Rizz and Tim explore a chapter of warfare that’s rarely discussed openly: the long, complicated history of soldiers going into battle under the influence of drugs.

From ancient warriors using herbs and mushrooms to induce rage or numb fear, to modern armies distributing stimulants to keep soldiers awake, aggressive, and mission-focused, this episode traces how chemistry has been used to manufacture the “ideal” warrior. Along the way, it confronts the consequences — addiction, trauma, and the psychological fallout that follows when the war ends. As Stupiracy connects ancient battle rituals to modern military experimentation, the episode raises an unsettling question: where does the line between tactical advantage and human cost actually exist?
