GAUHATI, India – The Indian military has a new weapon against terrorism: the world's hottest chili.

After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized "bhut jolokia," or "ghost chili," to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects, defense officials said Tuesday.

The bhut jolokia was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world's spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in India's northeast for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.

It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.

"The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories, a fact confirmed by scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization," Col. R. Kalia, a defense spokesman in the northeastern state of Assam, told The Associated Press.

"This is definitely going to be an effective nontoxic weapon because its pungent smell can choke terrorists and force them out of their hide-outs," R. B. Srivastava, the director of the Life Sciences Department at the New Delhi headquarters of the DRDO said.

Srivastava, who led a defense research laboratory in Assam, said trials are also on to produce bhut jolokia-based aerosol sprays to be used by women against attackers and for the police to control and disperse mobs.Bucky

I have tried a piece of ghost chili that was about blended up with some spices and stuff then dipped a chicken wing in it and thought i was dying.

The white ghost is the hottest pepper I have ever had. My reaction was very unpleasant. My friends thought it was funny in a masochistic way.

SVT, all I can tell you is I have eaten seven habanero pepper straight without anything, biting the whole thing off at the stem and chewing them up. No milk, no food nothing. I had said white ghost pepper in Karachi. I would venture to say Doug will back me up on this HAVE A CORPSMAN STANDING BY. If you want to experience it without eating one, just get a mapps gas torch, adjust it to a tight deep blue white flame and stick it in your mouth until it's out. LOL!    That about sums it up right.

I've tried a piece of ghost peppet that was mixed in on that chicken wing years ago. i didn't even like jalepenos then though.  SO now that my taste buds are refined/burnt out, i wanna givem another go. 
 
That guy on man vs food at that "four horseman" burger that was loaded with ghost peppers so its doable, I just wanna try 1
