Table value discrepancies

Creating a "drug effects" table (under that subheading). This allowed this page's extra-wide "addiction & tolerance" table to shift some columns to that table - win/win. However, in gathering info I found more than a couple contradictory values, and others that I don't trust 100%. Under the pre-existing table here, Go-juice has a listed duration of .7 days, but under the go-juice article it states that it lasts 1.875 days. (Am going with lesser value w/ a {check} template for now).
Then, the table @ Flake#Drug has some values that I find vary suspect - Yayo is listed +15 Movement, but on the same page it's -20! Or is the +15 an offset for the -20 Consciousness penalty to Move, and the "-20" was an observed cascade??? (that's what I'm going with - for now) Also under Yayo, both Consciousness and Manipulation are -20 - but since a -20 Consc equals a -20 to Manip, I similarly have to wonder if that's an accurate additional -20 (-40 manip?) or not (believing "not" for now, w {Check}).
Further, "Tiredness" (aka Rest Fall Rate) was confused with "Rest" in the Psychite tea intro (fixed), and I find it hard to believe that Go-juice has a fraction of the Tiredness reduction that Flake & Yayo give (80% vs. 33% Tired) AND no boost to "Rest" - but... maybe? Did Rest/Tiredness get confused (again), or one simply left out? Were those table values maybe intended as "negative" values, reducing Tired (and/or Rest!)? Who knows? NOT ME, that's the problem, and I don't know how to get in to the code to find out. Specifically:

  • Duration of 1 dose of Go-juice (.7 days vs. 1.875 days?)
  • Confirm both "Rest" and "Tired" factors for Flake, Go-juice, and Yayo
  • Confirm "Movement" (+15 or -20?) for Yayo
  • Confirm no additional -20% "Manipulation" for Yayo
  • Evaluate accuracy/clarity of Flake#Drug table; evaluate deleting, or editing OR copy/pasting to related articles (I'm happy to edit once I know the correct values, whatever works)
  • Only if you want, scan new effects table and pre-existing "addiction & tolerance table for for similar hiccups
