An Assortment of Potions
Amadeo Bronzanti was a master apothecary and alchemist, and his pharmacy of is well-stocked with ingredients. The majority of the raw materials contained within are herbal or chemical, but there are also exotic substances and magical components as well.
For someone with the right skills, such supplies would be of considerable value for creating new concoctions... both to heal or to harm.
The Pharmacy contains about 2000 gp (crafting value) worth of rare ingredients, reagents, and supplies. These may be used by artisans with Poisons, Herbalism, Alchemy, or Medicine (depending on the desired outcome).
In addition, there were a number of ready-made drugs and potions crafted by Bronzanti to sustain himself throughout his very long life...

Aside from its mind-altering qualities, it also contains an anti-rejection compound which can lower viral immunity over time.
The opiates are ADDICTIVE. Each time they are used, a CON save is required. Failing this save subjects the user to the Poisoned condition until their next fix, or until the withdrawal clears (DM discretion). The DC for this check starts at DC10 and increases by +1 with every use.
