Joy is the name of a series of psychoactive drugs used by the residents off Wellington Wells in order to forget bad memories and stay happy.

Joy, as a psychoactive drug, induces happiness and euphoria, making the user perceive the world to be much more enjoyable than it really is.

People under the influence of Joy are called Wellies and anyone who refuses to take their Joy are called Downers.It goes against social acceptability, as well as the law, for citizens to be off their Joy.

Downers who are found to not be on their Joy are immediately targeted and is either killed by the Wellies,or chased out into the Garden District, to live amongst Wastrels; people who cannot take Joy at all.

APPEARANCE:

Joy is generally consumed in the form of a pill, with the shape of an edible capsule. Each capsule is color-coded depending on its 'flavour', with one side being lighter while the other side is darker, with the exception of Coconut.

Vanilla is white/very light yellow, Chocolate is brown, Strawberry is pink, and Blackberry is purple. Coconut has one side white and the other side brown.

In addition to the pill form, Joy is also available in a liquid and gaseous form.

All water sources and foodstuffs in Hamlym Village are laced with liquid Joy while Jubilators and aerosol spray machines disperse gaseous Joy all over the city.
