Make some multiple drugs like these , make it not possible to take 2 or multiple at the same time(some overdose mechanism) and voila you get new drug system that makes sense and ugly powerbuilds don't have to chew multiple drugs like candy to get something out of it.
Yes there could be three hard drugs that you can't take more than 1. Hard drugs could be psycho, jet and buffout. Nuka, cigs, beer and mentats could be soft drugs which one could take as much as he wants.
Unfortunately "overdose" system has been rejected by the devs... i cannot fathom whyRight now a character can take everything and be even more chem soaked than a sponge in toxic waste dumpHard and soft drug could be a good idea... if the current drugs were balanced towards it (so you'd have a real hard time deciding whether to take Psycho, Jet or Voodoo [i hope it would get implemented too =P ])
Well without any doubt we agree on hard and soft drugs with an overdose system. I suppose we will have to break solars nec... i mean motivate him for this to be implemented. \btw your after burner gum could fit nicely in soft drugs.

Overdose is just a bad mechanism that would bring frustration into gameplay. ("gonna take drugs.. arggghh ! overdosed ! cant play with this char anymore")
What ? Frustration into gameplay ? Oh well i'm sorry , but there has to be some way to limit the amount of drugs a player can take otherwise we will see builds like this " 10 10 10 5 10 10 6 "
