MKULTRA wasn't simply a laboratory experiment but a network of covert research activities involving government secrecy, outside institutions, and human experimentation. This episode explores how intelligence objectives shaped the program, the operational challenges of administering psychoactive substances, and the ethical failures that followed. We distinguish established historical operations from allegations that cannot be substantiated by surviving records.
