This is a bit disturbing ....
" VBS.TV recently did a story on Scopolamine, a substance commonly referred to as "Devils Breath" in Colombia, where it is a common street drug.

This stuff is as close to pure evil as it gets, a tiny amount of the powder administered to the victim causes one of two effects, a) death, or b) complete loss of free will. 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

Excellent, at least you would be honest if you were feeling a little bit bent

Eek, I found some stuff like that when searching too Scopolamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is also used to prevent motion sickness though!

Stugeron are recommended by DAN, I took them when I did my first liveaboard last year.

Not sure if I'd have got seasick anyway, they were just a precaution

[incapete]

Stugeron it is then! I took some on Sunday but I didn't realise you had to take them 2 hours before hand - I'm sure I saw them flying down the side of the boat a few minutes later while I puked my guts up!

Still, glad someone got out on Sunday. I would loved to have gone diving in the snow

Sounds like some sort of probe

I shall be checking the ingredients of any seasick pills i am offered - I wouldn't want to be having my bank accounts emptied, and I rather like my nice shiny new car.

I tend to take stugeron as soon as i get up on a boat diving day. If I forget, you can guarentee the fishies will get them if there is much movement on the boat

Safe diving,

You don't appear to have complained about the sex acts?.
