2 quick ideas i just had while playing, nutrient paste overdrive research - colonist takes meal and one more is dropped on floor, and new drug requiring adrenal gland extraction from butcher table
maybe, adrenaline shot- medic uses syringe to get an incapacitated pawn back on his feet?
sorry, for the edits, after brooding a bit, i still can't see anything wrong with the paste idea, and for the adrenaline idea, i was just thinking the drug system would feel more complete with a craftable one that didn't require growing, and some kind of glandular fluid from the butcher table would be the way to go
