Summer Reading: Drugs as Weapons Against us by John Potash

Drugs as Weapons Against Us by John L. Potash 

Over the summer I read about how the government gave drugs to many famous people to publicize them, and the answers to some conspiracy theories. Along with the history of drugs including the opium wars and drugs used in WW2 for prisoners.

This book is really interesting to me because it gives evidence and explains what the government has been trying to cover up. All of the faces you see on the cover were victims of being dosed and somewhat brainwashed with mainly lsd and other drugs. The CIA and other organizations had control over lots of the drug trafficking, operation MK-ultra was simply to get these leftist leaders and popular musicians dosed with lsd making them unaware of the advantage taken of them. There are some great bits of information on these people and how they were killed. These people did not kill themselves or overdose on there own choices, for instance Jimi Hendrix's manager was ex British intelligence Mi6 and admitted the murder of Jimi. There is strong evidence for all these men that they were murdered so that they would not spill information to the public. The coincidence of a handful of these musicians dying within the same year or two shows that they probably started to figure out what was really going on, so the best way to stop them from telling anyone was to kill them. 

Relating the book to where I live is a bit weird because no one is being tricked into taking acid and what not. Most places there is a drug problem, out here on Vinalhaven mainly people have addiction to pills. Heroin is also becoming a problem out here more people have been bringing it over.
