P.U.S.S-E: the drug
This page refers to the concept within the ARG, not the song.
P.U.S.S-E is short for Pineal Upregulation Synthetic Substance Enhanced, as seen in promotional posts. It is based on DMT, as confirmed in the song.

“What would you do for P.U.S.S-E?”
P.U.S.S-E is a drug, as seen in Instagram posts and implied by a pill bottle at the end of the spectrogram in the song and additional promotional information. The stylization of puss-e (like P.u.s.s-e) is different between the tracklist and the instagram.
In the Strassman Codec from June 2039 we learn that the pineal upregulation synthetic substance (enhanced) is synthesized using Selene’s exceptional pineal gland. Her unique indole alkaloid structure is what the substance is based on. By pairing this drug with Nex Gen’s Dreamseeker tanks, subjects are given a chance at reaching Youtopia, however the consequences of that pursuit can be severe, likely even deadly.
Promotional post from the BMTH instagram, see page on social posts
The small text on the access card on the main ARG page also recommends two doses of P.U.S.S-E a day for this patient.
