VICE's 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. |

That was really good. The Colombian chick who spoke a lot at the restaurant toward the first few minutes of the video was freaking gorgeous.
Kind of let down in the end, though...I expected one of those dudes to try it. |

Scopolamine is very old drug. We still have it in the pyxis.
It will scramble you and not drop blood pressure or stop you from breathing. Sometimes comes in handy. it is also what the Germans used as "truth serum". Small amounts given slowly to lower your inhibition. |

There are all sorts of horrible, or wonderful drugs out there. Anyone nutty enough to try some new and "unique" substance to find out what will happen, looses all of my sympathy. But I will be happy to nominate them for the Darwin awards.

I've grown Datura in my yard, it's nothing new.
Depending on the species, you can get scopolamine, hyoscyamine or atropine out of it. All are useful substances and used medicinally. It's not something you really want to trip off of. Very unpleasant effects. Jimsonweed is Datura. Lots of the Solanaceae contain interesting and useful alkaloids. Tobacco is one of them |

ROFLMAO.
Scopolamine. blech. It's a legit drug. I used scop patches for sea sickness –– decided I'd rather hork than use it. There's a reason Jimson weed and a couple other plants that contain scopolamine are legal: the "trip" sucks soooooo hard that you'll never do that again. Kinda like the first time you drank a whole bottle of Southern Comfort and now can't take even a sip of it. Aversive conditioning. Beautiful plants. Beekeepers hate them, fucks up their honey. |

Mmmm, delicious scop. The nurses used to love it when I would "finally" show up to refill their Pyxis with the patches 10 minutes after they called.

A guy I knew in high school took some datura and ended up in the hospital. I think he got it at a day trip at a public garden in town that had a datura plant.
If I recall correctly, the fruit had some sort of spikes on it. I think he took between 25 and 50 seeds that are found inside the fruit. He told me he allucinated that his mom had a fishbowl on her head, while she was standing in his hospital room. Take too much and you'll die. |

Back in the dark ages, I may or may not have been familiar with a combo of IM droperidol & scop for nausea & general brain scrambling properties. There have been lots of unstable major traumas where the only anesthetic someone could survive was gallons of blood, epinephrine, and scopolamine. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
