  • Psychochemical warfare — or "drug weapons" — involves the use of psychopharmacological agents (mind-altering drugs or chemicals) with the intention of incapacitating an adversary through the temporary induction of hallucinations or delirium. These agents have generally been considered chemical weapons and, more narrowly, constitute a specific type of incapacitating agent. Although never developed into an effective weapons system, psychochemical warfare theory and research—along with overlapping mind control drug research—was secretly pursued in the mid-20th century by the US military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the context of the Cold War. These research programs were ended when they came to light and generated controversy in the 1970s. The degree to which the Soviet Union developed or deployed similar agents during the same period remains largely unknown. (en)
  • A guerra psicoquímica envolve o uso de agentes psicofarmacológicos (drogas ou substâncias químicas que alteram a mente) com a intenção de incapacitar um adversário através da indução temporária de alucinações ou delírio. Esses agentes têm sido geralmente considerados armas químicas e, mais estritamente, constituem um tipo específico de agente incapacitante. Embora nunca tenha se desenvolvido em um sistema de armas eficaz, a teoria e a pesquisa da guerra psicoquímica — juntamente com a pesquisa sobreposta de drogas de controle mental — foi secretamente perseguida em meados do século XX pelos militares e Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) no contexto da Guerra Fria. Esses programas de pesquisa foram encerrados quando vieram à tona e geraram polêmica na década de 1970. O grau em que a União Soviética desenvolveu ou implantou agentes semelhantes durante o mesmo período permanece em grande parte desconhecido. (pt)
