First off I'll post from an article I read then I'll discuss it:

After inhaling the "Devil's Breath," victims have been known to wake up with no
memory of withdrawing their life savings and giving it away. Scopolamine,
dubbed the "Devil's Breath," is often referred to as the most dangerous drug
in the world. Mainly prevalent in South America, the drug is used to commit
the perfect crime -- while under the influence of scopolamine, someone could
convince you to willingly withdraw and give away your life savings from your
bank account, but you would wake up and remember nothing.

What's particularly unsettling is that anyone could be unknowingly sent under
scopolamine's strong spell within seconds. The drug comes in a powder form,
and according to a documentary by VICE, people have been known to ask for
directions and pull out a map sprinkled with the drug, or hand over a
drug-soaked business card. Then, with just a quick blow of the powder into the
victim's face, he or she will expectedly lose all power of free will.

Scopolamine, also known as burundanga, is derived from nightshade plants. The
drug is odorless and tasteless, and in high amounts, can be lethal.

Yet another drug in the list of many that can be used in interrogations to
have you spill the beans on anyone and everyone.  The center for reasoning
and that part of your brain that stops to consider things before doing them
is inhibited or at least greatly impeded.  Basically you tell them whatever
they want to know and ... yes, like the other drugs ... you forget that the
whole experience ever happened.  Yet one more thing to worry about if you're
in the enemy's land and you get captured.

I wouldn't suggest even playing with this stuff as a high dose can be fatal.

Cheers!
