Up until recently I personally only knew of a handful of professionals experienced in this area.
One person of importance is; Stephen M. Pittel, PhD
Dr. Pittel is a well known forensic psychologist who specializes in both civil and criminal cases that involve the effects of drugs and alcohol.
His forensic work is based on a thirty year career as a pioneer in the field of substance abuse research and treatment. As the Director of the NIMH funded Haight-Ashbury Research Project in the mid-1960’s and the founder and Director of the Berkeley Center for Drug Studies from 1972 to 1985, he has published more than 150 scientific papers and reports on the causes, patterns of use, and effects of LSD and related hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana, amphetamines, cocaine, heroin, PCP, alcohol and other sedative-hypnotic drugs.
Dr. Pittel is also an expert witness and forensic consultant for the criminal use of
... Scopolamine / Burundanga / Devils Breath
It is my understanding Mr. Pittel however is recently deceased
But due to the increasing criminal use of Scopolamine, so is the need for experts in this field.
Meet Dr. Camilo Uribe; head of Bogota Colombia toxicology clinic
Briefly, here are some of his statements w/ links to access the pages where he made these statements about the criminal use of Scopolamine / Burundanga / Devils Breath;
"When a patient (of U.S. date-rape drugs) is under hypnosis, he or she usually recalls what happened. But with scopolamine, this isn't possible because the memory was never recorded," said Dr. Camilo Uribe, the world's leading expert on the drug.
"It's like chemical hypnosis." * Ms. Mide should probably read this one as her ignorant "anonymous" email to me indicates (That story can be viewed here )
"A lot of times, the victim can't even remember what the criminal looks like. So it's very difficult to arrest anyone,"
"Most criminals now use laboratory-produced scopolamine from the black market".
"It's epidemic"
"From the momet its given, the victim remembers absolutely nothing of what happened. From a criminal standpoint, its got a lot of advantages"
Meet Dr. Miriam Gutierez;
"From a medical point of view, it's the perfect substance for criminal acts because the victim won't remember anything, and therefore, won't report anything."

Isobel Crooke: Some say it's a gas, some say they use powder, other people say they give you something to drink, sweets, all sorts of thing, you know. So quite honestly it's frequent here.
Ramiro Fonnegra Gómez: The other form is with the flowers, bark or leaves, mainly the leaves, which are rolled into a type of cigarette. It's lit, the person takes a drag but doesn't breathe it in and then the smoke is blown at someone who they want to knock out and rob.
Juliana Gómez: The most common situation is for example, people who are in a bank, trying to withdraw some money, or in a bar, when the victim is alone, and the criminals can put the powder or the substance in their drinks, or in their skin.
Yolanda: They rob themselves and they kidnap themselves, but under the orders of other people and the effects of the burundanga.
Even these days they say in the News that it is used on people to harvest their organs in different parts of their bodies. They use it to knock people out.
Isobel Crooke: But I mean amongst the Indians, I know that the Muisca people, the Chibcha, they used it precisely when they were going to sacrifice someone. So precisely the person sort of lost all control, he didn't realise what was happening, he took things very happily, and then of course, down came the knife and cut out his heart. But it seems to take away pain and it also seemed to leave the person completely unconscious of what in fact was happening, though he was sort of with it, in a way, you know.
Ramiro Fonnegra Gómez: There is a town here in Antioquia called Segovia, which has a reputation as a town where the women are witches, because they say that when they are attracted to a man he subsequently falls in love with them. But it's not really the case that they actually fall in love, it's more that the women look for a way to slip him a dose of borrachero, so they lose their freewill and stay with them. The women continually give their lovers small doses of the plant, in their breakfast, coffee, drinks, so they remain with her forever. This was common when the gold mines were active in Segovia because it was a source of pride to be able to marry a foreigner. So, don't go to Segovia! This is what Ms. Mide did to my husband except she did it with the help of Jessakid Mide and together they used hypnosis on my husband (read the blog and learn. Start here)
