Pretty much. It's the job of an intelligence agency to research all such theoretical tools. There are just ethical and unethical ways of doing so. The key issue with MKULTRA was the use of unwitting subjects. They'd dose people with LSD without their knowledge, let alone their consent, causing at least one person to kill themselves. If any of us worked for the CIA, we'd probably be interested in researching LSD, too; just not like that.
