   VICE: Columbian Devil's Breath   
   25 Mar 16 00:45:48   
   
   From: Paul.Duggan@jcu.edu.au   
      
   A friend was saying they were really getting into watch VICE documentaries and   
   told me about this one about a really scary drug called "Devil's Breath" which   
   criminal gangs would put a drop of in a tourist's drink, blow it in their face   
   or stab with a    
   coated pin.  This put them in a trance (but they look aware) and then they are   
   told to empty their bank account and other things...   
      
   I tried watching it, but the gonzo style and interviews with random strangers   
   (not to mention the "I didn't believe it when I was given the story, but once   
   I talked to people...") just yelled beat-up.   
      
   I didn't get far through it before giving up, so I don't know if they have any   
   real information.  However, I was googling it while watching and discovered   
   that the powerful drug in question I'd taken as a sea-sick medication.  I   
   don't recall falling into    
   a trance.  (But I guess I wouldn't.)   
      
   Anyone bother to watch the whole things and does it stay as dodgy as I   
   thought?  Or has anyone seen any other VICE documentaries?  Are they all this   
   bad or was that just a bad example?
