If One Pill Can Kill... My Advice is to Not Eat Fentanyl at All... BUT... For Safety's Sake, Why Not Take Half a Fentanyl and then Wait an Hour before Taking the Other Half... OR Not... Maybe a Half Pill Got You High Enough?

Of Course... If You are High on Fentanyl You Might NOT Be able to Make a Valid Decision about Taking Another Half Pill... The Questions "Am I High Enough" might be Just Too Damn Tricky!

My Advice is to Not Eat Fentanyl at All... One Pill Can Kill.

Why Not simply Eat Cannabis Cookies and Drink Coffee instead? In Many States in the USA, Cannabis Cookies are Legal and Quality & Dosage is Tested... I found that eating Two Cookies and a Large Cup of Strong Coffee Got me Plenty Stoned...

and then I Rode the Monorail to The Space Needle in Seattle... I Played the Musical Toys at the Experience Music Pavilion... a Tribute to Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain...

I Remember that in the 1970s We used to Cut our Windowpane LSD Gelatin Squares into Four Pieces and Eat One Quarter... Just to Verify that it was Actually Real... often the "ACID" Sold to Teenagers was a Witches Brew of Compounds that would make you feel strange... NOT ACTUAL LSD... and the Only Way to find out what it was... Was to Eat a Quarter Dose and wait an Hour... Often I would Realize that It WAS Good Quality but That I was ALREADY HIGH ENOUGH... So I'd Give away the rest...

One Reason I Recommend Against Fentanyl is... I Don't LIKE the Opium High... Yes, I Felt Like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland... My Body Vanished and All I Had Left was my Grin... BUT... It made me feel Nauseous... Queasy... You See, "they" Sold Smoke-able Opium in the Parking Lot of The Grateful Dead Concerts... and It was an Excellent Combination with LSD... Because Often LSD Made me feel Anxious... but Opium Calmed me Down... I remember one time I visited the National Art Gallery at the Smithsonian... and totally GROKKED the Paintings... then Went to a Tangerine Dream Concert at the Warner Theater... Excellent!

and then I Read a Question on FaceBorg:

Can lab grown meat replace the real meat?

and I Replied:

If Corporations can make more money selling lab meat then pretty soon that's all that will be available... I Remember in the Asimov Book Foundation: The Son said "MOM! Not Zymoveal Again! I Hate That!" when they sat down for dinner...

Isaac Asimov in 1953 described in "The Caves of Steel" feeding the burgeoning world population with a yeast-based food he called "zymoveal"

Mary Pinchot Meyer gave LSD to JFK and Then He Decided to End the Vietnam War in 1963. Defense Contractors had him Assassinated to Protect their Profits. Mary was a Girlfriend of JFK and...

She was part of a movement to give LSD to the Leaders of the World. The top scientists, business leaders, artists, poets, actors, politicians, writers, musicians and athletes were to be given LSD and then they would use what they learned while high to rebuild society. The cosmic knowledge was to be distributed from the top down in order to create a better world.

We Will Never Know If This Is True or Just a Conspiracy Theory... Mary did keep a diary and right after she was assassinated, her friend Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee took the diary to The CIA and they gave it to Mary's Sister and She BURNED IT! One of The Many "Summertime Bonfires" that Year...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Pinchot_Meyer

I've always wondered about the MOTIVE for JFK's Assassination... Dow Chemical and Hughes Aircraft Made a Fortune selling Supplies to the US Military during the Vietnam War... a Newly Enlightened JFK was a "Problem" - Solution? Have a Patsy "Hit" Him... The "Hit" the Patsy...

CIA/LSD American History

"The Search for the Manchurian Candidate"

by John Marks

MKULTRA: Was a CIA Mind Control Project in the USA during the 1950's and 1960's. 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. and The "Whole Earth Catalog" was Written by Stewart Brand... His Book was Useful for Hippies that wanted to Go Live Off The Land and become Subsistence Farmers... or Marijuana Farmers... He was Also a Test Subject for MKULTRA.

Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics - Swirling Colors

https://mangu.tv/did-jfk-drop-lsd/
The notion that JFK experimented with LSD has many intriguing implications, highlighted here by Dr Ben Sessa:
‘JFK had close relationship with socialite painter Mary Eno Pinchot Meyer and she was also in close relationship at the time with Tim Leary. Mary’s friendship with the president was intimate, and, meanwhile, her regular visits to Leary in Harvard made sure that plenty of cannabis and LSD found its way into the Whitehouse during 1962 and 1963. Mary considered herself on a secret mission to propagate LSD to as many powerful members of the government as possible in order to spread the love and avoid nuclear war. Leary confessed that he felt Mary was at least partially successful in encouraging the president to take a few steps closer to nuclear disarmament because of the transformative influence of LSD. But we may never know the truth of what went on between Mary Eno Pinchot Meyer and Kennedy, as she was mysteriously murdered – a year after Kennedy – in 1964.’

In his 1983 autobiography, Flashbacks, Leary himself refers to a plan amongst Meyer and her socialite friends to give LSD to influential government officials and thereby direct the superpower away from the Cold War and a nuclear Armageddon. He also mentions a phone call from Meyer soon after the JFK assassination, during which she allegedly blurted:

“They couldn’t control him any more. He was changing too fast… They’ve covered everything up. I gotta come see you. I’m afraid. Be careful.”

"Conspiracy Theories" that are ACTUALLY TRUE. MKULTRA, Cointelpro, CIA-Contra-Cocaine, Donald Rumsfeld Selling Weapons to Saddam Hussein, UFOs are Real... Sometimes people dismiss Truth as "Just a Conspiracy Theory" because they Don't Want to Debate the Facts...

50th anniversary of the Summer of Love... The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was

radically different After the 1960's...

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

Here is a conspiracy theory that was published in 1995 in an underground 'zine...
https://erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_media1.shtml

"The High and the Mighty: JFK, MPM, LSD and the CIA"
============================================
Steamshovel Press #12
by G.J. Krupey
1995

:: I Get High with a Little Help from My Friends... ::

As recorded in a report prepared for a congressional committee
investigating the CIA's mind control experiments (171), among
the goals of the MK-ULTLTRA project were to develop:

o "substances which will promote illogical thinking and
impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be
discredited in public"

o "materials to render the induction of hypnosis easier" -
"substances which will produce 'pure' euphoria with no
subsequent let-down"

o "materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia
for events preceding and during their use"

o "substances which alter personality structure in such a way
that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon
another person is enhanced"

o "substances which will lower the ambition and general working
efficiency of men."

As examined above, the CIA planned to use LSD as an aid in the
interrogation of captured enemy agents, as well as a sort of
prophylactic for training American agents in resisting
interrogation in the event of capture. Another usage of the
drug planned by the Agency was as a clandestine confusion agent,
to be slipped in food, drink, or whatever to foreign leaders and
politicians of a leftist slant in order to reduce them to
quivering, hallucinating blobs of flesh, gibbering deranged
nonsense in public speeches, embarrassing and disgracing
themselves before the public and in the eyes of the world.
(172)

Of course, the CIA claims that such a use of LSD was never
contemplated against domestic targets. But the Agency, in
violation of its own (pre-Reagan) charter, gathered domestic
intelligence right from the start, and during the height of the
anti-war movement, coordinated Operation CHAOS with the FBI,
military intelligence, and various police departments, to
infiltrate and disrupt those pesky peaceniks. (173) The CIA
intercepted and opened mail, tapped phones, ran smear campaigns.
(174) As we have already seen, during the heyday of MK-ULTRA,
the Agency tested LSD on unwitting-US citizens, in conditions
that were far from clinical and in ways that were nowhere near
being "scientific." They even used each other as guinea pigs.
And there are still unanswered questions about what role, if
any, the CIA might have played in inundating the 1960s counter-
culture with LSD and other drugs during a crucial period, or
even if they possibly created the counter-culture, through
unforeseen circumstances, or even as the ultimate MK-ULTRA
experiment in mass psychological control and manipulation
through drugs.

Too absurd to even consider? Then stop reading now, you won't
be able to take what's coming next...

There is something about the story of Mary Meyer-as-JFK's LSD-
mistress that, if true, is naggingly bothersome. Like the
assassination itself. it demands clarification, insists on being
solved. Recall the plans of Al Hubbard and Humphry Osmond to
make the world a better, more peaceful place with the
application of psychedelic chemical therapy to certain hand-
picked politicians, and their claims of some success. All this
quite a few years before Mary Meyer's similar campaign: was it a
case of like thinking evolving from acid insight happening in
two different places and times, or was Mary Meyer possibly
acting as an agent for Hubbard and Osmond, or someone who was
their direct agent? Consider the Leary connection to Mary Meyer
in light of his connections to Hubbard, Osmond, and Aldous
Huxley. Consider Hubbard's career as an undercover agent for
various government agencies and defense related industries,
including his connection to the CIA. Consider his later career
spent fighting against the youth counter-culture that one would
otherwise think he would have been proud of as being the fruit
of his labors. Then consider Mary Meyer herself, estranged wife
of one of the CIA's seminal top operatives, and her affair with
a president who developed a mutual distrust for the CIA, a
president who swore he would shatter the CIA into a thousand
pieces and scatter the remnants to the wind. A president
believed by many to have been assassinated by that same CIA.
Consider the CIA sex and drugs safehouse experiments conducted
by George Hunter White. Consider the proposed use of LSD as a
means of discrediting foreign leaders. Consider the list of
substances developed by the CIA, or attempted to be developed by
the CIA listed above.

Now consider this: was John F. Kennedy, president of the United
States, the ultimate MK-ULTRA guinea pig? Was Mary Pinchot
Meyer playing some sort of clandestine game, was she some sort
of Mata Hari? Or was she perhaps unwittingly being used by
someone in that capacity?

After all, if we can seriously consider a CIA ready, willing,
and able to assassinate a president they came to see as a threat
or a traitor, why not a CIA willing to dose a president with LSD
and study him as a test subject? What other world leader could
they try their theories out on while observing him in closely
monitored, intimate situations?

Still too absurd to consider? Probably. I hesitate to even put
it on paper myself. But that isn't even the most bizarre
possible theory...

While LSD is not guaranteed to permanently alter the thought
processes of those who experience it, despite the frequent
claims to the contrary often made during the 1960s, it certainly
will give those individuals possessed of some intelligence and
discernment a lot to think about. During the time period when
CIA agents were furthering the scientific testing of LSD by
dosing each other without warning, most agents had their already
well-entrenched paranoid worldviews reinforced: to them, LSD was
a nightmare experience, one to be avoided at all costs. But to
some it was truly a revelation. One agent, after coming down
from the peak of a trip, broke down and wept in front of his
fellow spooks.

"I didn't want to leave it. I felt I would be going back to a
place where I wouldn't be able to hold onto this kind of beauty.
I felt very unhappy. The people who wrote the report on me
said I had experienced depression, but they didn't understand
why I felt so bad. They thought I had had a bad trip." (173)

He was lucky they didn't slap a straight jacket on him and cart
him away for good!

Another operative who came away from his trip without the usual
paranoid residue common to spooks on dope had found himself with
"A more global view of things. I found it awfully hard when
stoned to maintain the notion: I am a US citizen- my country
right or wrong ... You tend to have these good higher feelings.
You are more open to the brotherhood-of-man idea and more
susceptible to the seamy sides of your own society...I think
this is exactly what happened during the 1960s, but it didn't
make people more communist. It just made them less inclined to
identify with the US. They took a plague on both your houses
position." (174)

Certainly, this is a self-defeating philosophy for a spy to
adopt. Did such experiences tempt any CIA agents to chuck it
all, or to stay only to subvert from within? It's a farfetched
speculation, with little evidence to support it. While there
were several notable CIA renegades who would come to public
knowledge with horrible tales to relate of their activities as
covert operators, such men as Phillip Agee, John Stockwell,
Ralph McGeehee, George O'Toole, and David MacMichael seem to
have been impelled more by the resolution of their own troubled
moral dilemmas than by psychedelic insight.

However, one obscure theory, most likely, implausible yet
fascinating, comes from Lawrence Livermore, North California
punk rock luminary best known for his column in punkzine Maximum
Rock 'n Roll. Livermore claims to have once met a fellow who
claimed to be the son of "a high level CIA operative who had
inside knowledge of the Kennedy assassination" which he
described as "a power struggle between the liberal and
reactionary wings of the CIA." This fellow ran away from home,
went to the Haight-Ashbury and blew his mind on ... well, you
know what by now (as well as the irony of the situation ... ),
but by the time Livermore met him, he was "in the process of
drinking himself to death." The gist of this wretched fellow's
tale was that:

"Within the CIA there were good and evil factions, and when the
bad group ("the dark ones"...) threatened to gain complete power
via the Kennedy assassination and the escalation of the Vietnam
war and its related heroin trade, the CIA's white knights struck
back with LSD." (175)

