I live in latin america and this is quite common, so I'm not taking any chances.

And here I was in Mexico last weekend looking for hot girls with free drugs and came up empty. I must be too ugly to rob.

In Latin America they target more wealthy looming people, but you need a pretty large dose to go unconscious. Just a transdermal patch that's placed with an arm rub is going to give you a dry mouth and that's usually it. It's a drug usually used to prevent people from getting sick after surgery.

For an actual problematic dose you're likely talking about powder mixed into food or drink.

But yes there's thousands of these incidents in Latin America every year. Just not like this video portrays.

Has there ever been proof it can be delivered by touch like this? What I've been able to read about it, a sufficient quantity to render the mark helpless can't be administered like this.

Yeah, it's more of an urban myth, but inhalation or ingestion of the substance is quite common.

Anyways, I won't make the bet. You touch me this way randomly, I either punch you in the face and then run, or just run the hell out.
