Based on what I've read about other side effects, any positive gains made in the person possibly telling the truth would be negated by the drug's side effects (profuse sweating, elevated heart rate, etc.) causing normal 'lie detector' monitoring tools being rendered ineffective.
- stephengillie 13y agoOn one side, I thought we were discussing using a chemical to enforce truthfulness instead of a device. On the other side, I'd never thought of using an intoxicant to invalidate lie detecting devices.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoIf I were in the...truthing...business, I guess I'd want to back up any use of a chemical with some secondary form of validation.
- stephengillie 13y agoBut all chemical truthing methods would invalidate your mechanical truthing methods...
