Devils Breath Drug - real life mind control?
I know someone that is all into consipiracy theories, and I usually blow them off, but then he mentioned some sort of south american mind control drug. I'm naturally a skeptic to literally anything he says, however on a whim (because I'm a mind control fetishist) I looked it up. I found out that APPARENTLY it exists, it is called the Devil's Breath/scopolamine/hyoscine hydrobromide, and comes from a powder extracted from a tree called the borrechero. Unfortunately, I can't get enough info from it other than a few news sites called VICE and daily mail, which tote it as some sort of super zombie drug, a reddit thread from an apparent victim, and the wikipedia page on it states that it was even used as a truth serum, but discontinued due to side effects. Does anyone here happen to know of this? I personally like to think the news stories are exaggerated as per usual doubled with no readily available information, and it is no worse than acid or some other hallucinogenic, but I hate to imagine what it would mean be it as bad as the news sites say. Do you guys know anything about this?
