I was on Wikipedia reading about the show "24" and of course ended up on sodium pentothal and then Project MKULTRA.
Anyway, I read most of the text for the article on Project MKULTRA and was sort of amazed at how crazy the whole thing was. Hooking up a patient with an IV of barbiturate in one arm and an IV of amphetamine in the other in order to see if it worked as a truth serum? I'm no doctor but I can tell you that's a good way to kill someone (which it ended up doing).
Not quite sure of what the point of this post was... I'm just sort of amazed at the whole thing. This whole thing was to figure out mind control techniques for use in the Cold War?
Ah, people. :beer: :beer:
