Albert Hofmann, the father of LSD, passed away at 9AM CEST on Tuesday April 29, 2008 at his home in Basel, Switzerland. Cause of death was a heart attack; two caretakers were there with him at the time. MAPS President Rick Doblin said, "[Albert and I] spoke on the phone the day after the Basel conference and he was happy and fulfilled. He'd seen the renewal of LSD psychotherapy research with his own eyes, as had [his wife] Anita. I said that I looked forward to discussing the results of the study with him in about a year and a half and he laughed and said he'd try to help the research however he could, either from this side or "the other side".

:eek: 102!?

Look up his accounts of his first 2 "trips."
The first one, an accidenatal exposure, was good; the second one, a deliberate experiment, was not so good.

I really had assumed he was dead.

EDIT: The NYT obit refers to "bicycle day" as the second trip, like it was a great thing. But I definitley recall reading somewhere that the doctor's first deliberate exposure caused unpleasant stuff.

BTW, I do not know anything about LSD (no sarcasm intended).

It's sad how many people bought into that Dragnet bile. Fear and Lying in Los Angeles. Friday had a nice hairdo though and Gannon saved many lives in Korea.
