 Have you ever seen army officers on durgs? 
If you haven't, which is probable, you have the unique possibility now.
We managed to aquire an unique material from the army film archive
dating back to the beginning of 1970s, which captures the then experiments
with LSD on officers of Czechoslovak People's army.
It's not so long, since army general Sejna aledged in his testimony
to the Senate of United States, that in the times of Korean Conflict
American POWs were brought to Prague
where they were subjected to medical experiments.
Even though he only wanted to appear interesting, his statement caused much fuss.
Both government agencies and historians tried to track down
the trail of Korean POWs to Prague after his statement.
In the end, nothing was found that would prove his testimony was true.
The idea of bringing foreing POWs into the center of capital
does not seem very sound. If such experiments were conducted
they would have been conducted in closed facilities in remote areas.
In my opinion, the general, claiming this, only wanted to appear interesting.
Other statements he made were also proven incorrect.
While nobody seems to have ever spotted Korean POWs being subjected to psychoactive agents in Prague,
we managed to find a classified reel in the army film archive,
which documents an experiment with LSD on officers of Czechoslovak People's Army.
The reel was shot at the beginning of 1970s,
when psychedelic drugs were considered as possible means of warfare.
It was expected, that should the conflict with West break out,
the NATO could have used these agents.
This experiment was performed and shot in military hospital in Prague.
As far as I know, two staffs were subjected to the experiment.
LSD was administered to one staff, the other "clean" staff was used to compare effects of the drug.
This was off course a blind experiment, the staffs had no idea, which of them was given LSD.
We've told them, that they will be doing a tactical game on maps.
But haven't told them, they will be shot with hidden cameras.
20 minutes after administration, we can observe first effects of the drug
like unpurposeful movements
and they are claiming the room temperature is too high.
30 minutes into the experiment, the chief of staff expresses his strange feelings.
Two main things were happening among the officers.
Firstly the people themselves observed unusual feelings,
which they considered as mostly enjoyable.
But on the other hand, as they tried to communicate with each other, conflicts had arisen,
because everybody of them perceivedd his own state differently.
Their discusions were mostly of conflictingcting nature.
- Don't go away!
- Don't hold back the Commander of stuff, he's got his own tasks to do!
- We wont achieve a thing this way...
- No we won't!
- We don't have the ammo.
- What have you been doing the whole aftenoon here, both of you?! You don't have ammo now!
- Don't be quarrelsome!
- You only have ... "these" ... whith cannons.
- Heh... look at yourself, how you look, heh.
- I stagger around like an idiot.
- You won't let me propose anything!
- We'd be better off killing ourselves, that doing what you suggest!
You can have those totally paradoxical halucinations, you can hear with your teeth.
Or you can perceive the colours by your stomach.
This kind of bizzare oddities which completely consume your attention.
- Jesus, what a nonsense.
- I think the same of you that you are abnormal.
There are documented cases of people who under the influence of the drug
became so paranoid that they've commited suicide.
- The basic thing is to attack.
- So we will move the rear.
- Don't interrupt me!
- We know the area, we should attack.
- We will move two units to this area.
They descibed, they didn't have any idea of what they were doing.
They've issued commands, that made no sense.
In one moment, they've tried to put their gas masks on, which they performed in funny way.
- I understood.
- Chemical attack!
Gas masks on!
- Gas mask on!!!
Noone knows, what the gas mask seemed to him like at the moment.
You can e.g. see bugs crawling all over the gas mask...
... or it can seem all totally new to you, even though you've done it
hundred times before.
Their spatial perception was dissorted. Everything seemed
too small or big or fragmented to them.
They could find this enjoyable, but in the initial stage, they've understood,
they should fullfill some task and they are not able to
fullfill them.
If it was not under control, then in extreme cases this state
could have lead to suicide.
- We can't do like this, boys!
- In a while, we will have to explain, what we have
 been doing all the time.
- Until now, we had no time.
- I want one sketch from you!
- You will prepare e.g. an overview of material suplies!
- And this one does not know where the enemy is!
- If he attacks from west or from east!
- Indeed, I know!
- What do I want? I want the same thing, all the time!
- We will have to tell the commander of the division
what is the situation at the front.
- Jesus, we haven't done so many things!
- Well you see!
- Do you know the enemy forces ratio?
- So compute the enemy forces ratio!
- Jesus... For christ's sake...
They were surprised and shocked.
The commander said the other day, when the experiment was over
when he reviewed the materials, he created under the influence the drug
"God forbid, I've sent my forces into the clasp of death."
Small quantity of LSD, which is today common among young people
was enough for a total decomposition of missile army command including politruk.
It's off course clear, that in all the armies around the world,
much more extreme experiments took place,
because these agents were regarded as means of warfare.
Current opinion of the officers, which took part in the experiment is impossible to get.
In military archives, they only figured as numbers.
As you may know, everything is classified in the army.
And psychoactive drugs as means of warfare belong to the top secret agenda.
And my opinion is, we will not know the truth about nature
of these experiments even when the archives will be declassified.
My feelings during the experiment were mainly of unpleasant nature,
but if it would be necessary, I would volunteer for the experiment again ;-)
