I highly doubt the events in the article you linked are news to swombat, or any one else for that matter. The use of hallucinogens or drugs on the unsuspecting, like the military trials linked above, are well documented, but have little to do with the specific substance and more to do with the absence of morality of those involved. That is a political problem, not a pharmacological one. Were I an unwitting participant in such an experiment, I would much rather be given LSD than some toxic chemical or biological weapon. That too has been done, do you realise? In certain parts of South America, a chemical derived from Datura is regularly used to zombify people, when they come to their senses 48 hours later, they've a hole in their memories and no possessions left. Again, nefarious people will always find a way to use the tools nature gave us for nefarious purposes. Anyways I highly disagree with your assertion that discussing any of this, to any level of depth, would be considered disrespectful in any way by or to Shulgin. A man who dedicated his entire life to the exploration of pharmacology in all forms, such discussion is precisely the sort of thing I believe he aimed to encourage.
