Scary as shit

This coming from Vice Magazine- apparently there's a well-known drug in Colombia nicknamed Devil Breath. The scientific name is Scopolamine and in small doses, it's used to cure nausea and seasickness/ motion sickness. However, when used properly (or improperly) and in the correct dosages, it can literally destroy your free will. You act 100% normal, except that you do anything that is suggested to you, whether it's something trivial like, "Hey John, put on fourteen pairs of socks and go slap your sister in the calf muscle with a gummi worm," or something serious like, "Empty your ATM, give me all the money, go assassinate the President and then jump in front of the N Train."

Sounds like science fiction right? Sorry bra, it's science fact and it's fucking scary right?? Don't believe me? Watch this video. It's bad enough to try and imagine the hundreds of different ways someone could damage your life if they kidnapped you and used it on you- but take it a step further and imagine just what could happen if someone or some group of people figured out how to harness large quantities of it and affect large groups of people with it. They would basically have an army of otherwise seemingly normal, mindless zombies.... kinda like all those people that somehow make "Dancing with the Stars" one of the most popular shows on television.
