Inventor of LSD dies

May 18, 2008 by Chris

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.

ialberthofmann.jpg 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!
