Mentats

Mentats are a brand of nootropic chems manufactured by MedTek prior to the Great War. The chalky red pills were a popular recreational drug, favored by consumers for their effect on creativity. The active ingredient is a powerful nootropic that increases memory related functions, and speeds other mental processes. Excessive consumption could also result in health complications, including recurring migraines from withdrawal and even debilitating neurological disorders.
