Sansanna spice was a spice that was hard to come by in the galaxy at large, due in part to it being heavily taxed in some fourteen systems. As one of Ventooine's major exports it was regulated severely by the ruling Satabs. Unlike some spices, it was ingested directly into the mouth, resulting in the staining of addicts' face and hands. The Pyke Syndicate dealt with this spice, and its leader Lom Pyke's face and hands were stained by it.
