PROJECT ARTICHIKE:

Project Artichoke was the Central Intelligence Agency's secret code name for carrying out in-house and overseas experiments using LSD, hypnosis, and total isolation as a form of physiological harassment for special interrogations on human subjects.[9] The subjects who left this project were fogged with amnesia, resulting in faulty and vague memories of the experience.[10] According to Jeffrey Kaye, the name of this project came about from New York City criminal Ciro Terranova who was nicknamed "the Artichoke King".[citation needed]

It was formerly known as Project Bluebird, but in August 1951, the operation was renamed.[11] This project was a kickoff for MKUltra

OPERATION MIDNIGHT CLIMAX:

The project consisted of a web of CIA-run safehouses in San Francisco, Marin, and New York City. It was established in order to study the effects of LSD on unconsenting individuals. Prostitutes on the CIA payroll were instructed to lure clients back to the safehouses, where they were surreptitiously plied with a wide range of substances, including LSD, and monitored behind one-way glass. Every one of these acts was blatantly illegal, but several significant operational techniques were developed in this theater, including extensive research into sexual blackmail, surveillance technology, and the possible use of mind-altering drugs in field operations.[2]

The Operation Midnight Climax soon expanded and CIA operatives began dosing people in restaurants, bars and beaches.[2]
