I'm of course a bit biased in this matter, but I must say I would like to mostly keep it as is. Drugs are messy. Before I rewrote the go-juice page I had pretty much no clue how drugs worked in-game - and reading the wiki didn't really help. The current design of the Summary is therefore heavily oriented on the technical side - which I think it should.

What really helped wrapping my head around drugs, was to realise that high and addiction are just one-time effects a pawn will/can get when taking the drug. I therefore think it's important to keep those numbers under "on injection". This also means having a separate section for the high is necessary to avoid confusion about what the high severity actually means.

A positive side effect of me trying to calculate as much values as possible automatically, is that the page naturally can't present you with a number that wasn't introduced earlier. This of course also means, that the result of a calculation is always to the end of a paragraph. I understand that it might seem better to put the result first. But for people to understand what it actually means, they need to read the explanations anyway. Better to guide them through it from the start.

I don't want to say it's perfect. Some sentences could certainly be split and some wording simplified. But I think the most important thing should be to keep it as precise as possible.