It should be noted that Livermore's informant wove a tale that
"tied together Tibetan monks, Hitlerian mystics, secret
brotherhoods dating back to the days of Atlantis, and the
manipulation of white and black magic in the name of saving or
enslaving the human race, and would hiss at the televised image
of Henry Kissinger and say, "He's one of them..look at his eyes."
(176)

It's hard enough to believe merely when it's a tale of black and
white "knights" of the CIA jousting over control of the nation
and the minds of the human race, when the other elements are
added to it, it sounds more like an episode of the continuing
saga of Indiana Jones, or maybe one of Trevor Ravenscroft's
satanic fantasies.

Livermore himself gives the impression that he finds the story
"far-fetched-sounding, yes, but minus the quasimystical
elements, by no means preposterous." (177) Could it have been
possible that some faction of CIA agents, their typical cold war
super-patriot minds blown by acid, indeed flooded the country
with LSD, not as part of some plot to forestall change or stifle
rebellion, but to encourage it, especially in the aftermath of
Kennedy's assassination by their dark counterparts within the
agency? It would not be entirely improbable, if we remember
Captain Al Hubbard and his plans to foster world peace by
turning on world leaders even before Mary Meyer. And if Kennedy
and Mary Meyer were pursuing an acid dalliance, with crucial
repercussions for foreign policy, would it be too hard to
believe that possibly it was due to the influence of somebody or
something else, some self-appointed clique of mystic
manipulators, perhaps, denizens of the clandestine world and
adepts of its covert activities yet ultimately rejecting the
goals of that world, running their own program and agenda
beneath the cover of something much more banally insidious, like
the CIA's MK-ULTRA program?

Well, it would make a good novel anyway...

Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics - Swirling Colors

A CIA Employee Spoke to Millions of Americans and said: "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out." - Was That the DEPLOYMENT of Project Mkultra?

That's Exactly What Happened in the Late 1960s... Dr Timothy Leary (Author of the CIA's Personality Test) Went Coast to Coast Encouraging Young People to Eat The CIA's Miracle Drug, LSD and...

Stop Protesting Against The War in Vietnam...

because They Were Too Busy Being Holy Men, Saints... and Wanted to Play the Guitar all Day... and Go Live in the Country and Grow Vegetables, Weed and Children... and Make Paintings, Pottery and Tie Dye T-Shirts... Write Poetry... Etc, Etc, Etc...

and All of those Interests Added Up To NOT Being a Menace to The Military Industrial Complex... Dropping Out...

SO... Was "The Sixties" part of the CIA Project Mkultra? The Part Where they Actually USED LSD as a "Weapon" Against "Enemies" in the Hope that We Would Simply Lay Down Our Arms and Surrender... In a Way They Were Successful BUT... They Had Not Taken Into Account People Like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Country Joe McDonald and Grace Slick... Who Used LSD to Promote The Protest Against The War in Vietnam (and The 1950's American Culture In General.)

I Said: "Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients Decide for Themselves what Treatment is Best... Legalizing Recreational Psychedelics is a Great Idea TOO.

Legal LSD Would Be Manufactured by High Quality Scientists and PURITY, QUALITY and ACTUAL DOSE would be Regulated. Often ILLEGAL ACID is Not LSD at all but some other chemical, Like DOM (STP) a Three Day Nightmare Trip... People That Buy Ecstasy Often Do Not Get Actual MDMA but get A Bizarre Combination of Methamphetamines and WHO KNOWS WHAT!

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... They wanted to test if it was possible to cause people to start believing what they were told to believe... useful for control of a nation of sheep...

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. It would be a good survival strategy to become skeptical. That way, you don't end up a gullible fool.

Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics

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...

BRAINSPLICE: Center of the Cyclone by John C Lilly. http://www.johnclilly.com

MKULTRA: The Leary personality test was developed for the CIA by Dr. Timothy Leary years before he became famous for being the "ACID GURU" The title of Leary's Ph.D. dissertation was, "The Social Dimensions of Personality: Group Structure and Process."
http://www.markriebling.com/leary.html

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. A remake with Denzel Washington expands upon the theme by making the puppet masters a multi-national corporation. Quite a realistic premise given Halliburton and Blackwater's insane behavior...
"Conspiracy Theory" stars Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts and Patric Stewart. Mel names MKULTRA as the source of his troubles... What, you never heard of Blackwater ???

