LSD, JFK, CIA, RFK, HMO?

[David Morris]

I can't see how you've demonstrated that the existence of LSD prior to 1966 
was not "common knowledge."  Tim's suggestion for periodical research of the 
mention of lSD at the time seems the only reliable method for such an 
assertion.  And "common knowledge" re. the CIA's experimentations with it 
has never been asserted here by anyone to my memory.  And -ANYWAY- the 
context of LSD in COL49 is medical research, not underground nor common 
culture, SO: How in the hell did this "common knowledge" measure become 
relevant to this COL49 reading in the first place!

Jeeze,
David Morris
