And the drug is...?
I'm trying to understand a phenomenon.
I see that links like this work for a bit, then disappear. Is this censoring by Scienceblogs, or a failing of the software running the site?
I am fairly sure that ScienceBlogs does no censoring, but the blog software does get bogged down sometimes. The link works fine now. I think it must be an intermittent problem.
The drug given to the soldiers was LSD.
