Absolutely The power of the "voodoo priest" is twofold. He uses the belief system of the adherent to create fear. The substances that he uses are also very efficacious. The practitioners of "voodoo" use powerful psychotropic agents and narcoleptics. They also use the "neurotoxins" found in cane toads and the puffer fish. Voodoo is far more than fright, the drugs administered by practitioners of voodoo are in and of themselves a tool. Voodoo flourished in Haiti because many captured slaves escaped from the docks of Port au Prince. The ones who escaped were doing so after a gruelling voyage, they were strong. They fled into the Haitian interior and took unadulterated African "voodoo" with them. "The Ton Ton Macoute rules the night"
