Damn good points, Jim. While we are on the subject, look at the main ingredients of Scopolamine: 1) Belladonna 2) Sodium Penethol We are talking some hard core shit here. An additional side effect of scope is "Sudden Death" (no, I'm not joking). Scope was one of the ingredients (other being Morphine) in "Twilight Sleep" which was popularly given to mothers during childbirth back in the 60's. We are talking imperfect (and dangerous) solutions for an imperfect world. If you are going to try one of these please keep in mind that you are playing with potent and dangerous drugs. Scopolamine can kill you and Dilantin changes your brain chemistry. I really really wish ginger and soda crackers worked for me. Has anyone tried hypnosis?
