Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments.

One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets...

Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated "local foot products".

Mr Albarelli said the real "smoking gun" was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident." In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965

LSD doesn't make you insane.
It doesn't make you think you can fly.
It's not cut with rat poison.
It doesn't eat holes in your brain.
It doesn't destroy your chromosomes, alter your DNA, or make you sterile.

Etc.

LSD comes from the mold of some types of wheat.

Bread is made from wheat....

Expect us to believe this story?

How about tracing the source document instead of relying on someones interpretation of events. I simply don't believe it. This is one of those things that should be verified before accepting as fact.

although i do agree with most everything here i dont agree with one thing...

if lsd made me think i was in rode rash 3dO game, grass growing in front of my eyes, seeing a desert in black n white in my living room while my friend looked like the dude from all those megadeth covers as well as my cats whiskers reaching the far ends of my room then i suppose you might believe you can fly but i never thought i could fly.

lsd is a wonderful drug as well as a crazy scary drug.

The article fails to mention that, being French, the village immediately surrendered to Timothy Leary.
