Drug info - Nightshade

[machine_elf]

Potatoes, aubergines and tomatoes are part of the family solancae (nightshades). The only thing they share with deadly nightshade (atropa belladonna) is solanine which will NOT produce anything reminiscent of an MDMA high. The main deleriant in deadly nightshade is atropine which is a VERY DANGEROUS tropane alkaloid. DO NOT EVEN CONTEMPLATE using the deleriant tropane alkaloids unless you are VERY well informed (which it doesn't sound like you are). Steer well clear.

isn't atropine used to treat something? i know military wise, you are given 4 needles of shots, for if you become contaminated, i forget w/ what.. but i believe they give us Atropine in one of the shots...

[Nagognog2]

Atropine is used as an antidote for Nerve-Gas - which are cholinesterase inhibibitors. Datura is about as much a recreational drug as being whacked with nerve-gas. Forget it.

[Bajeda]

Its for VX gas. The antidote injection contains diazepam, atropine, pralidoxime chloride, and who knows what else.

I doubt you'd want to take it if you hadn't suffered a VX gas attack!!


Ah, heres a better summary:

U.S. military personnel are equipped with auto-injector kits containing the antidotes. But the drugs must be administered immediately upon exposure to VX. (The antidotes can be dangerous to those who haven't been exposed.)
