Here's another aspect of drugs in T2K:

Even back when I was in the Army, there was a lot of use of what we called "Go Pills" -- stimulants such as Provigil (normally prescribed for narcoleptics or those taking very sedating drug combinations), as well as liberal amounts of caffeine. We even used those in peacetime to keep going and stay alert during long ops where we would be awake almost the entire time. Provigil is a good go pill; it produces no jitteriness and washes out of your system quickly when the dose is over. Caffeine -- well, the side effects are well-known and while they are not the best thing to keep awake, but better than nothing.

And of course there are uppers...

Imagine a black market in Provigil in T2K?
