Summary of Martin A. Lee & Bruce Shlain's Acid Dreams

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The use of drugs by secret agents had been a part of cloak-and-dagger folklore for years, but this would be the first concerted attempt by an American espionage organization to modify human behavior through chemical means.

#2 The OSS tested the drug on themselves, their associates, and US military personnel, and they found that it made their sense of humor extremely funny. But there were also those who experienced toxic reactions, and they would not be able to discuss anything.

#3 The CIA used narcohypnosis and a combination of two drugs with contradictory effects to interrogate subjects. They tried to keep subjects in a stuporous limbo as long as possible.

#4 The goofball approach was not a precision science. There were no strictly prescribed rules or operating procedures regarding what drugs should be employed in a given situation. The CIA interrogators were left to their own devices, and a certain amount of recklessness was inevitable.
