Drugs as a weapon.

Last week's lecture (week 10) I found particularly interesting, especially with regards to LSD being used as a weapon by the American military, the very establishment that should protect its citizens as well as troops. Obviously not in this case...This drug was still in its experimental stage, therefore the side effects were damaging to the troops, although I appreciate the reasons why they took it. However, as Dave suggested, the long term effects were not considered when the testing began and many soldiers suffered as a consequence of taking LSD.

The American Government, (CIA) introduced the 'MK-Ultra Project' to experiment on soldiers, without consent. An invasion of soldiers minds and the scientist that carried out these experiments were Nazi scientists who previously had assisted Hitler in developing psychological warfare in WW2. The Nazi's then used this form of mind controlling warfare in the communities/countries that they occupied.
The drugs used were LCD and PCP.
With this evidence further experiments were carried out by the CIA, which were 'top secret' at the time. The American government abused its power and acted inhumanely towards its own people.
It goes to prove how far governments will go to create the ultimate weapon...
