🔒 The ‘Zombie’ Truth Serum: A Drug’s Strange Trip from Healing to Interrogation
Description
In this bonus episode for subscribers of Causes or Cures, we uncover the strange history of a “truth serum” that began as a drug intended to ease labor pain but took an unexpected turn. First thought to compel honesty, this powerful substance soon became known for darker uses, from police interrogations to secret CIA operations. Over time, it even gave rise to modern “zombie” myths. Join us as we trace this drug's bizarre path, question its reliability, and consider the ethical dilemmas that continue to surround it. If a foolproof truth serum existed today, would it be a force for good or a Pandora’s box? Dr. Eeks shares her thoughts to that question and hopes you share yours.
