Oh god no
We can't put super strength in crack.  That makes no sense and we're wasting money! We need to make separate super strength potions and drugs. I propose this:
Titan: Addictive drug: 1 Devil Berry, 1 Colour Leaf
Colossus: Super strength potion: 2 Forest King

I think we should try some of armok's recipe, just for having lots of hallucinogenics in it. Having the entire town tripped on hallucinogens seems funnier to me than having them addicted to what is essentially a health potion.
Also, sell the rainbow potion as a love potion. That will be hilarious.
Sell the rainbow potion as a spiritual catalyst, yeah.

Ah but without the Super boost why try it in the first place, even crack gives you a buzz* at first.

*Or what ever crack does.

Crack doesn't give a physical strength boost.
Plus, weed is hallucinogenic*, and one of the most popular drugs out there. No need to waste such a useful mushroom on a drug. Plus, hallucinogens whittle away at the mind, and weaker-minded people are easier to control.
*It's also a stimulant and depressant, I believe.

Sell the villagers the addictive potions and keep the super strength mushrooms for yourself.

Yeah. In case the rival apothecaries send goombas, we'll be safe from their contact poison with the super-strength mushrooms.

So change the Titan formula to something else, now that we have people addicted?
Maybe just give them devil berries and sweet leaf as a placebo.

You loot his body for 48 gp, a monocle, and a some colour leaves before dumping him in the woods.

Have your assistant go off into the woods to look for sweet leaves. In the meantime, look for devil berries.
We really need both.

We are a terrible person. :(

Have Assistant change garden to 3 Devil Berries, 1 Colour Leaf, 1 Forest King
Brew as many Titans as possible
Have Assistant sell Titans

Also, could I request a name change from Titan to Titan++, and Titan Placebo to Titan? What's now called the placebo is really Titan as I imagined it...

I think a small bit of color leaf should be thrown in to the Titan placebo (let's call that regular Titan) to whittle away at the minds of customers. They will soon be unable to do well-paying work, and so we can make them be slaves in exchange for their daily dose of Titan.

How about Titan Placebo be called 'Titan Essence'? And keep Titan as Titan.

Okay, can we have this?
Titan: 1 DevB, 1 ColL
Titan Essence: 1 DevB, 1 SweL
Titan++: 1 DevB, 1 SweL, 1BluR, 2 ForK

I know it's kind of silly, but I really liked having Titan this sort of awesome drug, and I feel like it's my... right? to name it. Of course, ein can do whatever he likes, but...

Titan: 1 Devil Berry, 1 Color Leaf
Colossus: 1 Devil Berry, 1 Sweet Leaf, 1 Forest King
Atlas: 1 Devil Berry, 1 Sweet Leaf, 1 Blue Root, 2 Forest King

Also, search through herbalist's book, looking for a plant that causes victims users to become enraged.

Cheddarius did make it, I think he should get to name it and it's derivatives.

Vote for Feratha Cheddarius!
