Carbonite (also known as The Spice by users) was a highly addictive substance with which many people liked to get stoned on. However, getting stoned on Carbonite had dangerous health risks, especially if one overdosed. A notable example of these health risks was Han Solo, who with the help of Darth Vader and his buddy Boba Fett got himself stoned in Carbonite. When Han woke up he found himself surrounded by weird critters and a space slug, but it is believed that it was really just a dream brought on by the overdose. This did not deter him, and by the end of his life he was nothing more than a mental wreck who's only joy was to stone himself on carbonite every day or so.
