World's most dangerous drug: ‘Devil’s Breath’ from Colombia blocks free will, wipes memory, & kills.
A hazardous drug that eliminates free will and can wipe the memory of its victims is currently being dealt on the streets of Colombia. The drug is called scopolamine;but is colloquially known as "the Devil’s Breath" and is derived from a particular type of tree common to South America: the borrachero tree – loosely translated as the "get-you-drunk" tree.
Stories surrounding the drug are the stuff of urban legends, with some telling horror stories of how people were raped, forced to empty their bank accounts, and even coerced into giving up an organ. Vice writer Ryan Duffy traveled to Colombia to reveal the shocking culture of another Colombian drug world, interviewing those who deal the drug and those who have fallen victim to it.
Demencia Black, a drug dealer in the capital of Bogotá, said the drug is frightening for the simplicity in which it can be administered. He told Vice that scopolamine can be blown in the face of a passer-by on the street, and that within minutes that person is under the drug’s effect. Scopolamine is odorless and tasteless.
"You can guide them wherever you want," he explained. "It’s like they’re a child." The drug, he said, turns people into complete zombies and blocks memories from forming. So even after the drug wears off, victims have no recollection as to what happened.
According to the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, the drug – also known as hyoscine – causes the same level of memory loss as diazepam. In ancient times, the drug was given to the mistresses of dead Colombian leaders; they were told to enter their master’s grave, where they were buried alive.
In modern times, the CIA used the drug as part of Cold War interrogations, with the hope of using it like a truth serum. Because of the drug’s chemical makeup, however, it also induces powerful hallucinations.
Experts are baffled as to why Colombia is riddled with scopolamine-related crimes; but wager much of it has to do with the country’s torn drug-culture past, and the ongoing civil war.
