A California middle school student brings marijuana brownies on a field trip and hands them out to unsuspecting students and his teacher! The 14-year-old told police he wanted to get the class stoned and was probably expelled from the school.
I remember when MTV first started "True Life" They had an episode that was "True Life: I'm Addicted to Oxycontin" This was a few years back and I only ever got to see a tiny bit of it. I've been looking online for a while for it but with no luck. I was just wondering if anybody knew where to find it. Either on something like YouTube, or on a torrent site so I could download it. Like I said I have already been looking for a while, but would really love to see it. Any help in locating it would be greatly appreciated.
It's about a chemical, Scopolamine, which is derived from a Colombian plant and can be used to drug people. Apparently it leaves the victim in a state where they are fully articulate and have normal motor function, but they have no control over their actions. Criminals use this effect to make their victims completely cooperative in the crimes. One victim said he was drugged and taken to a bank where he voluntarily withdrew all his money and gave it to the men (that drugged him) who were waiting outside. Pretty crazy shit. The CNN video is basically a report on a documentary from VBS.tv, who had a reporter go to Colombia to research the drug and it's effects. If you're interested, check out the documentary at VBS: http://www.vbs.tv/shows/index.php?show=Colombian%20Devil's%20Breath. It is in 9 segments which are located at the top right corner of that site.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure this is very similar to Datura, although it is (according to the documentary) refined by a chemical process to arrive at the final product.
