Medellin: Inside the sex tourism capital of Colombia - 727Sky - 08-24-2024
What a sad old story of how to make money... A new drug that knocks people out with just a touch or a whiff..
Quote:The city of Medellin in Colombia has been on a bit of a journey: from notorious home of the drugs cartels and Pablo Escobar, to newfound haven for sex tourism and now to a city where dozens of men die in mysterious circumstances, often after arranging to meet women on dates. With nearly a hundred cases in the last few years, our Latin American correspondent Guillermo Galdos has been to investigate. He found a city where organised crime is still rampant, but branching out into the sex trade. And now the tourists are being targeted, with a deadly local drug nicknamed Devil’s Breath.

A new twist to a very old game. Find a stranger, entice him into an alley or other secluded place using his own vices and greed against him, then take him out by whatever means are available and relieve him of any valuables that he may posses - then leave him for dead where he lies.
Scopolamine, too, is nothing new, nor is it unique to Medellin. It was, I think, in 1608 or 1609 that some soldiers stationed at Jamstowne Fort in the Virginia Colony were laid low and made batshit crazy for a number of days because their hunger over-rode their good sense, and caused them to eat some plants they knew nothing about. One of those plant was "Jimson weed", datura stramonium, which is rich in scopolamine. It is said that Jimson weed is named for that incident, that it is a corruption of "Jamestowne weed". It's also called "Devil's lettuce", disturbingly similar to "Devil's breath" in this report.
I've no doubt that, sooner or later, our "imports" will bring the practice here to our own shores as well. There is no shortahe of easy arks in America whose greed and avarice - and unseemly tastes - will cause their appetite to overload their ass - and their good sense.
Just a word to the wise - it's NEVER a good idea to go looking for strange in strange place among strange people. What you fin is almost always more than you bargained for...
