A drug used to elicit truth and confessions in Heaven.
(If any innocent outsiders should think this courtroom use of alcohol a barbarous expedient, and should be moved to denounce Chalakanesian culture on that account, they should reflect that witnesses in the courts of Barth Banchup Bakchakris are routinely drugged with heavyweight tranquilizers in an effort to quell their entirely legitimate fears of prompt assassination, and that Heaven's courts continue to make use of babbletongue, for all that the best alienists insist that that alleged truthdrug is likely to disorder the very memory it claims to unlock. Let us not, therefore, be too quick to denounce our Chalakanesian neighbors on account of the minor delinquencies of a single judge).
