In today's article, we are going to talk about a series of magical plants that have been used since time immemorial and that, in recent years, have gotten quite a bad name. We are talking, of course, about the burundanga plant, with all its varieties.
Let's start by answering a basic question: What is burundanga?
And it is that, although popular ignorance has led to the association of burundanga with a single plant, the truth is that burundanga is the "popular" name given to a drug found in different types of plants..
Burundanga (or scopolamine, which is the technical name for this drug), is found in some very common nightshades in Spain, such as henbane, thorn apple, scopolia, mandrake or brugmansia.
The burundanga drug, therefore, is a chemical substance that is found inside different plants. To make the parallel, the same thing happens with marijuana, whose active principle is THC, and the plant is only a "vehicle".
It is important to note that the burundanga plant (or plants, rather), are very easy to find. In fact, they grow in any stream or mountain in Spain (and of course, in other regions of Europe and America).
Since burundanga does not require great chemical knowledge (unlike what happens with the conversion of coca leaf to cocaine, for example), burundanga can be obtained at very low prices..
The effects of burundanga have much to do with its ability to act by depressing nerve and brain endings, and, although there is some myth, the truth is that it has certain amnesic and chemical submission powers.
Chemical submission is a process by which, with chemical products (in this case, burundanga), it is achieved that a person is not able to react, and becomes practically a slave of the one who has given him the drug.
It is precisely because of this power that burundanga has that it has been used as a truth serum by a huge number of espionage agencies, including the United States of America..
Given that this state of chemical submission occurs, which places the body in a position of automatism, in which the victims of burundanga receive and execute orders without question, drugs have begun to be used as a tool for robbery and rape..
However ... what is true in all this?
It is always difficult to write this type of content, because you face an entire establishment promoted by the big media, viral networks on the internet, and mass hysteria..
Of course, when someone is faced with an issue of this type, it is best to go to the experts, and not be guided by the opinions of this or that person, who would be completely unable to distinguish whether they have suffered a scopolamine poisoning or a drunkenness.
And, although in recent times stories about women raped with burundanga have become fashionable, the reality is that, today, the drug most used to sexually abuse women is alcohol.
There are two types of archetypal burundanga stories: men or women who drug a person of the opposite sex on a night out (either to abuse her or to rob her), and people who are doused with powder or spray and automatically leave to have control over themselves.
The first case is real (note that there is not much difference with a drunkenness), and the second case is false. And yes, you may not believe me ...
But ... What do the experts of the burundanga say? Opinions on the matter are not lacking, but the media seem more interested in creating social alarm than in paying attention to what experts in the sector say.
And what the experts in the sector say is that no substance is instantaneous and that all of them need time to act (this is said, for example, although not exclusively, by Patricia Quiroga, professor of toxicology and legal chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires).
So yes, you may get burundanga in your drink and after a few minutes almost completely nullify you. But do not be afraid that someone will ask you to look at a paper and turn you into a zombie because said paper is impregnated in burundanga.
The latter is already part of the myth.
As you can see, burundanga is a dangerous drug, due to its high toxicity and because it nullifies the person who consumes it, but it does not become as powerful a weapon for criminals as is often led to believe through the media..
