Changes: The Bliss

"Newt: What is that?
Doctor: Just a little cocktail. Calcium, full-aid vitamin A-Z pretty much everything you’ve been deprived out there try to relax."

The Bliss was an expensive drug that only the rich could afford. It was a temporary treatment (not a cure) for the Flare that delayed the flares overtake of the brain by slowing down brain function. Thus, slowing down the infection during the process as the disease takes over more quickly if the person's brain was working harder to stop the infection.

While it did slow the progress of the Flare, it also made the user more "relaxed" and "zoned-out". Users will often simply stare blankly at the sky, relax, talk slowly, and worry about nearly nothing at all. This makes it easy to tell if a person was on the drug or not.

In Denver, Thomas had seen someone arrested for having the Flare and not telling anyone. The man was given away by the fact that he was already on the Bliss.

Trivia

Brenda mentioned that the Cranks living in the Scorch were not given any Bliss, this implied that the Cranks were majorly used as part of the Trials and were used to help WICKED.
In the The Death Cure, Lawrence kept his Flare at bay by using the Bliss, and helped Thomas get into the Last City on the condition that he would provide for more Bliss after the Break-in to the Last City.
