Zydrate comes in a little glass vial
And the little glass vial goes into the gun like a battery
And the Zydrate gun goes somewhere against your anatomy
And when the gun goes off it sparks and you're ready for surgery, surgery...
--Repo! The Genetic Opera, "Zydrate Anatomy"
Liberty, or "Lib", is a powerful designer drug manufactured by the NWO using kegare harvested mostly from willing or oblivious subjects.

Creation Process
What exactly goes into Lib may change from batch to batch; the recipe and the process of its distillation are more art than science, and none can be made without the "base material" possessed by the NWO. The base material in question is actually kegare, which is mixed with heavy stimulants and psychotropic substances to create the drug itself. In its final distilled form, Lib ships in little glass vials; the vials are designed to socket into specially designed hypodermic "guns" that deliver a pre-set dose when the trigger is pulled. This is the method by which Lib is dosed out to SEBEC security forces, for instance. The pills are manufactured purely in anticipation of emergency situations, given their potential to cause complete and instantaneous dissolution of the user's psyche.
Effects
The drug causes heightened physical properties, the temporary manifestation of powers resembling that of Persona, and madness. The effects eventually wear off but can be quite long lasting and include eventual heart and liver damage. This stuff is bad.
Varieties
"Street" Lib
Despite its eventually fatal effects, Lib is extremely popular -- especially when it's on the street and could be cut with anything. Mostly it is used by criminal agencies or those who have some grudge to settle, as it is essentially a death sentence in any large dose. However, the momentary exhilaration, increase in power, and amazing manifestation of supernatural abilities is enough to turn a lightweight into a raging berserker capable of killing and quite possibly eating an entire police force. This stuff sells high and is often used by private armies or exported as an illicit trade commodity; its manufacture is tightly controlled by the NWO, one of few groups able to harvest kegare and thus produce the "wonder" drug.
SEBEC Lib
The security guards at SEBEC use a type of Lib that is more stable than the street variety. There is a great deal of turnover among SEBEC's security forces, but their families are well-compensated for their loved ones' inevitable demise. This highly processed form of the drug has fewer long-term side effects and augments existing physical training. SEBEC guards must be in incredible shape to even be considered for the position, and must display no history of heart defects. Regular injections are the norm, with pills issued in emergency kits in anticipation of exigent circumstances.
Lib 2.0
A theoretical substance, because MA-347 makes everything better: Why not ingest small amounts of the mysterious metal along with your Lib? They haven't even begun animal trials on this as rats with Grey Mouser Personae tend to offend.
