Psychoactive Chemicals in Combat

Amanda PlimptonEvan Anderson

Military research on psychoactive chemicals and enhancement protocols offers a foundation for grassroots biohackers and body augmenters pursuing their own experiments.

Summary

Military Research in Psychoactive Chemistry

Key experiments and trials conducted by military branches reveal which chemical protocols work and which fail on human subjects. This research spans biological enhancement and chemical deterrents.

Implications for Biohackers

The speakers present this military research as a resource for grassroot scientists and body augmenters. While military science was developed in institutional settings with specific objectives, the underlying methodologies and findings are available for independent researchers to learn from.

From Enhancement to Deterrence

The range of research covers both performance enhancement (cognitive, physical, endurance) and defensive applications (deterrents, protective compounds). Understanding both allows biohackers to design safer experiments.
