They were looking for a way to use drugs as weapons of war. For example: LSD as a way to simply get the "enemy" to lay down their arms, voluntarily... like, too stoned to fight...
The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey and Robert Hunter both were employed. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead.
Just co-incidence?

The OSS (predecessor to the CIA) agent Edward Hunter created a new word for the English Language: BRAINWASHING: to cause a person to radically change their beliefs...

We can see that many people believed the LIES told by George Bush and voluntarily supported the invasion of IRAQ... Congress funded the war and teenagers joined the ARMY because they BELIEVED THE LIES! Two people are required for LIES to be effective... The TELLER of the Lies and the BELIEVER of the Lies.

"Think for Yourself and Question Authority" -Timothy Leary
Would the knowledge learned by years of research be useful in our present day war in the Middle East? Could we use psychedelics to reduce the will of the enemy to fight? Change a whole culture into Pacifists?
What would happen if ten million muslims ate LSD ? Would they put down their guns and pick up a guitar? Write some POETRY? Become HIPPIES?
Supposedly MKULTRA ended, but we hear rumors of it being continued in 2007. Amy Goodman interview on Democracy NOW with Jose Padilla's psychotherapist makes the claim that during his 3 1/2 years in solitary confinement, he was dosed with LSD as part of the interrogation... no proof, because the hallucinations of sensory deprivation are indistinguishable from those caused by eating psychedelics. The victim would not be able to tell the difference...

One result of LSD use is the realization that we are all one... Countries and borders become obviously fake... The only REAL lines on a map are coastlines... The absurdity of going to war is exposed... Why would we travel halfway around the world to kill strangers? That's why hippies rarely VOLUNTEER for the Army... The death business holds no facination... It could be that LSD use provides a biological survival value... Darwin survival of the fittest... If there is a voluntary death cult like the US ARMY... some brainwashed people will join and die... Guaranteeing that their genes will not be passed onto the next generation... slowly breeding the warrior gene out of the species... Hippie men will laugh at the concept of joining the military and go sing love songs to ladies... a lot more fun!
After all is said and done, we do have to thank the CIA for making LSD so widely available and popular... If they had never done project MKULTRA, then millions of people would not have been introduced to psychedelics...
MKULTRA: What they learned was that the most effective way to brainwash a person is to start training them at birth. The agents at the CIA have a long history of using themselves as test subjects. They would slip LSD into each other's drink just to see how it would work in an operational setting... George Bush senior was employed at the CIA as the director. Is it possible that he used his own son as a brainwashing test subject?
Now that you suspect that George the Son was trained from birth to be a pre-programmed robot, does not his behavior seem understandable? He says "GOD" told him to smite Saddam... could that not be an implanted thought to be triggered later? He would have no understanding of reality because all he has ever known is the world created for him by the Agency... He appeared to be waiting for someone to tell him what to do on the morning on 9/11/2001 while he read "My Pet Goat" with children after being informed of the second plane crash...
The Motion Picture "Manchurian Candidate" explores the possibility of creating a brainwashed assassin. The original stars Frank Sinatra and Angela Landsbury. It's one of the finest movies ever made.

The did an experiment with an exploding lightbulb filled with LSD in the New York City subway system. This delivery method was a failure... a few people were dosed heavily and the mass were not dosed at all... An alternative delivery technique was to dissolve LSD into a beverage and give it away free to a large crowd of people. This technique is errily similar to what happened at the Acid Tests...
Just co-incidence???
I believe that the CIA felt that people who had had the LSD experience were less likely to protest the War in Vietnam... Those people would have a tendency to drop out and go practice subsistence farming in rural communities instead of participation in the violent overthrow of the US government. This belief seems accurate... Hey, I live in Humboldt County, California... I'm not really that interested in revolution... more interested in ART, MUSIC and webpage design...
To furthur add to the mystery, it seems to me that there was very little law enforcement in the parking lots of the concerts.
Obviously, everyone knew that it was easy to find and purchase illegal drugs there. Somehow, the police simply decided to
not enforce the law at the shows...
Sure, some people were busted and that was a tragedy, but,
for years a triving illegal business community followed the Dead around... or did the Dead follow the community around?
After all is said and done, we do have to thank the CIA for making LSD so widely available and popular... If they had never done project MKULTRA, then millions of people would not have been introduced to psychedelics...

How U.S. Interrogators Destroyed the Mind of Jose Padilla
By Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!. Posted August 17, 2007.
http://www.alternet.org/story/59958/
Jose Padilla has been found guilty in court and faces possible life in prison, but forensic psychiatrist Dr. Angela Hegarty explains after interviewing him that Padilla already paid the ultimate price through torture -- he's lost his mind.
According to his attorneys, Padilla was routinely tortured in ways designed to cause pain, anguish, depression and ultimately the loss of will to live.
His lawyers have claimed that Padilla was forced to take LSD and PCP to act as a sort of truth serum during his interrogations. (JUST LIKE PROJECT MKULTRA)
Origins of the term "brainwashing"
The term brainwashing first appeared in the English language relatively recently. Author John Marks writes that a journalist later revealed to have worked undercover for the Central Intelligence Agency first coined the term in 1950.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Hunter_(U.S._journalist)
Edward Hunter (1902-1978) was an American journalist, author and intelligence agent. He is credited with popularizing the use of the term "brainwashing" in English, and collected a large number of examples of Chinese Communist propaganda targeted at the (largely illiterate) population in the immediate post-revolution period.
The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey and Robert Hunter both were employed. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead.
