   Does anybody know whether scopalamine was used as a truth serum
   during WWII? More recently it has been used as a hypnotic.
   Iseem to remember somewhere that it produced LSD-like effects in
   large doses, and that this is what caused it to be used as truth
   drug. My psychopharmacology prof. mentioned it because of it's
   sleep inducing properties, but didn't mention anything else.
   Please reply by mail or to net.misc.
			Thanks in advance-
