OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
While truth serum is widely used as a means of information extraction, it does not effect everyone in the same way and particularly strong-willed people have been known to show a resistance to such a drug. The intent of the interrogation placebo is to combat those individuals by creating mild symptoms in them akin to poisoning so people are more inclined to reveal information in return for an antidote.
Those affected by the drug can potentially feel effects such as nausea, chills and sweating, intended to replicate the effects of poison without causing any lasting damage. The effect of the drug is mainly as a placebo as the administer of the drug will attempt to persuade those affected that they have been poisoned which will be supported by mild physical symptoms that can be exhibited by the drug. The person administering the drug should offer a false antidote in exchange for information to render the greatest effects of the drug.
- Intent: To create an alternative way to retrieve information from a particularly stubborn/strong-willed person.

- A different way of extracting information than using truth serum or a torture droid - though not wholly ethical as people are led to believe they are dying.
- While having the ability to cause temporary, unpleasant, mild symptoms, the drug is not damaging and has no long-lasting effects.
- Can be used multiple times on the same person through the use of a false antidote which is an inactive pill and generally the true nature of the drug can be kept secret as long as those who have been administered with it are still led to believe it is poison after they have taken the 'antidote.'
- The drug affects everyone differently and as the symptoms are intended to be mild, they may be too mild in some to render any meaningful effect which may bring the legitimacy of the substance coined as poison into question.
- This drug will have little effect (aside from potentially physical effect) on those willing to die rather than part with their information.
