What everyone has commented so far is true. Scopolamine is used as an anti-emetic and anti-motility drug. The patch is scopoderm. In high enough concentrations, most drugs within the class can be deadly. It is a solanaceous alkaloid derivative similar to atropine (atropa belladonna, deadly nightshade). The amine is tertiary, which means it can become systemic when unionized. Some analogues are made with a quaternary nitrogen to keep the effects localized (see ipratropium).
There are multiple words in your post that I have never used and a few I've never seen before.
Congrats on your superior intellect (or for going to pharmaceutical school)

You are pretty smart!

You were doing it wrong.
No weird effects for me or the missus, either, and the patch saved me from barfing for a week. Weird that the movie never mentions it being a seasickness prevention, but it has to be the same stuff with a name like "scopolamine".

I'll take your word for it. I don't like to get my news from Bill Maher and the liberal tards he keeps company.

Yeah, that scared the ever loving shite out of me when I saw it. Imagine if they started importing that shite here? It would be the one drug I would support the death penalty on, since you can only have the most horrifying motives if you have it in your possession.

Scopolamine isn't going to come to the US.
People who buy this drug aren't looking to have a good time or to get their fix. It is with pure malicious purposes, to steal, rape, and murder. That's basically the only reasons to have this drug.

There are plenty of drugs that accomplish this now. Load you up on oxy and xanax and you can get someone to give you almost anything.
I don't care how fricked up I am, I doubt someone could convince me to empty out tens of thousands of dollars out of my bank account or have me help them take furniture out of my apartment.

I recognized one word

belladonna
She's an actress who was born in Biloxi and is known for being open to pretty much anything.

That is exactly what I was about to say. Like word for word. I would add potato and talleywhacker in there somewhere though.

IIRC it's made from Angel Trumpet, so it's kinda here already. Infact I have a neighbor with those flowers.
If you want to scare the shite out of some medical personnel, touch that plant and rub one eye.

It supposedly causes some pretty intense hallucinations as well, from what I recall.
