New Research Finds CIA Used Black Americans as Drugs Experiment Guinea Pigs

y now, many will be familiar with Project MKULTRA. For decades, the CIA
conducted highly unethical experiments on humans in order to perfect
brainwashing, mind control and torture techniques.

Perhaps the program’s most notorious aspect was the administration of
high doses of psychoactive drugs to targets, particularly LSD. These
substances were brought to Langley’s attention in 1948 by Richard Kuhn,
one of 1,600 Nazi scientists covertly spirited to the U.S. via Operation
Paperclip following World War II. When MKULTRA was formally established
five years later, some individuals consulted directly on the project.

The unwitting dosing of U.S. citizens with LSD is infamous; among those
spiked were CIA operatives themselves. That the Agency exploited mental
patients, prisoners, and drug addicts for the purpose – “people who
could not fight back,” in the words of an unnamed Agency operative – is
less well-known.

A study by academics at the University of Ottawa’s Culture and Mental
Health Disparities Lab sheds significant new light on this underexplored
component of MKULTRA and illuminates a hitherto wholly unknown dimension
of the program; people of color, overwhelmingly Black Americans, were
disproportionately targeted by the CIA in its service.


Spoken of as animals and treated as such

In 1973, due to fears CIA covert action might be officially audited in
the wake of the Watergate scandal, then-Agency chief Richard Helms
ordered all papers related to MKULTRA destroyed.

Tens of thousands of documents somehow survived the purge. Even more
conveniently, a significant portion of the research yielded by the
project’s experiments was published in freely-accessible, peer-reviewed
scientific journals, as over 80 private and public universities,
prisons, and hospitals – whether knowingly or not – conducted
psychedelic drug experiments on behalf of the CIA. While LSD was the
preponderant substance of interest, the effects of DMT, mescaline,
psilocybin, and THC were also extensively explored.

In all, the University of Ottawa team analyzed 49 of these papers,
published from the 1950s to the 1970s. Forty percent related to
experiments conducted at the Addiction Research Center in Kentucky,
which the CIA directly managed.

The site included a prison for individuals charged with violating
narcotics laws, a “special ward” for drug research, and a prison
populated by purported “addicts.” Researchers employed there avowedly
preferred to perform tests on former and current drug users, as they
were considered to be “experienced” in the effects of illicit substances
and therefore better able to give informed consent than the abstinent.
In practice, the CIA’s guinea pigs frequently had no idea what was being
administered.

In analyzing available literature, the academics examined participants’
stated race and ethnicity, recruitment strategies, methodology, and
potential dangers to participants. All studies used captured,
incarcerated test subjects, coercive incentives for participation,
unsafe dosing levels, and had questionable scientific merit.

In almost 90% of cases, at least one ethical violation was identified,
over three-quarters employed a high-risk dosing schedule that would be
unacceptable under modern guidelines, and 15% used participants with
psychotic disorders. Roughly 30% exploited people of color.

While in many studies, the race or ethnicity of test subjects was not
recorded, further investigation by the Ottawa academics revealed Black
Americans were significantly overrepresented in the recruitment sites
from which test subjects were drawn. It is inevitable that the actual
number of MKULTRA studies that abused people of color is far larger. For
example, while people of color constituted just 7% of Kentucky’s
population at the time of experiments at the Addiction Research Center,
Black and Mexican Americans represented 66% of the site’s inmate population.

In any event, that people of color suffered to a far greater degree than
White test subjects at the proverbial hands of the CIA is starkly set
forth in the experiments’ bloodcurdling details. For instance, a 1957
study records how numerous vulnerable individuals were psychologically
and physically tortured, in particular one Black participant, who was
described by researchers as if he were an animal and treated accordingly.

Dosed with LSD, he exhibited a “wild frightened look” and asked for
“medicines to relieve his fear.” Their response was to place him in
restraints and administer a further cocktail of drugs at far higher
doses than other participants – whose race was not recorded – and to
continue doing so against his will.

Similarly, the previous year, an experiment was conducted in which Black
participants were given 180 micrograms of LSD each day for 85 days,
while White participants received 75 micrograms each day over just eight
days. One Black subject had a “very severe” reaction to their dosage and
asked to drop out of the study once they had recovered. After
“considerable persuasion,” however, they agreed to continue.
