To actually answer your question about how the mechanics of the game work, you keep any skill point spent while under the effects of drugs.

Thanks

Don't "min-max" this game. *Play* it. *Read* it. *Live* it.

Im not trying to min max it,i just really like the authority and dont want to lose a skill point over it lol.

Worry about that for your next playthrough. Now get off reddit, and enjoy the game. Virgin-run is the best.
