MK Ultra
LSD 25, yuuhhh! We're not as tripped out as we'd hoped to be when learning about Project Artichoke and its subproject, MK Ultra. This episode is all about the unintended discovery of a mind melting drug, acid, and how the CIA tried to use it to spread "American values" to other nations and even its own citizens. Buckle up, we're about to go for a far out journey!
