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.

well...in bourgueois society they could have a use to pacify radical movements and faking casus belli for AES (like venezuela), but it seems that most communists are against them because they're not useful for anything more than entertainment or brainwashing (but why would you as a communist use them to brainwash people?)

I think you are reading what I said wrong. I was never trying to imply that I wanted to brainwash or mind control people. I was trying to discuss how the CIA's MKULTRA program showed the possibly that LSD was being used to perform other covert tasks.
