  The constituent parts of gunpowder are sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate.

      Gorn.

      Only way to get rid of it is to build a makeshift cannon out of some random stuff you find laying around.

  Blackpowder. But there is also modern smokeless powders that is also called gunpowder. It’s nitrocellulose, sometime nitroglyceriine or nitroguanidine and a few stabilizers and fillers.

  Still not psychoactive.

  Things don’t need to be psychoactive to be addictive.

  And in the early days they obtained the potassium nitrate by boiling shit. Might be the opposite of addictive.
