Marquessen's Datura
The most important drug of the twenty-first century, and (some would argue) the most important drug since penicillin.
Torzone prevents (and in many cases, cures) cancer and pre-cancerous growth by stimulating the human body's immune system to enter a state of increased activity. Though many theories have been advanced, the exact vector by which the drug operates remains unknown.
When first introduced in 2010, Torzone was portrayed in the popular media as the vindication of twentieth-century search for life-saving pharmaceuticals among the flora of the endangered rain forests, and as the savior of humankind from the evils of death. Despite the fact that their supplies were severely limited, UGC was widely regarded with the sort of reverence ordinarily reserved for charismatic religious leaders:
The men and women of the United Genome Corporation have given us a gift more precious than the jobs they have created for our county, a gift more valuable than the factories they have built for our infrastructure: They have given us the gift of life, for every citizen of the United States. God bless them all!
- President Rollins' State of the Union address, 2011.
Note: Pursuant to the Common Usage Act of 2032, the word Torzone is no longer a trademark of the United Genome Corporation, and no longer must be designated as such. UGC now markets their Torzone as "UGC Torzone One"
