Devil's Breath: Scopolamine, AKA Burundanga, Hailed As 'World's Scariest Drug'
Actually Scopolamine can be derived from several plants -- including the locally abundant datura plant (aka, jimson weed). The following claim is pure urban myth, but anything you see on Vice has to be taken with several grains of salt!

What's even scarier may not be just the drug's infernal applications -- but its sheer abundance. Any of three plants in the Solanaceae family can produce it -- and all of them grow freely throughout much of South America. And then there's the simplicity with which it can be administered. In the Vice documentary, a Bogota drug dealer describes how Scopolamine can be blown in someone's face -- and, just minutes later, 'you can guide them wherever you want. It's like they're a child."
