'US used hallucinogenic weapons against Iraq'

[Thomas Seay]

It comes as no surprize to me that they would use
hallucinogens, however which hallucinogens is the
question.  There is a history of the CIA experimenting
with hallucinogens for use in mind-control...see Jay
Steven's "Storming Heaven" and "Acid Dreams"...the
History Channel, believe it or not, actually did an
excellent unbiased show on the history of LSD (which
included Grace Slick's testimonial that she had indeed
been invited for a lunch at the White House- she had
been a college mate of Trish Nixon- and had the
intention of dosing Nixon's tea with LSD- but was not
allowed into the White House because she was suspected
of being a "dangerous element").

In the late 50s early60s the CIA actually thought
about spraying a gas of LSD in a subway car in New
York to see what the effect would have on unsuspecting
hordes of people.
Instead they opted for "dosing" some of their own
scientists (without telling the scientists)...For
those of you who have taken LSD, and I have, you
probably could imagine what it would be like for it to
come on without having known about it beforehand. 
Anyway, one of the scientists actually threw himself
out of a window ( a story that people used to try and
scare their youngsters from taking the drug).  I think
his family is still involved in some kind of lawsuit
against the government over that one.

As it turns out, LSD did not turn out to be a good
mind-control drug.  And it has often been speculated
that it is quite the opposite...that it frees the mind
from the shackles of conditioning. However,  in a war
situation, I can imagine it being disorienting and
creating absolute terror.

The article mentioned Ecstacy....hmmmm, Christ, I
think if I got hit with Ecstacy during a war, I would
probably lay down my weapon and try and hug my enemy.
