you want to take that road, I wish you luck.
