Albert Hofmann, the man behind LSD, has died! I honestly just found out this morning!
No I wasn’t getting small or something like that, I’ve just been too busy over the past couple of months doing lots of things!
He says that the developed LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide-25) as a porthole into the mind. This drug/treatment was to allow patients to seek out what was troubling them thus, helping focus the treatments to be used to help what ails them.
In his books he tell of his own experimentation with it, but says “LSD can help open your eyes,” he once said. “But there are other ways — meditation, dance, music, fasting.” Now he tells me!
Lots of other people jumped on the olde LSD thing, but their end results were a bit different. Like this guy! Ah, Timothy Leary’s (L)eague of (S)piritual (D)evelopment. Imagine actually meeting this guy. Better yet, can you think of who better to go camping with then him? Huh?
Some other notables are Carry Grant, the Beatles … the list goes on and on.
So let’s take out hats off for a moment and reflect on the great pharmacist Albert Hofmann’s accomplishments.
Keep on Jammin’ Albert, where ever you are!
May he rest in peace….I have taken plenty of acid in my day, and it did make me look at how I was screwing up in my life. It edged out the shades of gray. When I was tripping, I could distinctly label things are good or bad, no grey, no moral ambiguity.
I’ve moved on from that now, and I live sober today. But I’m glad that I experimented back then, so I could stop all the noise for a minute and look inside myself and see the truth for once….and then decide that I wanted something different out of life.
There are other ways, indeed. Be safe everyone and God bless!
I think that you have spoken for the silent vast majority of the populous out there Patrick. Very good point!
Keep on Jammin’
REST IN PEACE, Hoffmann!!!
Here’s a guy who made one of the most interesting discoveries in human kind… I’ve took acid a couple of times.. not my type of things and definetly not to do on regular basis.. just think it’s something you gotta try at least once… and I don’t consider it addicted..
Anyway.. may he rest in peace!!!
Ironic that when he made the discovery, he was working for Sandoz labs on a chemical composition that would be used as a analeptic and possiby a form of truth serum. Hoffman was also obsessed with the plant Salvia divinorum later in life.
Unfortunately due to the small minds who control the US government, one of the greatest discoveres of the twentieth century has been turned into a reason to incarcerate people who interested in expanding their conscious.
Thanx for your input on this post AnbroK.
Keep on Jammin’
Wow, thanx for that little bit of info. about the man American Dream!
The last part speaks volumes now doesn’t it. Too bad so many things that are invented for one reason always get turned around into bad ones.
Keep on Jammin’
