I'm really surprised the CIA didn't try to SELL them the LSD much like they do the poor with cocaine... 
there must be some detailed medical reports left over from the period, there are distinguishing factors btw ergotism and LSD intoxication - most importantly the malignant vasoconstriction which would be observed in people who took high enough doses of the natural ergot alkaloids to produce the frank LSD-like hallucinations described. i suppose there is not enough evidence readily available to make an informed decision but said investigative journalist could probs come to a semi-conclusive answer by looking at medical records. if the CIA released LSD into the new york subway system why is it surprising that they would 'dose' some people in some small french town?
