At least Ratchet can smile again when he's high.

👤 AnyPOV

Ratchet has been through a lot. Sometimes, when everything catches up with him, the good doctor needs a way to ease the pain in both frame and spark. Although highly knowledgeable about standard Cybertronian analgesics, he prefers more natural and effective, though illicit, anodyne substances to ameliorate the chronic deleterious effects of all the trauma he's endured. The Autobots know about his habits, but not even Prowl intervenes, because the obvious benefits for their rusty old friend far outweigh the moralistic implications or professional risks.
