I’ve always admired Albert Hofmann’s meticulous research and writings on lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), which he first synthesized in 1938 while searching for a respiratory stimulant; it wasn’t until 1943 that he discovered its powerful psychoactive effects after accidentally absorbing a small amount.
May you rest in peace, visionary chemist and pioneer of psychedelic science, and here’s hoping LSD gains the legal recognition it deserves so more people can safely explore its potential to expand higher consciousness and deepen understanding of the mind.
