Chemical Corps and LSD

There seems to be ample evidence that the Chemical Corps and its scientists were involved in LSD experiments, with the CIA and on army soldiers. Not sure what to make of all this.

• Psychedelics Encyclopedia by Peter G. Stafford and Jeremy Bigwood
• The Wizards of Langley by Jeffrey T. Richelson
• Discovering Addiction by Nancy D. Campbell
• Altering American Consciousness by Sarah W. Tracy, Caroline Jean Acker

I wonder if this should just be integrated into the history or given its own section. Seems pretty significant to me that the corps was experimenting with LSD (which is amazingly awesome if you think about it, Dragon Soldiers indeed). Thoughts? --IvoShandor (talk) 13:11, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Thoughts

This should absolutely be here, I was shocked to ctrl+f and not see "LSD" or "MK Ultra", while I would not call experimenting on unwilling civilians, resulting in deaths and permanent disabilities to be awesome. It should absolutely be included. -- 76.133.69.215 (talk) 00:18, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

2023 Destruction of Chemical Weapons

Given that on July 7th of 2023 the US announced the completion of its project to destroy its remaining chemical weapons, should the Chemical Corps page be amended to say that it was formerly in charge of the use of chemical weapons? Kelvinnkat (talk) 16:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
