Interrogation Techniques: ARTICHOKE focused on "special interrogations" using hypnosis, drugs (morphine, scopolamine, early psychedelics), sensory deprivation, and combinations thereof. Researchers tested whether they could create amnesia, induce false memories, or force subjects to perform acts against their will — including assassination.

The program explicitly explored whether drugs could be weaponized for covert operations and counterintelligence.
