You seen any of the documentaries about research programs the government had back then trying to figure out how to unleash drugs during war? They subjected people to some hellish trips. Nazi type stuff.

I haven't watched any but have read a lot about them. The program was a serious crime against humanity, IMO

I don't think it's a lack of or detachment of material things will lead to happiness, but the ability to be content with the things you have rather than the incessant need for something better. So what if a neighbor has a better car or a friend has more money... good for them. I have EVERYTHING I need, and MOST things I want. Then it's about acceptance...
