03142010terrible_mistake-220 New York, Mar 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) H.P. Albarelli’s book ‘A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments’ reveals details about the inhuman ways of the CIA. The book says that the premier agency used to spray LSD in the New York subway, in an effort to control the commuters. This book adds a lot of credence to the FBI report on the same matter, which had also spoken about these bizarre methods to control the subway commuters.

The ‘A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments’ book talks about Dr. Henry Eigelsbach, a ex CIA research scientist, who says that the LSD tests used to be done on the subway commuters in the 1950’s. But all the same, there is neither documented proof nor evidence about the results of these bizarre tests. The book spares no effort to criticize the premier investigative agency – the CIA, for their crazy ideas about performing such bizarre experiments, on the unsuspecting public in the subways.

It was also being reported that the person behind these LSD tests on the subway commuters was Frank Olsen, who ironically died from LSD poisoning himself.

    LSD’s lethal dose is incredibly high. It’s practically impossible to die from LSD poisoning; one would have to consume 120 times more than a typical dose to die. Personally, I find these stories of “LSD poisoning” hard to believe.

    Hate to burst any balloons, but there is no such thing as LSD poisoning. There is no lethal dose of LSD and I can pretty much be trusted on that statement.
