Exactly Cliff,what a crock,but then I'm always reminded by McGowans title...
"The Mostly True Story of"......
It implies that the hippie generation was born in Laurel Canyon.
The Hippie Generation was born in San Francisco and at Sandoz.
My take on the MK/ULTRA connect is this -- by the early 60's it was apparent that LSD had limited operation usage as a "mind control" drug. It was non-addictive. One didn't suffer cravings for LSD as one might suffer a craving for heroin or chocolate croissants.
Heroin and crack cocaine are weaponized drugs because lots of people become severely addicted.
LSD failed as a mass weaponized drug. It was "weaponized" when given to someone without their knowledge -- but how that person would react was entirely unpredictable, depending on their state of mind when coming on to it. LSD was largely unsuitable as "mind control" -- its effect was the mercurial opposite.
So there was an institutional dump of the stuff -- giving it away for free and then making money selling it. "The first one's always free."
Laurel Canyon...the birthplace of folk-rock and country-rock.
Psychedelic hard rock was born in San Francisco.
