When I was researching for Blitzt in Dachau, I had found that the SS had done in the concentration camp of Dachau experiments with mescaline and another hallucinogenic substance, which was not named.

And mescaline has the problem.

The truth talk idea is I give you something without you noticing it, like something that doesn't smell or doesn't taste like anything.

And then after like half an hour, I know that something's working in your brain and you become insecure because suddenly something's working in your brain and I can play with that situation and therefore extract all the secrets from you because it's a power.

I'm suddenly above you because I know something about you that you don't know.

That was the idea.

The problem with mescaline was it has a bitter taste and it's kind of hard to make it.

And LSD is very easy to make, not very easy, but it's quite easy.

And LSD is odorless and tasteless.

So I was trying to, I somehow had the notion that LSD has a Nazi past, you know, which is something that no one ever thinks about.

LSD is like the hippie drug, right?

It's a drug of the peace people.

But,

I wanted to see all the papers of the CEO of Stoll and the archivist.

He already knew.

He was the Swiss archivist.

And this is not a public archive.

In a public archive, you're basically like a national archive of the United States.

You see what's there.

You have the right to see it.
