LSD Testing on British Troops in the 1950s

If you are an internet conspiracy nut, or just someone that like to laugh, this is one of the funniest videos on youtube. LSD-25 was something that was tested extensively by the military and the government during the 50s, 60s, and later in many experiments.
These drugs were used for many purposes that included attempted mind control in such things as the MK Ultra experiment by the CIA (this actually has evidence so this isn’t crackpot stuff here). This instance of testing on the British troops is more of a weapon of war. These young acne-clad youths are given the drug just to see how they “react” while doing maneuvers. It was hoped that eventually they could use it as a weapon against enemy troops to get them to be incoherent and easily defeated.
Of course these experiments provided little results as the way soldiers reacted were not uniform, and there was really no effective way to distribute the drug. They certainly tried with aircaraft dropping it in smoke form, and other ways, but alas the experiments never really became that useful.
Here is a hilarious clip of British troops using LSD and how they reacted:
