<br>
Quiz question - Before I post episide II of the MK-ULTRA story and its
relevance for University contracting (See: <span
style="font-style: italic;">LSD and the corruption of medicine -Part I</span>),
Matt Holford prompted me to find out who produced LSD for the MK-ULTRA
sponsored torture studies. In my previous post I implied that Sandoz
remained the source. <br>
<br>
In fact, CIA documents show that a U.S. source for LSD supply was
desired.<br>
<br>
In
1953 the CIA provided Eli Lilly with funding to attempt synthesis of
LSD for CIA use without the need for the expensive and scarce reagents
required by Sandoz. A year later, Lilly chemists succeeded in their
quest, and subsequent supplies were from Lilly[1,2]. Another more
potent chemical used by MK-Ultra, BZ (3-quinuclidinyl benzilate), was
produced by Hoffman-La Roche.<br>
