Report on the Special Agent EA-1476.
Abstract
Preliminary tests to determine the toxicity of the drug lysergic acid, were performed on cats. Definite conclusions could not be derived from the limited data gathered. However, several things were noticed particularly as exemplified by one monkey. The dramatic immediate slowing in electroencephalogram, the definite spike and slow wave that appeared in the septal region which is more characteristic of the 'schizophrenic spike' than recordings with d-LSD and mescaline, and prolonged electroencephalographic effects still dramatic 72 hours after the drug was given. Also striking is the chronic debilitation the animals show after minimal doses of this drug which ultimately leads to their death. Perhaps with better 'nursing' care, these animals might have survived.
