Strongest Drug in the World

Ever heard of a drug that will eliminate your free will? Bet you havent, but in Colombia exists a drug of this magnitude. It is called scopolamine and it seemed to be so completely out there and impossible to comprehend . It is obtained from plants of the family Solanaceae. In some cases the drug has caused confusion, agitation, rambling speech, hallucinations, paranoid behaviors, and delusions. In medicine the drug can be used to treat nausea and motion sickness, intestinal crampingand as a general depressant and adjunct to narcotic painkillers. Even though the drug seems to have been helpful in treating some common cases as well as heping with addiction, I dont think it's worth the risk of dying. Scientists should run more tests on the drug to see if it can do more harm, but as far as taking it, I dont think people should take it.
