     Scopolamine has been used as a "truth serum" in several ways:
By itself, in combination with morphine, and in combinations with
barbituates such as Sodium Pentothal. It's net effect in these combinations
is a high, dreamy state of dissociation that is inducive to the
revealing of information, particularly when the voice asking questions
is a friendly one...
     Of course, no drug presently known is a drug that elicits the TRUTH,
though certain drug combinations might relax one's normal guards enough
to loosen the tongue. 
     Has anyone heard of other interesting combinations in this regard?
