"I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild." -- Albert Hofmann (1906-2008)

My hero!
Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.

LSD gives people the ability to live to be 102.
The next time some dipshit says LSD should be illegal because "drugs kill people" (as if all drugs are the same and as if LSD is lethal), we've got us a powerful fact to use.How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

I couldn't agree more.
On my own terms, however, I think I know what I will be doing in order to effectively 'mourn' this weekend...

I still haven't taken LSD yet.
Haven't really had the chance. I think that I can wait till college, however. Just another year.
Sad to see him go. He was responsible for a lot of cultural greatness.
Only makes me want to experience it more. For Albert!

Yea, only make sure you understand what your getting into, and understand that set and setting are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT before taking the drug:
Set (your mindset before the trip, must be 100% positive and optimistic)
Setting (you must be in a comfortable enviroment, quiet and peaceful, no stress or worries)I would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees.

Don't worry, I've done tons of research. Read nearly every page on Erowid, know people who've done it, etc.

Wow, just two days before his death, I decided to look up this LSD inventor. I was like, "Wow! He's still alive!" And now...
