			The [[StarCitizen:UEE]] has described WiDoW use as one of the most significant public health issues of the [[StarCitizen:30th Century]], and has directed billions of [[StarCitizen:UEC]] toward information campaigns, rehabilitation facilities, and addiction counseling. Despite this spending, fatality rates among users have not measurably fallen.<ref name="galactapedia">{{Cite RSI\|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RX3en1jpOK-widow\|text=Galactapedia: WiDoW\|accessdate=2026-06-01}}</ref>

			The [[StarCitizen:Advocacy]] runs frequent crackdowns on known manufacturers and offers rewards for information leading to dealers. It also arrests users, a practice that substance abuse counselors and social workers argue worsens their situation and discourages them from seeking help. Activists contend that legalization would be the most effective way to reduce the drug's harm and support recovery, though the position holds little political backing.<ref name="galactapedia" />

Following the discovery of the [[StarCitizen:Osoians]], the most advanced developing species the [[StarCitizen:UEE]] had then encountered, Oso II was placed under the protection of the [[StarCitizen:Fair Chance Act]]. Before that protection took effect, a survey team managed to gather several unique native plants. One such plant was given the name "[[StarCitizen:nightspiral]]" due to vibrant multi-colored swirls on its dark petals.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="galactapedia" />

	After several unsuccessful attempts at propagating "[[StarCitizen:~~nightpsiral~~]]" scientists began grafting it with other plants at which point it was discovered that a varient produced seeds containing alkaloids.

	By 2867 rumors of a new injectable opioid called "[[StarCitizen:NightNight]]" were spreading throughout the verse. Originally thought to be non-addictive, this belief would turn out to be patently false with most early users avoiding the addictive effects due to its limited and exclusive availability.<ref name=":0" />		By 2867 rumors of a new injectable opioid called "[[StarCitizen:NightNight]]" were spreading throughout the verse.

	Demand for "[[StarCitizen:NightNight]]" was high, yet due to limitations in the procurement method, production of the highly sought after drug was slow.

== Production ==
The production process can easily be replicated by anyone from multi-system criminal syndicates to inviduals. Potency can vary greatly depending on factors such as quality of ingredients, cleanliness of equipment and temperateture fluctuations during processing. The WiDoW found today is completely synthetic, however it has an organic origin that gave it it's initial image as a relativly safe and very exclusive designer drug.<ref name=":0" />
