(oblongata 2)

(LSD is a psychoactive drug developed by the military to compel someone to tell the truth whether they want to or not. It was to be used to facillitate interrogations of prisoners. LSD, of course, went on to become a recreational drug that produced euphoric hallucinations in its users, and its initial purpose was pretty much lost. Instead of creating a new substance for the weak-willed to abuse and escape reality, the truth serum the military was looking for had been available for centuries: alcohol. Since a drunken stupor tends to releave most people of their stubborn inhibitions, some will "spill the beans" readily when intoxicated, and will tell you everything you need to know. I'm not advocating we physically force others to become intoxicated to get good info out of them, but pay very, very close attention to people who are intoxicated. Take a little time to probe them, ask some engaging questions to get the ball rolling, and you'll usually gleen more information than you thought was available).
