Glitter

Glitter is a powerful hallucinogenic found on Greyhawke.  It is a glittery crystal you snort. It is processed from underdark fungi.  Eating the parent fungi is a mild euphoric, if you don't throw it right back up.  It is not a food item.  Processed differently it is a common purgative in underdark medicine.
Users are not competent to walk during use. Smart ones lock themselves in a room with no hazards.  Glitter causes habitual uses to see the normal world as dull.  Ambition and drive go out the window as you go back for that next high.  Habitual Glitter use is not physically addicting, but users become psychologically dependent on the high.  Glitter causes dementia with long term use, death if you use too much.
Society looks down on habitual Glitter users as useless.  They are doing only what they must to get the next high.  
Withdrawal from Glitter usually causes depression.  You are not getting the high anymore.  It requires counseling, sometimes a heal spell to break the cycle of use.
