In The Futurological Congress (1971), Polish writer Stanislaw Lem portrayed a future in which disobedience is controlled with hypothetical mind-altering chemicals dubbed "benignimizers". Lem's fictional work opens with the frightening story of a police and military biochemical attack on protesters outside of an international scientific convention. As the environment becomes saturated with hallucinogenic agents, in Lem's tale the protesters (and bystanders) descend into chaos, overcome by delusions and feelings of complacency, self-doubt, and even love.
If the Pentagon's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) has its way, Lem may be remembered as a prophet.

Sonic and ultrasonic weapons (USW) are weapons of various types that use sound to injure, incapacitate, or kill an opponent. Some sonic weapons are currently in limited use or in research and development by military and police forces. Others exist only in the realm of science fiction. Some of these weapons have been described as sonic bullets, sonic grenades, sonic mines, or sonic cannons. Some make a focused beam of sound or ultrasound; some make an area field of sound. Although many real sonic and ultrasonic weapons are described as "non-lethal", they can still kill under certain conditions.
HE listened and closed his eyes as the rolling waves of sound poured over and through his being. Thrilling, intoxicating, the hysteria of heaven, the enthralled and frightening flight of angels. Electrifying. Messaien’s organ music signalled messages of meaning, titanic foghorns ululating among dimly perceived near-worlds. Olivier Messaien, master composer of musical expressionism, used the ground thrumming tones of great Parisian cathedral organs to evoke sensations which may only be called otherworldly. Masterfully macabre. Black foundations, blue pillars, and rainbow ceilings.

Designed and built by the American technology Corporation in 2005 and originally designed as a ship to ship hailing device to protect US naval shipping, LRAD is now used by the Illegal American occupation forces in Iraq as an assault weapon, by the US government on their own people as part of their ‘non lethal’ arsenal for crowd control and more recently by the (US sponsored) Georgian state to repress internal dissent.

Riots and civil disturbances don’t just happen out of thin air. The anatomy of a riot is much like that of a Molotov cocktail. Both are created by instigators who add fuel and fire to combustible materials to provoke mayhem. Take one of these elements away and a riot dies. How to remove one of these elements to diffuse a riot is one of the biggest lessons Marines and Sailors from G Battery, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, learned during an intensive 54-hour non-lethal weapons training course here.
A number of "less lethal" weapons have been developed and are commonly used by modern law-enforcement agencies and some military organizations. The intent of these weapons is to subdue or incapacitate violent or dangerous suspects without causing serious harm or death.

Der Entdecker der "Wunderdroge" LSD, Albert Hofmann, ist tot. Der Schweizer starb in seiner Heimat 102-jährig an den Folgen eines Herzinfarkts. Der Chemiker hatte LSD zufällig bei Experimenten entdeckt, den Wirkstoff im Selbstversuch getestet und die bewusstseinserweiternde Wirkung des Halluzinogens beschrieben. LSD sei bei unbedachter Einnahme "saumäßig gefährlich", sagte er später. Trotzdem setzte er sich bis ins hohe Alter für eine Aufhebung des Verbots von LSD ein.

Executive summary: Discovered LSD
Albert Hofmann studied chemistry at the University of Zurich, and was hired as a chemist by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals in 1927. He was assigned to research the active ingredients in medicinal plants, specifically Mediterranean squill, and later a fungus called ergot.
The natural lysergic acid found in ergot was synthesized in 1938, to test its possible medicinal uses. Little of note was found until the spring of 1943, when Hofmann had a hunch, and re-tested the 25th lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25). Hofmann became ill while preparing the sample, went home to rest, and had bizarre (but "not unpleasant") visions for two hours. Three days later he intentionally ingested 25-thousandths of a gram of LSD-25, dissolved in water. Feeling odd again, he rode home on his bicycle, watching the world fantastically reconstruct itself on the way. The date, 19 April 1943, is still celebrated by stoners as "Bicycle Day" -- the first intentional trip on LSD.

The Swiss chemist who discovered LSD, Albert Hofmann, died this week at 102. We examine the legacy of the man who became a hero to a rebellious generation, and look back at the history of this controversial drug - now in the midst of a research revival.
Research has suggested hallucinogens primarily do their magic in the brain's cortex, where the drugs activate specific receptors called 5-HT2A receptors (2ARs) that are normally triggered by serotonin.
"In order to function, [the cortex is] integrating different signals, for example glutamate signals and serotonin signals," said neuroscientist Stuart Sealfon of Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, "and what hallucinogens must be doing is they are disrupting this process so that sensory perception is altered by them."
