Legalize the use of psychoactive medication for interrogation in the Philippines? yes or no?

Otherwise known in medical field the colloquial name- truth serum. To obtain information from subject who are unable or unwilling to provide it. A very useful tool in the on going trial of the century of the century concerning Napoles, Sentors Revilla/Enrile and Estrada and et. al. First introduce by Dr. Bleckween in 1930 and widely use by the US government in investigating civil and criminal cases an for the evaluation of psychotic patients in the practice of psychiatry.

Such as ethanol, scopolamine, 3-quinucidinyl benzilate, midazolam, flunitrazepam,temazepam, sodium thiopental or otherwise known as sodium pentothal and amobarbital or amytal. We obviously want to speed up the trial of every case, this way we can some how extract something concrete from the accuse or suspect. For example Napoles cannot remember anything in her last session with the Senators. With the help of such medication, and with the consent of the accuse/suspect to determine the guilt of each individual. Once it is a law then they have no choice but to undertake the medication.

But some of you might say, it is not proven that it is effective, although that is partially correct, nevertheless we can armed our justice system with a tool that can expedite the process, better than nothing I suppose. And there is no side effect that are known in taking such medication. And perhaps develop more about its potency so that we can use them in every trial in the Philippines, especially cases were the suspects literally refuse to answer. Better than beating them up. For me I will say yes for this project.

Now let us see the objection or the no answer. Why?

    Good idea but slightly illegal & immoral. But who cares? They are just politicians

    Why not just "water board" them? Starting with Napoles and finishing with Enrile.
