101. LSD, Nazis and the CIA with Norman Ohler
The Drug Science PodcastIn this episode, Prof Nutt meets with German author Norman Ohler as he speaks about his new book “ Tripped ” which addresses drug use in post-Nazi Germany. Ohler shares how a secret history held back therapeutic research of psychedelic drugs for decades and eventually Nazi policies became part of the foundation of America’s War on Drugs. Ohler discusses theories as to why substances have been omitted from certain parts of history. This episode delves into deep debates regarding the weaponisation of substances within war environments, touching upon the CIA’s attempts to weaponise psychedelics such as LSD in their MK Ultra experiments.
