Title: Chemical Warfare test?
Post by: Blakenzy on September 26, 2009, 09:58:48 PM

Assuming the clip is real... what were they trying to do with this test? See the posible effect if it was employed on enemy troops? Anyway, funny video.

LSD was tested extensively on troops of various militaries in the 60's and 70's, I'm not sure what the purpose was.

Probably to find a drug that would allow soldiers to ignore being shot and continue to fight.

I personally wouldn't give LSD to a rocket-launcher team.  :laugh:
It appears that it was a chemical warfare test of sorts:

In United States v. Stanley 483 U.S. 669 (1987), the United States Supreme Court found that a serviceman could not file a tort action against the federal government, even though the government secretly administered doses of LSD to the serviceman as part of an experimental program, because his injuries were found by the lower court to be service-related.
