The Pasithea Powder
The Pasithea Powder is a monthly audio drama from Bad Wine Productions. It follows Captain Sophie Green on a faraway world as she recovers from a devastating war that destroyed her planet and left her personal relationships in ruins. The conflict introduced Pasithea Powder, a drug capable of altering memories, which has since been eradicated. Only a few scientists, now political prisoners, know how to recreate it. When Sophie spots one of those scientists free, she is forced to seek help from an estranged friend.
