History
At some point, a variant of the substance was produced known as Joker Juice that the Jokerz were passing through viral messaging of the web address on the internet. (Detective Comics v1 #867)
Overview
A variant of the substance was Joker Juice that superficially resembled Joker Venom but was a derivative which was much less toxic. In fact, the key ingredient of the Venom which was hydrogen cyanide was missing in its chemical makeup. However, strychnodide was present that caused the muscle convulsions which produced the hallmark ricus sardonicus grin. This was combined with methamphetamine, MDMA, and nitrous oxide which produced the effects of euphoria, mild hallucinations, increased energy levels, uncontrolled hilarity and muscular spasms. It was believed that Joker Juice was likely to be psychologically addictive after a single dose. (Detective Comics v1 #867)
