VICE sent a guy to Columbia to investigate the effects of a drug known to locals as ‘Devil’s Breath’ which reportedly can render a person entirely suggestible, essentially they will do anything they are asked to do. And yes what you just thought of is one of the things it is used for.
Although the documentary doesn’t get very scientific, the stories told by interviewed locals make this interesting enough. Scopolamine as the drug is also known as has an air of mysticism about it with roots in ancient rituals. Enjoy.
I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors.
I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things..
Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I?
Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished.
I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything.
Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work.
