Suggestion: Add Ephedrine to the Hypospray whitelist - Panga Langa - 10-18-2022

Ephedrine is a nice healing chemical that is often very underused by the medical staff, as it's not readily available or easy to make compared to it's peers, and it's also not accepted by the Hypospray despite it's benefits.

So to encourage the medical staff to use a more varied array of healing chems, I think it would be a good idea to add Ephedrine to the Hypospray whitelist.

It is a weaker Epinephrine that you can get addicted on. Addiction of any kind is already annoying to deal with the puke.

Isn't meth still hypospray whitelisted?

IMO ephedrine is really good and I'd be fine with it being in the hypospray list. When you're above crit, it's a much stronger version of saline glucose, and when you're below crit it's a more reliable epinephrine, but regardless of which it's a damn good healing chem.

Anyways, epinephrine and ephedrine fill a different niche.  Epinephrine tries to prevent you from getting worse, but it can only heal you out of crit if you're in OXY-crit.  Ephedrine aims to pull you out of shallow (and mid if you're lucky) crit, but in exchange it can't fix cardiac failure.

It's also a hell of a lot safer than meth which again really does not belong on the whitelist in goon these days.  Even disregarding meth it's not the only addictive chem on the whitelist, off-hand perf is addictive.
