Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland stands 90 miles north of Washington D.C. and has been the center of the United States Army’s research into chemical warfare since World War I. Within its laboratories, bizarre experiments were conducted to understand dose levels for nerve agents and chemical compounds, including the use of cats dosed with LSD. Animals were tested before humans to determine what would incapacitate or prove lethal on the battlefield, as well as how their troops could protect themselves from such attacks.
In 1993, ITV Yorkshire (UK) aired a documentary detailing this unethical experimentation and its effects on human subjects. The film exposed the extreme lengths which scientists went to in order to test their theories – some of which left people mentally and emotionally scarred for years after.
