Give me some ideas for fantasy drugs that could rule the streets of a large kingdom. A mix of benign and highly destructive drugs, shit for both commoners and nobility alike.

Had a setting once where people would burn old magical scrolls with alchemical herbs and snort the ashes. They got vivid hallucinations, glimpses into the past and future, and got to roll on the wild magic table. Good times.

>Fairy dust (commoner drug)
off-white sparkling powder made from crushed fairy wings, ground to dust, and mixed with dwarven blackpowder and sugar
Administerd by:
Snorting, eating, breathing it in
Effects:
Increased body temperature, sweating, feeling of euphoria, widened pupils, mild visual hallucinations including vibrant colours and loss of depth perception, mild auditory hallucinations including muffled high-pitched buzzing sounds and echo. Prolonged use risks include heart failure, loss of hearing and sight, and hormonal imbalance.
>Midnight Lotus (nobility)
Deep blue leaves ground and treated like tobacco by gnome artificiers and mixed with dried skin of various poisoned berries for taste by various nobilities.
Administerd by:
smoking
Effects:
Extremely potent feeling of superiority, calmness and clarity of mind, slight shaking of limbs, and loss of warmth in skin colour, increased magic affinity and sometimes fleeting visions of great events, some which happened, are yet to happen, or are just wishes and dreams.

Moonglow tea: Brewed from a plant with emerald leaves and white flowers. Used medicinally in small doses to calm nerves and in large doses as a painkiller for the ill-trained barber-surgeons who practice their craft on the society, this drug deadens pain receptors and causes disassociation and a trance-like state.
Prolonged use of the drug renders one vulnerable to ghostly possession.
Think necromantic ketamine.

Glow shrooms.
Glowing mushrooms that are mildly hallucinogenic and narcotic. Prolonged use makes users eyes and bodily fluids glow.
