What do you all think the real world counterparts of the chems are in this game? i think - Jet = meth, buffout = steroids, psycho = heroine, mentats = ecstacy, stimpaks = morphine/painkillers, med-x = morphine/painkillers.

stimpacks=stem cell serum

Ecstasy makes you a gibbering idiot who's too enthusiastic about everything, not hyper-intelligent. Constantine Chase helped develop Psycho, so it's safe to say it's not heroine. And Jet is made from cow poo.

With the exception of Med-X, the chems are just random science-fictiony drugs.

Doctors IRL should try to get some Hydra.
But... That might just mean that they'll lose their jobs.

Jet is a methamphetamine.

Comparisons with real world illegal substances are not a topic for these forums.
