World's Scariest Drug

[Phaedron]

While it is occasionally used recreationally for its hallucinogenic properties, the experiences are often extremely mentally and physically unpleasant, and frequently physically dangerous.

Ryan Duffy went to Colombia to check out a strange and powerful drug called Scopolamine, also known as “The Devil’s Breath.”

It’s a substance so intense that it renders a person incapable of exercising free will.

The first few days in the country were a harrowing montage of freaked-out dealers and unimaginable horror stories about Scopolamine.

After meeting only a few people with firsthand experience, the story took a far darker turn than we ever could have imagined.

Fun Fact: Since the 1920s Scopolamine has been used as a kind of "truth serum" for Interrogations and stuffs.

Yeah the video gets into that. The CIA tried to use it in the 60s for Truth Serum, but the problem is all the halucinations that go along with it. Although the patient is telling the truth, much of what they say may be unreliable.

that was really stupid of them to flush it down the toilet... Hopefully it didn't contaminate any water supplies.
