In "Sliders Special #1: Narcotica," the Sliders crash-land into a reality where drug use is not only legal but government-mandated. They arrive in a San Francisco where vendors offer hallucinogenic mushrooms on hot dogs and cotton candy is laced with addictive substances. The group quickly discovers that an alternate version of Professor Arturo was a drug protest leader who was allegedly assassinated. Now, the Sliders must navigate a world where the FDA is headed by Wade Wells, who is enforcing drug consumption laws. They encounter a resistance movement led by Timothy Leary, and face a choice: help this world fight its oppression or focus on escaping before Rembrandt is forcibly drugged at the Toxification Center.
