The complex history of LSD was quite unpleasant. The military and CIA were taking advantage of LSD as an interrogation weapon.

What makes a criminal? What makes someone intentionally want to cause harm to other people? The type of environment a person grows up in could dictate whether or not they become a criminal. If a person grows up in a home where criminal behavior is normal, and they become desensitized to that type of behavior, they may grow up believing there is no harm in it.
