Sounds like these were, as described above, real amyl nitrate capsules. I had access to them while in the military. I was a weapons specialist/NBC non-com. NBC is short for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical. Amyl Nitrate is used as a slowing agent for a Persistent Nerve Agent. Pop the capsule and inhale if you have been exposed to nerve agent. The slowing of the blood pressure shortens the infultration of the agent into the blood stream was the theory.
Now, that was 20 years ago, so I am sure that things have changed since then, but I remember "popping" that capsule and getting a great head rush! Mix that with some great weed and I am in a sex whore...but that is another story for another time.
