Dylar is a fictional psychoactive drug that appears in Don DeLillo's novel White Noise and is intended to remove the fear of death. However, the drug does not work properly and extended use sometimes results in insanity. Extended users interpret spoken words and metaphor as actual actions and events. In an instance presented in the novel, the spoken phrase "hail of bullets" causes a Dylar-using character to panic, drop to the floor and crawl to shelter.

That'd be pretty crazy. I can just see me shouting "Riot of hot chicks!"
sobriquet Reviewed by sobriquet on . Fictional Drugs Ok, I admit it. I'm a wikipedia junkie. I spend hours on there. Always something interesting, like this. It's a fairly extensive list of fictional medicines and drugs from book and film, along with source and effect if available. Cheers! Rating: 5
