- Pearl '' Various Books In The Bordertown Series '' Produces a 'glow' feeling, has hallucinogenic effects (mostly in light and color perception), causes euphoria, and interferes with perception of time, and one's own movement. Usually taken nasally, but it's implied that you can also inject it. Withdrawal is extremely unpleasant, and goes on for weeks, with symptoms including vomiting, cramps, seizures, shaking and headaches "as sharp as amps feeding back at full vollume.
- Shake '' Life On The Border '' New version of Pearl. Glittering pink and mauve flakes. Has Pearl's effects, (euphoria, hallucinations (light and color perception disturbed), altered sense of time and movement.) but also causes 'speedy little rushes' that feel similar to orgasm. Can be used pretty much any way you want, smoked, injected, eaten, snorted (like pearl), even taken in an enema. Described as "100% addictive" apparently a single use is enough to get hooked.
- Fairy dust '' Various Books In The Bordertown Series '' Both a cosmetic and a recreational drug, and the refined for of a substance by the same name used to make graffiti sparkle. Not very chemically addictive, but causes powerful psychological dependence in humans (although not in elves). Addicts are called "dust heads" and can be identified by the glittery aura around them, as well as by the fact that they walk into walls. Apparently hallucinogenic, users 'babble about faeries'. Cosmetically worn on the skin, or in hair, where it looks like glitter, and gives the faces of human wearers a 'vaguely elven' appearance. It can be snorted to get high, and whether it will get you high when used as makeup is debatable.
- River Water/Red Water '' Various Books In The Bordertown Series '' Water from the "Mad River" that flows out of elfland and through the middle of bordertown. It has no effect on Truebloods (elves), but for humans, it's a very powerful drug. Descriptions of the effects are vague, but apparently amazing, and intense. Physical addictiveness is up for debate, but it is so strongly psychologically addictive that most human user get hooked after only trying it once. It's a translucent bright red liquid, described as 'the color of cherry soda'. Addicts, called river rats, or simply 'rats' are regarded with disdain by most bordertown residents, and smell terrible, apparently an effect that river water has on the chemistry of human sweat.
- Dragon's Milk/Peca '' Various Bordertown Books '' Used only by Truebloods (elves), it doesn't produce a high in humans, although it does cause severe nausea and vomiting. While the specific effects are uncertain, the initial rush feels like the top of your head gets blown off (but in a good way?) and you only remember pieces of what happens while you're on it. You can drink it, or smear a concentrated form on open cuts, usually made on the wrists or arms.
- Goblin Fruit '''' Fruit that looks like small gold plums. Mildly hallucinogenic, and non addictive.
- Truly Magic Mushrooms '''' Most likely similar in effect to real world 'shrooms'. They grow wild in the 'Nevernever'a magical forest between bordertown and elfland. During autumn, when they are harvested, they can be eaten fresh, and they are used year round, dry, in tea.
- Passport '' Finder '' A mutagen that alters human DNA, designed to make them enough like Truelboods (elves) that they can cross the magical border between Bordertown and Elfland. Causes weight loss, increase in height, and elongation of the fingers. Unfortunately it will also kill those who use it, can cause weird deformities (like making half your fingers longer than the other half), doesn't actually work, and is the vector for a disease that kills truebloods.
