LSD AND THE CIA

LSD was invented in Switzerland by Sandoz Pharmaceutical Research Fellow Albert Hofmann. It naturally did not appear as a gift from God of Ghetin High among young people of Western countries. CIA began to sour long before flowers. Thus, just like the big timing timers, Henry Ruth and his wife Claire Booth Ruth, they just praised their magical mysterious journey in the early 1960s. Henry was a solid conservative with a close relationship with the CIA, who had previously poured acid on the golf course but claimed to have been talking to God for a while.

Beginning in the 1950s, the CIA started a research program code called Project MKULTRA. Experiments include LSD treatment with CIA staff, military personnel, doctors, other government agencies, prostitutes, psychiatric patients, and the public, and are intended to study the reactions. This project was published in the report of the Rockefeller committee of the US Congress in 1975. In 1963, Sandoz's patent expired in LSD. Some people such as Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, Al Hubbard and others are beginning to advocate consumer LSD. LSD has become the center of anti-mainstream culture in the 1960's. In the early 1960s, the use of LSI and other hallucinogens was supported by new supporters of consciousness augmentation such as Leary, Huxley, Alan Watts, Arthur Koestler, according to LR Veysey, has great influence on the new generation It was. The idea of ​​youth

In the 1950s LSD first appeared on the American stage when I studied the use of LSD as a "truth drug" that US military and CIA could use to tell prisoners. This has led to a psychiatric community that is interested in LSD, as LSD may have therapeutic capacity for people with depression, psychosis, epilepsy. As mental health experts and research participants began to distribute drugs among their friends, illegal use of LSD began to escalate in the late 1950s and 1960s. LSD can only be obtained through contact with the medical field until the LSD black market emerges in the United States in 1962. LSD was illegal in 1966, and soon the LSD black market appeared. Users are beginning to encounter increasingly "new" LSD issues. And it is polluted and poor quality than medical grade LSD they are familiar with. Despite its low quality, from the mid-1960s to the latter half, LSD was the best medicine for "hippie".
