Keith, you are absolutely correct that Garcia was not a MKULTRA test subject- my bad, I wrote in haste. I do believe that he, the Dead, the Pranksters and the whole Northern Cal psychedelic scene all developed in the shadow of Stanford, but that's a different story.
As to the power of entheogenic substances to catalyze real insight, well sure, but they also make people more manipulable at times, and I see that as a more compelling motivation for the spooks rather than that they all turned into psychedelic pied-pipers...
