Are you seriously still paying for drugs? I’m not talking prescription medicines or a dime bag. The heavy stuff. Cocaine. Morphine. The stuff that’ll nosedive your future and warp your “brain’s prefrontal cortex, which governs a person’s reasoning and judgment.”
The federal government to this day is looking for “volunteers” and supporting programs that even pay people to use the hardest of drugs to study its affects on the brain.
For decades, the government has authorized, funded and lobbied for studies in which otherwise illegal drugs were given to addicts in cities such as Washington, Bethesda, Baltimore, New York, Minneapolis and San Antonio. The studies continue today and have an array of aims, from documenting the ways cocaine warps the brain to the intensity of pain from morphine withdrawal.
Government records obtained by The Examiner show that the researchers gave test subjects:
Most government officials are not aware of the experiments, even though they have been going on since at least the 1970s.
- Morphine at the Veterans Administration in D.C.
- Cocaine injections at the U.S. military’s Uniformed Services University in Bethesda.
- Crack cocaine in several major cities.
