These seven incarcerated Black men are force-fed triple and quadruple amounts of LSD for 77 days straight as part of a test on the impact of hallucinogens. Their names are never released, and it is likely that these men died without ever knowing that they were part of the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA's) experimental program MKUltra.
