Torture Drug

[splish6]

Think about the huge variety of experiences that drugs can give you. Our brains are complicated, with lots of different neurotransmitters and receptors just waiting to be stimulated or inhibited by drugs!

I see so much more potential for them though, so many more feelings to synthesize.

I think of opiates, and wonder why there isn't a drug that makes you feel complete full-body pain. A hornet stinging every inch of your skin or something.

Is there? Will there be?

I guess I shouldn't limit it to just a "torture drug" type thing. There are so many other feelings to be induced. Deja vu, orgasm, etttcccc...

Some day drugs will become obsolete and we'll be able to create these feelings by shoving some kind of Matrix plug into our brains or something, right?

Possibly, though Im somewhat of a cynicist if the government got control over these torture drugs and used them secretly whereever the CIA holds all their top secret prisons would have a new poster on the wall, reading Torturex: only approved for ages 18-69
Or perhaps they would use them to punish unruly cellmates. We have plenty of chemicals we could throw together the best torture drug around. Just take all the side effects and get rid of the pleasent ones.

I forget the name (did a search but couldn't find it), but there is a drug that makes anything bitter taste sweet; so if you ate a spoonful of salt it would taste like sugar. That is pretty specific as far as drug effects go, usually there are a slew of other side effects.

As for a torture drug, i'm sure LSD used under the right (or wrong) circumstances could be used in torture. Imagine being locked in some dilapidated torture chamber WHILE tripping on acid. I'd tell them anything they want to know pretty fast.

According to reports from people who have been kidnapped by CIA and taken to "secret prisons" under "extraordinary rendition" - and were later released after extreme outcry by foreign governments (allied with USA only need apply - like a famous case out of Germany) - they were given LSD or something similar and subjected to various forms of physical and psychological torture.

After playing with LSD-25 (and various similar molecules) from 1949 through the 1960's, the CIA learned it didn't make a good truth serum. But they DID learn you could magnify the pain you were intentionally inflicting on your victims.

Swim read that LSD-25 was invented and then used on patients to see the effect it had on them. Scientists self-experimented with this drug and found out that they could in fact induce extremely high levels of awareness such as psychic perception. They also induced psychotic symptoms that could be reversed with something like clonozapine? So How to these drugs give humans the ability to read through things? Swims not sure the mechanism of LSD, swim never has done LSD. Swim has had psychic experiences on high doses of caffiene mixed with stimulants. Swim also heard that cocaine can produce esp.

"This self-experiment showed that LSD-25 behaved as a psychoactive substance with extraordinary properties and potency. There was to my knowledge no other known substance that evoked such profound psychic effects in such extremely low doses, that caused such dramatic changes in human consciousness and our experience of the inner and outer world. " taken from an exerpt on LSD origins.

As far as for torture, LSD had been proven to increase the levels of pain that were inflicted on prisoners.

anyone ever see that movie "jacobs ladder" wasnt that about a supposed drug the US government created and tested on people in Vietnam, turned them into vicious soldiers, if the government made something like that i can only imagine what they could make to torture people.

but on another note, imagine a prisoner on, huge doses of both diphenhydramine and lsd. Go in his cell dressed as a gorilla or something and hed prolly shit himself and scream until he lost his voice.

Better yet, BZ + LSD.

Gaba antagonists like metrazol don't sound, they are a lot of fun. They can put your in a convulsive state. Antipsychotics as risperdone. And this one I found on wikipedia and sounds especially horrible. Suxamethonium chloride:

Side effects include fasciculations, muscle pains, acute rhabdomyolysis with hyperkalemia, transient ocular hypertension, constipation[2] and changes in cardiac rhythm including bradycardia, cardiac arrest, and ventricular dysrhythmias. In children with unrecognized neuromuscular diseases, a single injection of suxamethonium can lead to massive release of potassium from skeletal muscles with cardiac arrest.
Suxamethonium does not produce unconsciousness or anesthesia, and its effects may cause considerable psychological distress while simultaneously making it impossible for a patient to communicate. For these reasons, administration of the drug to a conscious patient is strongly contraindicated, except in necessary emergency situations.
This drug has occasionally been used as a paralyzing agent for executions by lethal injection, although pancuronium bromide is the preferred agent today because of its longer duration of effect and its absence of fasciculations as a side effect. It has also allegedly been used for murder.[3]
Suxamethonium is the drug that is suspected to have been used to murder Nevada State Controller Kathy Augustine.[4]

And the duration is ideal for interrogations:

Suxamethonium is quickly degraded by plasma cholinesterase and the duration of effect is usually in the range of a few minutes. When plasma levels of cholinesterase are greatly diminished or an atypical form of cholinesterase is present (an otherwise harmless inherited disorder), paralysis may last much longer.

Dantrolene:

CNS side effects are quite frequently noted and encompass speech and visual disturbances, mental depression and confusion, hallucinations, headache, insomnia and exacerbation or precipitation of seizures, and increased nervousness. Infrequent cases of respiratory depression or a feeling of suffocation have been observed. Dantrolene often causes sedation severe enough to incapacitate the patient to drive or operate machinery.
Gastrointestinal effects include bad taste, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.

And of course, these are all approved by the FDA.

800mg Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride.

Insufflated.

Amen, SWIM's Diphenhydramine experience was the closest thing to hell that a person can experience.

[stoneinfocus]

anti-psychoticsa like olanzapine, or risperidone in high doses do the trick... they´ll blast away any dopamine and make you feel seconds liek months, fell like being thirsty but unable to drink, like always starving and a dysphoria that´ll make you really think of hitting( doesn´t help) yourself or jumping onto the highway from a bridge.

Plus it blasts away your 5-HT receptors and some of them react to 5-HT deprivation by downregulation and don´t recover, so good luck facing no sleep, no circadian rhythm and other cool stuff probably for the rest of your life.

LSD + a Britney Spears CD...I'll tell 'em whatever they want to know.

Yep, Jacobs Ladder was based on a fucking frightening drug called BZ. (...and which by the way has been stockpiled and adapted for use in everything from mortars to750lb+ bombs. It was meant to be tested in Vietnam (..I think it was, didn't check ...)but the US government has no qualms about using this in the event of MAJOR civil unrest)

The major chemical research centre for the army was known as 'The Edgewood Arsenal'. However, what information is available about drugs developed in the 60's and 70's will be nothing compared to the secret research that will be ongoing now, particularly will gene splicing/manipulation and all other 'new' areas of research. The fact is, and will always remain that research will be done to 'stay ahead of the game' - research is done in all areas so the knowledge is there if some 'unknown weapon' is used against the US. That said, Britain also had its own infamous research facilities and without a doubt there will be the same going on right now.
