Reply to comment by Gemmabeta in TIL: Asthmador was an asthma treatment in the US in the 1950s. It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan

Isn't scopolamine the Angel's trumpet stuff that makes people highly suggestible? (also motion sickness patches)

It is what they used to use together with morphine (Twilight Sleep) to knock out women giving birth so they'd sleep through the entire process.

But you'd have to be given a pretty high dose to get to that point.
