Inside the Army's Far-Out Acid Tests

wired.com — Dropping acid to boost the Pentagon's psychic powers was just the start. For the real dope on the Army’s narcotics and psychedelics tests, you have to turn to Dr. James S. Ketchum, who wrote a firsthand account of the military’s trials with these “incapacitating chemical agents.”

  • joejitsu, on 11/06/2009, -0/+8I wonder if it was the CIA who was supplying all the acid to the hippies in the 60s and 70s. That would blow their mind if their rebellion was just a government experiment, and their money funded the CIA.
  • DesertTripper, on 11/06/2009, -0/+3Whatever the outcome of the actual experiments, you can be sure that the drug warriors wasted no opportunity to spread lies and exaggerations in order to freak out the general public.

    Psychedelics may save mankind yet. No one is going to start a nuclear war while pondering the structure of the threads of the universe.
  • moo113, on 11/06/2009, -1/+3James Ketchup named his son Ash because that's what was left after smoking his mother.
  • sheepsta, on 11/06/2009, -2/+3That would make my day haha, I know at least 5 old hippies who would go ape ***** if you even suggested that to them.
  • MrBoog, on 11/06/2009, -2/+3I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.
  • boogerthecat, on 11/06/2009, -2/+2During the Cold War we facing the possibility of being vaporized by hydrogen bombs. Extinction baby. No coming back. Instant death for the lucky ones, a slow linger painful death for the rest.

    I can't fault them for looking for every/any possible edge.

    PS- there are still over 30 thousand nuclear warheads in the arsenals of the worlds nuclear powers and an unknown number in the hands of god only knows who.

    Sleep well. We are on borrowed time.
