Scopolamine or Burundanga: The Colombian Drugs Mystery
Scopolamine, which is essentially a date-rape drug on steroids, is derived from Devil’s Breath and is responsible for countless Imperius-esque episodes in Colombia. And from wikipedia: Scopolamine, also known as levo-duboisine, and hyoscine, is a tropane alkaloid drug with muscarinic antagonist effects.
Scopolamine is made from the fruit of the Borrachero tree, whose flowers are narcotic. Locals use the tree’s flowers in tea as a hallucinogen, but the fruit must be chemically processed to create scopolamine.
Scopolamine (or burundanga, “the devil’s breath”) apparently leaves the victim fully conscious and functional, but also totally open to suggestion.
Scopolamine is used not only as a date-rape drug, but also as an aid for robbers. Prostitutes will slip it to unsuspecting customers, and burglars will use it to help homeowners empty their own homes of valuables.
In recent years the criminal use of scopolamine has become epidemic in Colombia. Approximately one in five emergency room admissions for poisoning in Bogotá have been attributed to scopolamine. In a bizarre case, a band of female thieves would impregnate their breasts with scopolamine and then would lure potential victims to lick their nipples. “Losing all willpower, the men readily gave up their bank access codes. The breast-temptress thieves then held them hostage for days while draining their accounts.”
