I know that this has been posted before but there appears to be more cases of this drug now. It comes from a plant called Angel's Trumpet or, as the Dominicans call it, campana, and is apparently used to drug victims, who can then be robbed or raped.
It was reported by Nuria recently here http://endominicana.net.do/2017/10/...rundanga-droga-que-te-roba-tu-voluntad-video/
and also here

Not only is it used to drug people (it has none or little taste or smell so is easily put into drinks or food) it is also being used in the barrios as a recreational hallucinogenic drug - they make tea with it.
However in stronger doses it can lead to delirium, psychosis, paralysis and death. According to the local clinic here, they are beginning to see more and more cases of people having been drugged with it.
It has also been linked to several deaths in the US (this link in English).

So if anyone suddenly starts feeling weird, hallucinating, dry mouth, rapid heart beat - get yourself to the nearest hospital.
