I am happy to have gotten to read this again. It is something I think about time to time in reference to addiction but had a really good context here. This is a great subject for meditation and I have meddled over the idea since writing it. At the time there was not as much MK Ultra research as there is now and I seem to have not referenced any in the post. If you are interested I would start with the assassin of John Lennon and how they found him....
