On another forum. A colleague posts this excerpt from CIA Project Artichoke
24 April 1952
It is believed that specific research should be undertaken to develop new chemicals or drugs or to improve known elements for use in the (Project) Artichoke work. A study should-he made to determine what drugs are best suited for direct use on subjects along the lines of amytal and pentothal and which drugs are best for indirect or long-range approach to subjects. This second type of drug should be one that-could be administered over a considerable period of time, possibly being 'placed in food or water and would either have an agitating effect (producing anxiety, nervousness, tension, etc.) or a depressing effect (creating e feeling of . despondency, hopelessness, lethargy, etc.). This study should include chemicals or dugs that can effectively be concealed in common items such as food, eater, coca cola, beer, liquor, cigarettes, etc. This type of drug should also be capable of use in standard medical treatments such as vaccinations, shots, etc.

How far have they come? In almost 100 years?

I'm guessing they have come farther than we will ever know about.
@ NERB, as far as the OP, that is specifically what they are wanting to look at as the cause, so... That is where it should start. Maybe it will be proven wrong, maybe it won't.
