The 1998 CBC miniseries The Sleep Room dramatizes brainwashing experiments funded by MKUltra that were performed on Canadian mental patients in the 1950s and 60s, and their subsequent efforts to sue the CIA. [74] In experiments with snakes, for example, the animals had been rendered harmless by the University's zoology department; in other experiments with nitric acid, the acid was simply a convincing "coloured solution". The subjects were not told about this.

MK Ultra is a movie released in 2022 based on the experiments of Project MK Ultra. It follows a psychologist played by Anson Mount as he descends into the government conspiracy of the CIA's experiments. At the invitation of Stanford psychology graduate student Vik Lovell, an acquaintance of Richard Alpert and Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey volunteered to take part in what turned out to be a CIA-financed study under the aegis of MKUltra, [57] at the Menlo Park Veterans' Hospital [58] [59] where he worked as a night aide. [60] The project studied the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, AMT and DMT on people. [61]

JAMES PENNER: I enjoyed reading Gottlieb’s account during the Congressional Hearings on MK Ultra of his own LSD trip. And I’ll just read it for you: “I happened to experience an out-of-bodyness, a feeling as though I am in a kind of transparent sausage skin that covers my whole body and it is shimmering. And I have a sense of well-being and euphoria for most of the next hour or two hours, then it gradually subsides.” How could someone who had these euphoric and benevolent experiences participate in horrible experiments with LSD?

While many of the subjects completed these seemingly dangerous tasks, Professor Orne did not necessarily conclude that hypnosis was responsible. It is certainly Gottlieb’s most unexpected legacy. If you’d asked him during the 1950s, “What do you think you might be remembered for?” I don’t believe he ever thought, “I’ll be remembered as the guy that turned on the Grateful Dead and Allen Ginsberg.” When I was doing my research, I came across an interview John Lennon gave where he was asked about LSD. He answered, “We must always remember to thank the CIA and the army for LSD.” Now, John Lennon had never heard of Sidney Gottlieb. Nobody had. But if he had heard of Gottlieb, he would have said, “We must always remember to thank Sidney Gottlieb.” It truly is a remarkable contradiction, or a curiosity of modern history, that the CIA was responsible for bringing LSD into America, and if you unravel everything that LSD meant in the ’60s, its effect on the counterculture and on the culture wars that are still continuing today, that’s quite a remarkable fact.
