A terribly venomous potion.

Quaffing a potion of strong poison poisons you for 3 to 15 (more) levels (with a strong probability for 9). Poison levels over 5 are very nasty, and this potion can put you anywhere from yellow poison status to pink and even to red (where it can do 100+ damage before running its course).

It is not entirely useless, however. Characters with rPois may drink it for a small amount of nutrition.

"You feel quite nauseous." (with poison resistance)

In 0.13 it will ignore poison resistance.
