Word of joy
Speak happy, calming words to someone while using psychic suggestion to implant a joyfuzz loop in their mind. The joyfuzz will suppress uncomfortable thoughts and sensations in the target to improve mood. This has the side-effect of dulling sensation and decision-making, which reduces consciousness.

Analysis
Word of Joy can be a suitable substitute compared to drugs, especially for those vulnerable to overdose (such as children). The joywire is similar with its mood buff and consciousness debuff, however it is usually superior because it is not permanent.
