Pharma: pharmausca, or however you spell it. Like aya, but cutting out pure plant tea: just the maois and your DMT.
As far as "smoalk moar"; other than sounding stupid, I don't know (really, as far as made up words go, this one is pretty freakin lame).

I found this :surprised
"As you can tell, I am rather enjoying this whole Lexicon project.
So, my newest phrase:
=== Spice Slang ===
(noun)
The informal usage in vocabulary and idiom relating to Spice and Hyperspace. It is characteristically more metaphorical, playful, elliptical, vivid, and ephemeral than ordinary language. Use of any terms in the Hyperspace Lexicon in one's speech or writing is an example of Spice Slang. It also includes the purposeful mis-spelling of words for added meaning amongst those in the know. (i.e. smoalk for smoke and moar for more)
Spice Slang can be characterized by the use of vulgar and socially taboo vocabulary alongside its idiomatic expressions... Or not. It is, in practice, the jargon of the particular class or subsection of the population who are interested in, and often regularly partake in the consumption of DMT. It is a flexible and ever expanding set of terminology, and its use can sometimes lead to confusion amongst the un-initiated.
This phrase could also be used as a verb, adjective, or other article of speech.
Interestingly enough, the term slang, on its own, has its roots in the "special vocabulary of tramps or thieves," and grew into the "jargon of a particular profession." First usage in English appears in the mid 1700's. It is likely of Scandinavian source. (cf. Norw. slengenamn "nickname," slengja kjeften "to abuse with words," lit. "to sling the jaw," related to O.N. slyngva "to sling." )

This is a nexus staple phrase. My favourite usage of the term is to imply overthought of a simple issue, that one is not seeing the bigger picture, that one should have a much broader insight which can be facilitated by smoalking moar. After the moar has been smoalked, the initial issue may be obsolete.
It's not a lame phrase by any stretch - maybe you should smoalk moar
