A somewhat amusing account of a reporter's trip to Columbia to find out more about the zombie drug, complete with dramatic music.

Dunno about amusing but this drug is hella scary. Lets just hope it doesn't migrate to the rest of the world.

All this drug is, is the active principle of brugmansia(the plant they show) also any other nightshade, including datura. These plants with scopolamine have been used around the world for centuries. It does not really make one a zombie but perhaps parylzes them with fear. The reporter knows very few facts regarding this drug which is an anticholinergeric deliariant. Like anything that is used to enact revenge it is horrifying when exploited by the wrong people, and it is horrifying in general. It does appear to have a very low dose for delirium around as little as 1 mg being an overdose. It appears that it is an extract used for mal purposes, I really doubt anyone uses this for fun. This drug can be found in my backyard as well as almost EVERYWHERE in the world, it appears that the south americans are the only ones who have exploited its vicious properties for crimes though.

This is not a new drug and it has been used by the pharmacoeapia for a long time and i believe is still employed as a medicine at lower doses. Seems to serve the same purpose as rohypnol, as far as crime goes, due to its amnesia causing effects.
