Free will?

So, according to this article, there is a drug called burundanga, which is rumored to possibly be able to take away a persons free will, which raises great inquiries about free will and the neurology that allows us to possess it, if we do indeed have it. If there is a plant that can shut off one's free will, then that instantly eliminates the possibility of the soul existing. Because only something physical can be affected by something physical, that negates the possibility of the soul.
Another interesting thing this article brings up is the possibility that certain chemicals can tamper with our 'free will' which means that our free will could be easily influenced and manipulated. Could our will be not as free as we thought?
