    >Over 100 institutions – hospitals, prisons and schools – in the US and Canada were involved.

    I thought this was something that happened in one or two labs somewhere. It's surprising how far reaching this was. Giving nitrous oxide, lsd, and amphetamines to kids see if you can control their minds is insane.

      It was such a pity that only japanese (Unit 731) and the nazis did it. The CIA didn't want it to be left behind. /s

    Pure conspiracy theories:

    Famously Ted Kaczynski was alleged to have been an MKUltra participant.

    Lesser known is that Jeffrey Dahmer also is alleged to have been an MKUltra experiment possibly carried out by his own father.

    Louis Jolyon West, one of the primary MKUltra "contractors," was also Jack Ruby's psychiatrist when he was in jail for the murder of Lee Oswald. Jack Ruby went "insane" shortly after. West was also responsible for an LSD experiment on an elephant, wherein he incorrectly calculated the dose, delivered in intravenously, and panicked the animal so badly it had to be killed.

    If you're ever mindlessly scrolling through whatever streaming platform looking for something to watch, check out The Sleep Room* which is about this hospital and the experiments that went on there. Bewarned though, it's very made-for-TV level of quality.
