Albert Hoffman, synthesist and experimenter who created LSD-25 passed away Tuesday, April 29th, 2008. He was 102 years old.
Without his discovery, I daresay all media as we now know it would be far, far less rich and broad experience as it is today.
RIP, Albert Hoffman. You once rode a bicycle into infinity and were kind enough to pass along the recipe so we could take the same trip.

hahaha that reminds me of a time when, app 10 years ago, my friend explained to us how chocolate chip cookies had hidden illuminati instructions hidden within the alignment of the chips....
yes we were "chemically enhanced" and it actually made perfect sense...
big ups to experimental exploration

Thanks for the outter bodies, the time I watched brains come out of my head, the villages of people walking around on my hands, for helping me try to convince my best friend to put a drill through her head, for all those crazy geometric shapes I could pull out from the infinite grids that surrounds us all...
lol.. I can honestly say that Albert Hoffman changed my life.
RIP...

A talented chemist. Probably just as well he failed to stop decriminalization cos I would've been even less sociable and had fewer mates. Meditation's healthier but the desire to be out there on the fuckin edge of nowhere remains. ARRRRRRRWWWWOOOOOOO!
Imagine being the first to feel the stomache wobble, the taste, the loosening, the disintegration, time stop, the loneliness of the single within nothing, the meat prison ....
