Scopolamine
Yep yes indeed. Vey pure scopolamine is produced in Ecuador for commercial use--it's the active agent in travel sickness pills. Their side effects are those of a low dose of Burrundanga. It is smuggled to Colombia where its use is fairly common. I read that 25% of toxicity intakes to Bogota hospital's accident and emergency are Burrundanga attacks. Colombia is a safe, wonderful, very welcoming country but gangs use this drug, so, take care.
Scopolamine was experimented with by CIA and UK agencies as a truth serum but it's unreliable--People say yes to everything under it! The cuddly Gestapo also used it in addition to iron bars etc etc. Joking aside Burrundanga attacks are sickening in their details. I read of one Colombian woman who had been brought into A and E drugged and nacked. When she woke she asked for her baby, shrieked for her baby, screaming for her baby. What baby? asked the staff. Under the drug she would have freely given up her child, consented to anything at all and forgotten it all. I was lost for emotion or words when I read of that. Chins up and have fun folks, Linzi.
