“Of the drugs that CIA and Army scientists tested, LSD-25 seemed to have the highest potential for use in warfare and intelligence gathering. The government studied and utilized LSD extensively from the early fifties until 1963, when they stopped using it in favor of a stronger hallucinogen, BZ. Around this time, psychologists who had been steadily building an impressive amount of data that supported the therapeutic efficacy of LSD, were forced to halt their research also.
Certain psychologists, such as Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Richard Alpert of Harvard University, refused to comply with the new LSD regulations. They were dismissed from their posts and proceeded to educate the public about the spiritual and therapeutic effects of psychedelic drugs.”
