The World's Scariest Drug (Scopolamine Documentary)

Scopolamine
quote:
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.

The jenkem and krokodile craze have yet to make it here. Why? We have better drugs than these.
Scopolamine isn't going to come to the US.

About one in five emergency room admissions for poisoning in Bogotá, Colombia, have been attributed to scopolamine.[4] In June 2008, more than 20 people were hospitalized with psychosis in Norway after ingesting counterfeit Rohypnol tablets containing scopolamine.[22

The difference is this drug is used to rob people, not to get high. You could literally steal millions in a day from someone using this and they would help you do it!

Lol Scopolamine is used in anesthetic practice everyday...........put a patch behind the ear and you'll get great antiemetic effects and dry mouth.

Don't take a nap under that tree dude!

I worked at a plant nursery for a while in high school, we sold some of those. My manager told me you about how it would make you trip really really hard. He also said there was a possibility of death if you ingested too much of it.
I always felt like he had tried it out a few times but never asked.

Transderm Scop
It's a compound that contributes to Nightshade's effects, hence the similar "trips"

Not like a seasickness patch - it is a seasickness patch. At least that was what I used it for w/o any weird side effects. I haven't read the horror story yet, though.

When I saw the thread title, I said "Scopolamine?!?...Isn't that the stuff my doctor gave me for sea-sickness?"
It works great. I was out on the Gulf a ton during the oil spill and without those patches, I would have been one sick puppy.
It does give you serious dry mouth, like the worst I've ever had. Also, you still feel a little sea-sick, but you wont barf or get dizzy from my experience.

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 plenty of drugs that accomplish this now. Load you up on oxy and xanax and you can get someone to give you almost anything.

Must not be the same thing. We went in a cruise for our honeymoon, and my wife wore a patch.
She most definitely was NOT open to many if my suggestions that night.

Spin off?
What other garden flowers or herbs can get you baked? I have salvia growing... How do you transform it?

Not worse than Krocodil

Morning glory and hawaaian woodrose seeds contain lysergic acid amide which is very close to lsd.
