Santiniketan Park Association controversial New Age group formed in Australia under the leadership of the Yoga teacher Anne Hamilton-Byrne
The children were frequently dosed with the psychiatric drugs Anatensol, Diazepam, Haloperidol, Largactil, Mogadon, Serepax, Stelazine, Tegretol or Tofranil.
On reaching adolescence they were compelled to undergo an initiation involving LSD: while under the influence of the drug the child would be left in a dark room, alone apart from visits by Hamilton-Byrne or one of the psychiatrists from the group.
WIKILEAKS founder, Julian Assange, mother remarried to a musician who belonged to Santiniketan Park Association
Interestingly enough Metafilter has a post on LSD and the CIA which as always contains great links in the comments

The Senate, yesterday, unanimously passed the Child Nutrition Act (which expires every five Septembers), calling it the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act,
Food sold on school lunch lines and in vending machines will need to meet the new nutrition guidelines, which are still in the works. This includes possible prohibition of high-sugar sodas and candy, while less-than-nutritious favorites like pizza would have healthier ingredients, the Times reported.
But in part to help pay for the program, the Senate also approved $14 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), more commonly referred to as food stamps.

I asked our manager, Terry Ellis, “Well, who else is going to be there?” And he listed a large number of groups who were reputedly going to play, and that it was going to be a hippie festival, and I said, “Will there be lots of naked ladies? And will there be taking drugs and drinking lots of beer, and fooling around in the mud?” Because rain was forecast. And he said, “Oh, yeah.” So I said, “Right. I don’t want to go.” Because I don’t like hippies, and I’m usually rather put off by naked ladies unless the time is right.
