NO!

Didn't stop it from getting into the hands of the "Free Your Mind" movement. More like Fry Your Mind.
The CIA literally gave it to them. The more test subjects, then potentially the more loyal subjects. They would go to concerts and give LSD out. They used to put posters up on campuses looking from healthy kids to participate. It must have been awesome. Once they reliezed that you couldn't control a mind with LSD, then they tried to control people through the addictions.

Given how things like the USAF Budget (including certain projects), to say nothing of CIA Intel leaks, are well documented, I have to conclude that one must apply Occam's Razor here. The simplest conclusion is generally the correct conclusion; there is no conspiracy, just heaping loads of human frailty.
Hold up let me break this argument up so that it's easier to discuss.
The CIA, Pentagon, and NASA all have a "black budget." I assume you know what I'm talking about there.
In the case of the CIA's mind control experiments, I'm not sure how aware of this case you are. People have come forward, Dateline did a special and there were a couple of people on there asking for forgiveness. Also, the formerly top-secret docs DO name names. Not only names of those killed, but also the names of those who slipped them the LSD. Now, that agent who died in a cabin, the Department of Justice refuses to bring about any charges, but the victim's family has a huge civil suite out there. But I don't know what became of it.
As far as other "test subject" like those kidnapped and forced to go through hours and days and weeks and months of hypno-therapy, no names are given. But we know that the CIA has them. Dateline inferred that these were likely prisoners who signed up not knowing what was going to happen to them.
The CIA has declassified this. Before it was considered a conspiracy, now the conspiracy is why there are no charges brought up. I'm suprised that you missed this, it was big BIG news a while back. People were pissed.
There were a few tapes released too. You could prolly find them on the web. The only one I remember was were a CIA scientist attached a remot control to a Bull's brain(still had it's horns too) and was controlling it. The tape was black and white, and trippy. He could make the bull charge, jog, walk, stop, and lay down. Kinda cool I suppose.
