Project MKOFTEN

Project MKOFTEN was a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency program conducted in cooperation with the Department of Defense, operating under the aegis of Project MKSEARCH, for the purpose of testing "the behavioral and toxicological effects of certain drugs on animals and human." It is often conflated with Operation OFTEN, which focused on investigating occultism and psychicism, and their potential uses in intelligence operations (and MKOFTEN may have simply shifted course, becoming the occult research operation OFTEN).
