I have been pondering these ideas. I am not saying they are right, I just want other’s thoughts on them. I am not against psychedelics, so wondering how they could be used since they were a big part of the CIA’s MKULTRA program.
There is an idea that the CIA helped the Nicaraguan Contras ship cocaine to start the crack epidemic to take weaken black resistance like the Black power movement.
There is another idea that psychedelics was used to pacify college students instead of having radical anti-war activists that they would create Hippies.
MKUltra didnt end with the drug experiments, they rightly concluded it didnt work and then moved on to things that actually work - behavioral psychology.
The consequences of that can be seen in reality, the torture regiment implemented in black sites in the middle east and gitmo are both using doctrine that was created following the later MKUltra experiments on how to break someone psychologically.
