And probably pretty common in horse pastures as we...

I saw this bumper sticker in 'toga this past summer:


"Good jockeys don't let horses win trippin"

Or was it "Trippin' horses don't let bad jockeys cross the line"?

Before Dr. Gonzo enters the discussion...Buscopan, a relatively new drug used to treat colic in horses, is a derivative of scopolamine.

I thought that was the case but I didn't post it because I wasn't sure if my memory was accurate.

I read a story once that it is also the new date rape drug in some south american countries....it makes people zombies and unlike some other date rape drugs, with this one the amnesia prevents identification of the offenders.

Sounds like you may have used it on someone before...

LinksI posted state scopolamine is used in Thailand, among other places, to drug tourists and rob them. Says most people on this drug wind up in the hands of authorities first(before the mental hospital) as they acting very bizarre. A book on chemicals studied by the U.S. in the 1950's, states the effects of a very similar compound to Jimson weed(scopolamine) causes delirious states of mind for a day or two. One interesting side effect was the "smoking of imaginary cigarettes"
