'''Mood drugs''' were chemical-releasing [[cellophane]] [[chemical patch|patches]] used by the people of [[New Earth (New Earth)|New Earth]] | '''Mood drugs''' were chemical-releasing [[cellophane]] [[chemical patch|patches]] used by the people of [[New Earth (New Earth)|New Earth]] around [[5,000,000,000]]. | ||
Typically harmless, the patches that were available had many different effects: some, such as [[Happy (drug)|Happy]], [[Anger (drug)|Anger]], and [[Mellow (drug)|Mellow]], altered the user's [[emotion]]s, and others such as [[Sleep (drug)|Sleep]], [[Honesty (drug)|Honesty]], [[Read (drug)|Read]] and [[Forget (drug)|Forget]], altered the user's body and mind in other ways. It was possible that some, if not all, of the mood patches came in different degrees of strengths or duration up to at least forty-three. ([[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'') | |||
Mood patches did not work on the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') | |||
== The Doctor's | == History == | ||
The people of [[New Earth (New Earth)|New Earth]] used mood drugs from sometime before [[5,000,000,023]] until [[5,000,000,053]], typically in the [[New New York Undercity]], including [[Pharmacytown]]. One mood drug, however, [[Bliss (drug)|Bliss]], was only found in the upper levels of [[New New York]], where it became extremely addictive. Soon, an airborne [[virus]] mutated in it, which spread and killed the entire population of the upper levels within seven minutes, except the [[Face of Boe]] in his life-support tank and [[Hame|Novice Hame]], whom Boe surrounded with his smoke. The inhabitants of the Undercity and those in the Motorway survived, and with no one to feed on, the virus eventually starved to death and became extinct. | |||
After the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Martha Jones]] travelled to the Undercity, they came across the markets in Pharmacytown, where they learned of the drug from [[Pharmacist 1]], [[Pharmacist 2|2]], and [[Pharmacist 3|3]]. The Doctor attempted to stop [[pale woman (Gridlock)|a pale woman]] from using the Forget drug to forget [[Pale woman's parents (Gridlock)|her parents]] who travelled to [[the Motorway]], but he was unsuccessful. Shortly after, [[Milo (Gridlock)|Milo]] and [[Cheen]] used [[Sleep (drug)|Sleep]] to incapacitate Martha so they could kidnap her and use her to gain access to the [[Fast Lane]], as three people were needed. Later, after [[Novice]] [[Hame]] took the Doctor to [[New Earth Senate|the Senate]], she explained the destruction wrought by the Bliss drug. The Doctor was then able to free the people in the Motorway as there was now no longer any threat of a virus. ([[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'') | |||

The [[Twelfth Doctor]] kept mood patches aboard [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] stole what she thought was a Sleep patch from his supply and attempted to incapacitate the Doctor and blackmail him into saving her boyfriend, [[Danny Pink]]. The Doctor revealed that the mood patches did not work on him and that he had instead used the patch to put Clara in a dream-state.

In the real world, [[transdermal patch]]es have been used for the administration of [[medicine]] since the [[1970s]], first being used for [[motion sickness]], before expanding to [[birth control]], [[nicotine]] patches, and even [[caffeine]] patches, all of which act on [[mood]], just like the mood patches in [[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]''. | In the real world, [[transdermal patch]]es have been used for the administration of [[medicine]] since the [[1970s]], first being used for [[motion sickness]], before expanding to [[birth control]], [[nicotine]] patches, and even [[caffeine]] patches, all of which act on [[mood]], just like the mood patches in [[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]''. | ||
