In this episode I tell you the strange history of the drug LSD, from it's origins involving a deadly fungus that may have caused a bizarre dancing plague in 1518, all the way up until the CIA began experimenting with it in their top secret program known as Project MK-Ultra. Did the CIA really murder one of its own scientists? And how does the man's death tie into a bizarre outbreak of mass hallucinations in a tiny French village.
