Tripped

Nazi Germany, Mind Control and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age

Norman Ohler
In post-war Berlin there was a widespread drug problem, even as the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics started investigations into the Nazis’ experiments with LSD as a weapon. Norman Ohler uncovers the links between this period and the CIA's notorious brainwashing experimentation programme, MKUltra, which also sought ways to use psychedelics as a form of mind control or truth serum.
