Drug Name: Scopolamine Street Names: The Zombie Drug, The Devil's Breath and Burundanga Source: Borrachero (The Devil's Plant). More specifically the Zombie Drug comes from the fruit of the plant. Danger Of Drug: Criminals use the drug on their victims to kill them and/or, rape them and/or rob them Effect On Victim: The victim will appear normal but they have in a sense lost their ability to resist suggestion. As an example, if the victim is told to hand-over cash they will do so willingly without any resistance all the while appearing to look like they have decided this on their own. The victim will also awaken with no memory of what happened. There is a risk that the victim may die also due to an overdose as this is the biggest challenge for the criminal as they decide how much to give the victim. Common Ways The Zombie Drug / Devils Breath Is Given: The potency of the drug is so high it can be simply blown into the victims face or rubbed on them. It is also slipped into drinks usually left unattended by the victim. Potential Global Impact Assessment: Very small doses (as little as a gram of powder) can potentially kill 10 people. This drug has not only domestic consquences regarding crime but global concerns as well because it is a drug that can be gotten from a common plant and could have devastating consequences should the drug get into the hands of terrorists. |
