CIA spiked french bread with LSD as part of mind control experiment

"On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire."

"One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted: "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets."
