What happens to the army if you give them LSD?
This is documentary evidence of an experiment testing just that, carried out on British marines in 1964...

  • all types of soldiers have been used as guinea pigs since time began. the public never finds out about these things until the victims have bad side effects or some unexplained illness consumes them and their families, then they have a hard time getting help from the jerks who used them. it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The CIA and other US government agencies performed similar and somewhat more drastic experiments as well, google MK ULTRA.

  • This wasnt isolated to britain. During the 60's the US army conducted similar experiments. Also the CIA's use of the drug became rampant. They would kidnap random artists in San Fransisco and observe the affects. LSD became so prevalent in the CIA that at a christmas party some agents apparently dosed the punch bowl! haha now that would be a funny government gathering

  • I think the only way I could ever be persuaded to teach grade school would be if I had some of this *special water* on hand for the students around snack time...

    Am I an awful, horrible, science-experiment-abuser if I now daydream about doing this to all of the world's military forces all at the same time?

  • As the wife of a U.S. Marine. Sh*t like this worries me and pisses me off. The govt. takes years to change its ways and believe me when I say, who knows wtf else they're hiding from us today.

  • That's what got Timothy Leary demonized by the admin and Gordon Liddy to get him thrown in jail because he dared speak out against the CIA program of trying to use LSD for mind control.

    The reason why it doesn't work is because LSD depends a lot on the mindset of the person and the setting it's used in. So if you're given it by cynical people in a place where people are out to get you then you're going to end up with self destructive paranoid delusions.

    If you use it as Timothy Leary recomended by a therapist that you've built up trust with in an enviroment that is stress free then you can end up letting go of a lot of the blockages and behaviors that can hold you back.

  • This is crazy. The government giving soldiers acid??? I'm not sure I would like to be secretly dosed by the government, then again at least I wouldn't be paranoid about the "man" finding out about my mental state. The soldiers looked like they were having fun. It's refreshing to see soldiers smile, even if it was nearly forty years ago.
