Popular Science on weaponized oxytocin

As part of a short series on various scary-sounding scientific innovations, they give special concern to the possibility of weaponized drugs in general. The short article mainly discusses oxytocin, in this kind of context:

Last year, bioethicist Malcolm Dando warned that calmatives are part of a paradigm shift in the biochemical-weapons world and that we shouldn't weaponize drugs, especially if we don't fully understand them.

Seems like sound advice to me.

Piss on that logic! Weaponize 5-meo-dmt and watch the collective consciousness of the room splatter against the nearest wall into a blob of either white or black. Then slaughter the effected that reported "black" experiences, as it's intrinsically evil. Such an ambivalent existence, that of a chemist. Please, violently intentioned sociopaths, take my life's work and fulfill whatever morbid wartime fantasies you might have. Sure, I don't own any patent rights to any of my research or chemical synthesis, but just remember to point a finger at my underpaid ass when your sick endeavors blow up in your face. Let the world know who's REALLY responsible.