Dr. John Lilly did experiments involving electrodes being inserted into the brains of monkeys and letting them push a button that caused a feeling of pleasure. He also invented the Isolation tank. The Movie "Altered States" is quasi-biographical. The Movie "The Day of the Dolphin" was about his research into man-dolphin communication.

MKULTRA: One rumor is that after the CIA sponsored LSD tests were completed in Palo Alto on Ken Kesey, Robert Hunter (lyricist for the Grateful Dead) and Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog), the CIA allowed them to create the traveling ACID TEST that featured the musical performances of The Grateful Dead. The agency just wanted to see what would happen if millions of people took LSD in uncontrolled situations... It always amazed me that we were able to trip in public in crowds up to 80,000 people without adult supervision or mass arrests. Just co-incidence? I don't think so. I think the CIA was just curious... They wanted to see how effective it would be to dose millions of people. Would they become docile and easily controllable? Now, we find that Bob Wier and Mickey Hart have joined the "Bohemian Grove" club... known as a men's summer-camp visited by republican political leaders and the super-rich... Did they get invited because they could perform well at campfire sing-alongs? I hope so...

MKULTRA: The mystery of Mary Pinchot Meyer. She was a friend of John Kennedy and supposedly gave him Marijuana and LSD while at the White House as a guest. Then, a few days after his assasination, she was killed and the crime has never been solved. Her family gave the CIA her diary to help them figure out what happened, and they claim to have burned the diary-unread... She was a friend of Timothy Leary.

A group of women were turning on the top 1% of the men in society: political leaders, movie stars, artists, scientists and business leaders. The idea was to change the whole world by changing the minds of the leaders...

MKULTRA: In Canada, Dr Ewan Cameron had a hospital where he tried to help mentally ill people by months in sensory deprivation and endless LSD trips. The victims had to listen to tape recordings of their own voice expressing their deepest fears. This "psychic driving" technique was supposed to destroy the victims ego and create a clean slate to build a brand new person... Eventually, the country paid $700,000 to the survivors of the experiments. A movie called "The Sleep Room" was made about his hospital. In a bizarre twist, the head of the World Psychiatric Association (Dr. Cameron) did unspeakable torture to his patients... as if he was the MOST mentally ill of all. All funded by the CIA.

MKULTRA: The mysterious death of Dr. Frank Olson. He was a US ARMY employee that was dosed with LSD without his knowledge and then got upset. He sought psychiatric help and then a couple of days later died after he went out a window of a hotel on the 13th story. Fell, jumped or was pushed? no one knows. President Gerald Ford gave the widow $750,000 for settling out of court.

http://maebrussell.com/Frank%20Olson/Frank%20Olson%208-8-02.html

This is the conspiracy theory... The CIA wanted to test what would happen if large numbers of people were dosed simultaniously. 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...

"One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest". That book was an account of madness in a hospital... sort of like his experience with LSD at the MKULTRA sponsored hospital in Palo Alto run by Dr Sidney Gottlieb... read more at:

The music of the western world changed dramatically... The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, The Moody Blues, Country Joe and the Fish, The Grateful Dead, Cream and countless others used their experience to help them compose... Speaking of experiences, what about the Jimi Hendrix Experience?

And the ART! Peter Max... Mouse Kelley, Rick Griffin, Hipgnosis...

And the Books!
Carlos Casteneda: The Teachings of Don Juan.

Rockefeller Commission:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_President%27s_Commission_on_CIA_activities_within_the_United_States

The commission was created in response to a December 1974 report in The New York Times that the CIA had conducted illegal domestic activities, including experiments on U.S. citizens, during the 1960s. The commission issued a single report in 1975, touching upon certain CIA abuses including mail opening and surveillance of domestic dissident groups. It publicized Project MKULTRA, a CIA mind control study.

On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said:
"The Deputy Director of the CIA revealed that over thirty universities and institutions were involved in an 'extensive testing and experimentation' program which included covert drug tests on unwitting citizens 'at all social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign.' Several of these tests involved the administration of LSD to 'unwitting subjects in social situations.' At least one death, that of Dr. Olson, resulted from these activities. The Agency itself acknowledged that these tests made little scientific sense. The agents doing the monitoring were not qualified scientific observers." source: Congressional Record.

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.
