A blood pressure pill could help people forget bad memories, according to a Dutch study published Sunday.

The generic beta-blocker propranolol weakened a person's fearful memories of spiders in the test group, making it a possible treatment for individuals with anxiety disorders and phobias, Reuters reports.

"We could show that the fear response went away, which suggests the memory was weakened," said Merel Kindt, a psychologist at the University of Amsterdam, who led the study.

The blood pressure pill reportedly has the potential to help those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Oh, we learned about this in first year university chemistry class, it's based on the chemical used by Queen Bees in beehives to suppress bad memories or thoughts of dissent against the Queen.

What Pill, Citizen? There are no such Pills. All Thought is free and voluntary. To suggest otherwise is to be Unhappy. Unhappiness is Treason. Treason is punishable by death.
