Trade
Compared to yayo, selling flake on the market is more efficient based on ingredient cost (33% more silver per psychoid leaf), but less efficient based on production time (20% less silver per Work To Make). Flake is the better choice when growing psychoid leaves is a greater bottleneck than turning them into drugs (e.g. where skilled growers or arable land are in short supply).
However, with both drugs having the same mass, yayo allows a caravan to pack 50% more value into a single load than flake.
Psychoid tea is worth the least and takes the longest to make of the three psychoid drugs, which means it is only economically valuable to colonies without the means to produce the others.
