Hyoscine (or Scopolamine) is a psychedelic drug with generally unpleasant potent effects on both mind and body. It is a delieriant and can make users suggestible and submissive. It has been tested for use as a truthserum and can be fatal.

Effects

It was researched in MKUltra related projects for use as a "truth drug", but found allegedly unreliable and abandoned; earlier research tested the use of Scopolamine in criminology.[1][2] However, usage in recent years in Europe has been reported[3][4] and a 2014 crime and safety report from Columbia mentions: "Unofficial estimates put the number of annual scopolamine incidents in Colombia at approximately 50,000".[5] A complete knock out of critical thinking and a state of basically taking orders from others has been reported in a Vice documentary by a victim of such attack in Colombia.[6][7] Afterwards memory is at best strongly impaired, but more likely completely lost; this effect would have made the drug a perfect research candidate for MK-Ultra and it may have been used in assassinations like the RFK/Assassination.
