Intro

Author of "Drugs As Weapons Against Us" John Potash joins again to share his research for his newest documentary "CIA Drugs R Us", a dive into how the CIA has used illicit substances against the masses for decades all while framing it as "sticking it to The Man". We talk about how the hippie movement was essentially baked in a lab and used as dedicated MKULTRA test subjects, as well as avenues the MKULTRA may still be operating today through government sanctioned programs such as MAPS (The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) and cultural arenas such as Burning Man. John's research reveals that many "alternative" subcultures are not as the appear at first glance.
