Scopolamine

[Zostrianos]

I just watched this shocking documentary about Scopolamine, a sinister drug that destroys your free will, and is ravaging Colombia:
ToQ8PWYnu04

It essentially leaves you without free will, so that you'll do what anyone tells you. It's commonly used for date rapes and robberies - e.g. they drug the person and then tell them to go to their apartment and give them everything, or take them to an ATM machine and have them withdraw all their cash. Apparently in small doses the person appears and behaves perfectly normally, except that their free will is gone, and so it's impossible to detect until it's too late. It's also used recreationally to get high.

"free will" doesn't exist - how could it possibly be destroyed?

but yeah vice do some good documentaries, their krokodil one in particular was very interesting, also 'a swansea love song', about heroin addicts in swansea, is heartbreaking

I saw the krokodil one a few months ago.... fuck was I traumatized :crying:
I may have nightmares about it for years to come :(

I'm a bit skeptical of this claim of "destroying your free-will."

It probably does make you more easy malleable to suggestions and it has been used and tested as a "truth serum" in the past.
But as far as I heard of scopolamine, the main thing is it's a delirious "trip" where you may in fact see things that are not entirely there at all. Scopolamine comes from datura.

Thought this was a thread on Scallopini. The only way to cook veal.

I think by free will the OP meant the ability to think for oneself (in the normally used way of saying that)
