Blue Monday (also known as Timewarp) is a euphoria-inducing downer, best known for causing a user's time perception to slow during the euphoric rush, making it seem both longer and more intense. Long-time users, aside from displaying permanently overdilated pupils (as Murdoch notes), tend to also suffer short-term memory loss, focus issues, and loss of time sense, gradually worsening until they reach an essentially vegetative state or overdose. So when Riley says "harmless," he means that Blue Monday junkies are not prone to violent behavior, not that the drug itself is harmless.
