Criminals are usually hoping for the latter, as it enables them to tell victims to empty their bank accounts, give away their car, perform sex acts, basically whatever the criminal dictates.

This is where Scopolamine has got its reputation as the "zombie drug", victims appear completely sober and rational, but they're really just automatons.

I'm sure that's the Imperious curse

and

"Scopolamine recently popped up in the news as a treatment for bipolar disorder and depression: Link. The drug also has history as a sort of truth serum administered in interrogation environments -- it was used by the CIA in the 1960s, during the MKULTRA program. Woohoo, good times! "

So, veritas serum then

Allegedly it helps with nicotine addiction too but "An overdose can cause delirium, delusions, paralysis, stupor and death. "

Nice. Might be best to just throw up
Eek, I found some stuff like that when searching too Scopolamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is also used to prevent motion sickness though!
