Cobine

Cobine [co-BEEN] is a powerful sedative and anaesthetic derived from the carnivorous efelax cobine plant. It is particularly effective for surgery, since it is effective in small doses, easily administered, and induces a light coma while not suppressing breathing or other organs.

Cobine gained a reputation in Harthera as the “widow's ease”, since it was used in a number of well publicised murders involving women killing their husbands. Large doses of it are tasteless, but can rapidly cause coma and death.
