The CIA & LSD

Begin­ning with the CIA's research into LSD as part of its inves­ti­ga­tion of mind con­trol tech­niques, this broad­cast high­lights the pro­found role of the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity in the dis­sem­i­na­tion of hal­lu­cino­gens and the devel­op­ment of the recre­ational cul­ture attached to their use.

The CIA and mil­i­tary exper­i­mented with the drug (LSD) in a vari­ety of clin­i­cal and social envi­ron­ments. In addi­tion to pro­duc­ing psy­chotic and (in some cases) lethal results, this exper­i­men­ta­tion also served to infil­trate the drug into intel­lec­tual and pop­u­lar cul­ture. Writ­ers Aldous Hux­ley, Ken Kesey and Allen Gins­berg were intro­duced to the drug (directly or indi­rectly) through the national secu­rity establishment's LSD exper­i­men­ta­tion programs.

Tim­o­thy Leary's early research into LSD was sub­si­dized, to some extent, by the CIA. Later, Leary's LSD pros­e­ly­ti­za­tion was greatly aided by William Mel­lon Hitch­cock, a mem­ber of the pow­er­ful Mel­lon fam­ily. The financ­ing of the Mellon-Leary col­lab­o­ra­tion was effected through the Cas­tle Bank, a Caribbean oper­a­tion that was deeply involved in the laun­der­ing of CIA drug money.
