Wow! 102 years old.I should live to be about 95 then!
He INVENTED it, didn't use it like Flintstones chewables every day
Damn!! between this and the masterbation thread I thought I was set!
What thread is that?
Masterbation reducing the risk of prostate cancer. I'D link it but can't figure out how!
Prompted by LSD's "peculiar" qualities, Hoffman decided to look at it again. On April 16, 1943, Hofmann had just completed synthesizing a new batch when, he subsequently wrote to his supervisor, "I was forced to interrupt my work in the laboratory in the middle of the afternoon and proceed home, being affected by a remarkable restlessness, combined with slight dizziness.
"At home, I lay down and sank into a not-unpleasant intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours, this condition faded away."
RIP AL
