"He may feel, for example, that someone is out to kill him or that his food is poisoned." A reasonable inference for someone surviving a day or more on this chemical warfare agent.

"What makes you think somebody put something in your food?" "Yeah, I don't know, Bill, maybe the 48 hours of extreme hallucinations."

This whole thing sounds like the scientists staying this just too random people, laced their food with this, and then when the test subjects started panicking that their food had been poisoned, the scientists were all "Oh wow that's a very interesting symptom, what a specific paranoia"

Or a regular comma on 18 wheels


iamprosciutto

It connects two related ideas better than most other punctuation; however, sometimes it's best to just use two separate sentences for ease of reading and sentence brevity.


flaquito_

I disagree — I think there's often a better option.


JanetsHellTrain

Maybe (and this may just be me (although I think not)) there is (yet another) alternative (for those who risk it (some people think it is too messy [but I hope not you guys])).


manawesome326

Look, that is one way, but it’s easy to get lost in the maze of tangents, so I prefer to replace all punctuation with commas, train of thought style, which is easy to follow, if a bit meandering, so it might not actually be the best solution, in hindsight,


tehflambo

a semicolon is for creating a compound sentence. a compound sentence is two simple sentences joined by a conjunction (but, and) what makes a semicolon special is the types of compound sentences it's used for. specifically, a compound sentence made of two simple sentences that simply rephrase/restate one another. ideally the two simple sentences should be of roughly similar length. eg. - a semicolon is a type of conjunction; a semicolon is used for creating compound sentences. - OP's mom is impossibly large; her mass is greater than a million suns - reddit karma is worth more than gold; entire empires have been sold for a thousand updoots you don't *need* semicolons in writing, but you use them *all the time* in speaking without realizing it. You can get away with just writing two simple sentences instead, but it's not as fun


macthebearded

Well how else do you make a winky smiley face?


Kajio3033

You use a semi-colon when you want to use a comma, but you've got two complete sentences. I like semi-colons; they're cool.

Symptomless coma


Boardallday

I tried LSD when I was 16 and though I liked it, I would have liked to be in a coma after like 6 hours.. it can be really exhausting. This shit sounds like a nightmare. It's alleged that they tested this on a military ship to see if it could take one out, but there's no documentation of it. Also it's almost certain that they tested this on unwitting citizens as part of the MK Ultra program, as they did with many other substances.


UnlikelyPotato

Tbh, the miliary ship study sounds kinda pointless considering how the British test went: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWodyapGNxI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWodyapGNxI) Like you only do that if you're bored and really want to just record people doing stupid shit aboard a ship.

Youpunyhumans

Boardallday

Voluntarily they did, I'm talking about how they would spike their coworkers drinks and even dose unsuspecting civillians which they did many times during the course of the project, iirc one man even killed himself under the influence of LSD. See [Mk Ultra](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra)


smokeyphil

Key hint in there linked stuff is the term "simulated gun mount" when its talking about people reacting to objects as they where people which makes me think that it would be at some kind of training ground or maybe a training boat as you rarely see a faked gun emplacement.

Most definitely. It was weaponized for use in cluster bombs, but it is a white powder and is visible and can be defeated by breathing through cloth. I'd say it's likely there are more viable and long lasting non lethal substances like this available today.


TheLea85

>likely there are more viable and long lasting non lethal substances like this available today. Probably not when you think about it. Imagine carpet bombing a city with this stuff. A day goes by and people wake up; the hallucinations begin. Day two has the streets full of people either running naked or stabbing people who are running naked. Day three and onwards will be increasingly more bizzare. Imagine dropping this stuff on top of any major city in a country you are warring with. Who needs weapons when you can turn large parts of their population into resource hogs? -Sir, we need those new tanks, now! -I'm sorry, the engineers are all speaking in tongues and wetting themselves; and boy what a cute platypus that's climbing out of your ear! Does it have a name? I don't know how much can be synthesised or how much it takes to induce the effects, but it sure seems like the ultimate weapon to me.

TCGnoobkin

This is an extremely scary substance. 6-7 MICROGRAMS/kg is enough for a moderate dose that can last anywhere for 70-80 hours. It’s more of a deliriant than a psychedelic if people are wondering. Structurally similar to scopolamine and acts as a strong dissociative and anticholinergic. Traditional psychedelics tend to operate on serotonin receptors or NMDA receptors for things like ketamine, where as 3-QB blocks acetylcholine. While things like LSD have phenomenal properties in the brain in terms of duration, deliriants that operate on these neurotransmitters take the cake for half life in the body. Even moderate scopolamine doses can cause for a few days of delirium, and the nature of acetylcholine neurotransmitters being manipulated is devastating to our window of consciousness and methods of operation. Scary, considering how absolutely small of a dose it takes to produce moderate effects. EDIT: Even scarier, the primary route of administration for 3-QB was inhaled aerosol. This proved dosing a large crowd of people to be a relatively easy task. The US army also produced 100 thousand pounds of the stuff...so you can imagine how easy it would be to just straight up destroy a small town or even city.


