HISTORY: Scopolamine, the Real Life Truth Serum

What began as an analysis of pop culture quickly becomes a descent into the seedy underbelly of unethical interrogations of the 1920's. Scopolamine has been studied as a real-life truth serum drug, and is heavily featured in the video game Far Cry 5. Our hosts discuss the other attributes of the compound and whether the stuff really is a truth serum. This is NOT your physician's podcast.
