I think Soma is an uplifting drink, a tonic.
New one on me mamya
so·ma 2 (sō′mə)
n.
An intoxicating or hallucinogenic beverage, made from a plant or fungus whose identity is now unknown, that was offered to the gods and consumed by participants in Vedic ritual sacrifices.
Wasn't Soma the intoxicant of choice in Brave New World?

Thank you Mamyalynne And captain 2 for the explanation and yes it should be halfway.
soma is a body and 'uplift' means that it is to be reversed
