Operation Midnight Climax

Join Sydney and Sara this week as we dive into Operation Midnight Climax, a twisted story of how the CIA drugged unsuspecting civilians and filmed them for research purposes. Part of the larger MKULTRA operation, Midnight Climax studied the effects of LSD on unwilling participants who patronized prostitutes in the San Francisco area. This operation was so secretive that high standing government officials weren’t even aware of its existence.
