What is a "truth drug"?

A truth drug is a substance believed to cause a state of truthfulness or increased willingness to reveal information in a person. These drugs are often described in stories and spy scenarios as a drug capable of overcoming unwillingness or hesitation and causing individuals to share secrets or information they would not share otherwise. However, in reality, there is no reliable or widely accepted truth drug that consistently produces these effects without significant ethical and practical challenges. Therefore, the concept of truth drugs remains debated and controversial in scientific and medical circles.