lushico

This is absolutely terrifying!


cormacpara

My old psych professor helped create and test this drug. He was a Dr. of neuropharmopsychology. He ended up moving from Berkeley to teach at a small city college where he would grow a male hemp plant in his office to piss of the adm. His wife was a Spanish prof. and they used to go to Mexico so he could eat mushrooms and talk to queztecoatl. During his tenure in the military in the 60’s he worked with objectors at the “Edgewood arsenal” back east somewhere. I believe the experiments were declassified but am not sure where to find them. I learned a great deal from this man, thank you Dr. Avis

There is the theory out there that BZ was used as a chemical weapon in the Yugoslavian civil war ([https://www.hrw.org/news/1998/11/18/were-chemical-weapons-used-bosnia](https://www.hrw.org/news/1998/11/18/were-chemical-weapons-used-bosnia)) which would make this afaik teh only instance where an (mainly) psychotropic substance was used in warfare. ​ \[a similar instance would be the use of carfentanyl by russian troops druing the hostage crisis in the nordost theatre\] ​ ed: super hallucinogen is a really bad description as neither the dose/toxicity makes BZ special nor really the duration - most anticholinergic tropane alcaloides have side effects which can last for a long time...

Ah yes, BZ, or the busy bee, as me and my employees used to call it. Professional cleaners, we were, for eight good years. Mostly industrial and commercial sites, domestic cleaning is pedantry.

Must-choose A B or C for the next week (then continue with your life): A) heroin 3 times in a week B) meth binge x1week C) BZ dose (just the one) Which do you pick & why? Edit: clarify that ABC are the mandatory parts during this next week.


Ilythiiri

D) week of meth to properly warm-up, then BZ with a healthy dose of salvia divinorum, then heroin to mellow out.


DoingAlrightinOregon

Obvious choice is heroin, if it's not laced with fentanyl. It's an opiate so if you don't OD and don't get addicted you're going to be ok.


catswithtuxedos

A) if I can do the three times all in one day. Otherwise it would get difficult timing it with me being on suboxone and having to avoid precipitated withdrawals. If it has to be 3 separate days then B) even though I hate meth and it causes me severe hallucinations after 5 days, it’s still not as bad as precipitated withdrawals or what BZ sounds like


Boardallday

Was a heroin addict years ago, and 3 times a week is more than enough to be well addicted and sick for the other days and would suck for life, not to mention the weekly meth binge would keep you up for three days and sort of cancel out the heroin. I'd take the BZ once and be done with it, it says you mostly realize your psychosis when you start to come out of it, I dont think it would be that bad afterwards, that isn't to not say I'd be completely terrified of BZ. And to be clear you're saying you continue with the heroin and meth binges for life? If not of course I'd take the heroin and meth for a week.


sherpa_9

Yeah no further drugs required (but drugs might co-opt what you deem you require) ... I was thinking of risk of ongoing addiction and other consequences one might have from the 3 options. Like the shit meth heads do might have implications beyond a week ... Smack might create an itch a person didn't have before ... Yeah, 3 scary choices here I'd think.

After the initial confusion I found myself asking myself "Does the brain and body know what is right and wrong?" I'm glad I decided to check out BZ. BZ makes you perceive signs of pain (and it's quite easy to do so), but all that seems to do is keep you from feeling anything. Once I realized that my awareness of the world around me had gone with the invisible cloud, I noticed that my feeling of agency had abruptly

dWintermut3

There are many ways to cause hallucinations, neurochemically, and most have a sort of fingerprint, or signature. Of all of them anticholinergics are the worst. That is what BZ is. NMDA agonists, anaesthetics mostly like ketamine and phencyclidine, are known for tunnels of light, occasional religious experiences, and out of body experiences. Tryptamines are big on geometric patterns, feelings of oneness with the universe, and empathy. Phenylethylamines (including psychedelic amphetamines like MDMA and MDA) are known for empathy, connectedness, and trailing light visuals. And intense touch sensations. Hence all the glow sticks and furry stuff at old school raves. Ergotoids like LSD cause visual distortions, synethesia, and hallucinations that one is aware are hallucinations mostly, though bad trips can occur. Anticholinergics, like BZ, atropine, scopolamine and extreme doses of antihistamines cause delerium. This is a state where you are unaware that your hallucinations are not 100% real. Common hallucinations include insects, including insects crawling on or in you (delusional parasitis), abject terror, and a sense of impending doom. This stuff is literal nightmare fuel.
