Britain Sends Soldiers On A Trip

In the news today, the British government has apparently agreed to compensate three soldiers who were given Acid (the hallucinogenic drug) in the 1950's, as part of an experimental research program.

Senior citizen Don Webb, one of the volunteers who received an extra week's pay for the tests, said he and a colleague began to hallucinate after being given a clear liquid to drink. He told the CBC that during the experience, "His face melted and opened so that I could swear that I could see his skull beneath the skin. The walls and floor of the room seemed to be covered by a clear liquid that was moving about and writhing. I was surrounded by a cell of moving writhing things inside an ordinary room."

Rumours are that news of the payments is prompting thousands of British youths to sign up for the Armed Services, in hopes of being paid for more of the same.
