Blackpowder. But there is also modern smokeless powders that is also called gunpowder. It's nitrocellulose, sometime nitroglycerine or nitroguanidine and a few stabilizers and fillers.
Pretty good series, pretty sure the author's an "acolyte" of Brandon Sanderson, so if anyone reading this likes the Cosmere you might like this series as well.
Been on my "reread" list for a while but the list keeps growing...
Kill me quick or whatever it's called that Obama's step or half bro or whatever was talking about during a documentary. It's cocaine mixed with gunpowder because gunpowder is apparently a readily available and cheap/free vasodilator. Apparently it makes the cocaine kick slightly more or faster

The constituent parts of gunpowder are sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. None of these chemicals are psychoactive in humans.

Gorn.
Only way to get rid of it is to build a makeshift cannon out of some random stuff you find laying around.

apparently ww1 era british soldiers figured out that cordite works like amyl but shittier (more specifically, nitroglycerin part) https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/abaf/009c8713aadd8accbb03b2b40a93b5c3c77a.pdf

Things don't need to be psychoactive to be addictive. 🤦♂️

Hooked on phonics?

And in the early days they obtained the potassium nitrate by boiling shit. Might be the opposite of addictive.

You like reading fantasy? I have a feeling you'd enjoy Powder Mage by Brian McClellan.
Main Character gets his magical powers by snorting gunpowder.

I thought the main character was a chick, but I could be forgetting.

No. But who needs chemical addiction when you can be addicted to the feeling of power over life and death it provides?
