Just as the title says.. It's basically the real life drug of coccaine.. Just makes you angry with withdraws and makes you do stupid things.. But it does make you immune to pain though lol.. I love the Jem 'Hadar!

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Ketracel White also simply doesn't work.
Henry Wu: We control their chromosomes. It's really not that difficult. All vertebrate embryos are inherently female anyway, they just require an extra hormone given at the right developmental stage to make them male. We simply deny them that.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Deny them that?!
Dr. Ian Malcolm: John, the kind of control you're attempting simply is... it's not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh... well, there it is.
It's been a longtime since I read it but In the book didn't they engineer the dinos to need a extra nutrient/enzyme to be added to their food that their bodies couldn't produce as well?
Yes, they did the enzyme deficiency (lysine) too. Both don't work: life will find a way.
watch the DS9 episode "The Abandoned" for the full story of this drug.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I believe you. Only the other day I read even Adobe is finally giving up on Flash. :P
that's not the Flash I'm talking about
The Spice must flow !
your missing an important part... they arent dinos. they are hybrid... they didnt have complete dna so they spliced in another organism... one that has the ability to change genders.
It's also the stupidest thing to put in ones body.
You might just as well put a six-shooter to your head with five bullets, spin the chamber and pull the trigger.
In the last year, I've seen more cases of folks coming to the hospital on deaths-door from just one dose of this TRIBBLE.
Mostly young adults who think it is "COOL"...
It's not so cool when you realize that dying from using K2..., IS NOT the worse thing that can happen to you.
Irreparable Comas, Long term Liver & Kidney damage, Severe Brain Damage and Complete Sexual Dysfunction being the short list.

I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
Both Jurassic Park and Deep Space Nine are fictional, so you shouldn't read too much into either.
I think there is a simple reason Ketracel White is reliable - The Jem'Hadar don't get to reproduce normally, and are still under
relatively tight control. Abberations that can live without Ketracel White will remain that - abberations. And probably often quickly killed by the Dominion. And if there ever is an independent, free spirited, procreating, non-dependent Jem'Hadar community - it doesn't take away the Dominion's ability to produce new Founder-worshipping ketracell white dependent Jem'Hadar.
The real world has examples that life doens't always find a way. Pandas don't really look like they are overcoming their bamboo dependency, and will likely die out considering their unwillingness to reproduce. Unless some geneticist take over and try to make some changes, Pandas will likely die out. Life doesn't care, there are plenty of other bear-species anyway.
Pandas notwithstanding, adaption is still key in the whole survival spiel. And even if a specific bear type doesn't survive, a better adapted one will.
I agree the Jem'Hadar probably don't live long enough to take benefit of their 'abberations', though. And I don't think they breed normally either. But, not under Dominion control, I think it stands to reason ere long Jem'Hadar would be born that don't need the Ketracel White.
I kinda forgot how they reproduce (if at all). If I recall correctly, they are grown in facilities of some sort; so they probably can't reproduce at all (and are just produced, by the Dominion). So yeah, there's that.
Yeah. Wasn't there an Episode where the last of 'Weyung 5' died or something? (They were cut-off from the Delta Quadrant). So they may not be able to reproduce normally either.
I think the problem was more that they couldn't create a new Weyoun since the cloning facilities were destroyed by the Alpha Quadrant forces. It doesn't necessarily mean that they couldn't "produce" new Vortas the traditional way - but it wouldn't result in the next Weyoun.
