Albert Hofmann, who died on Tuesday aged 102, synthesised lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in 1938 and became the first person in the world to experience a full-blown acid trip.

:: Via Telegraph.co.uk via Email (Thanks S!) and also Reddit earlier today ::

From Wikipedia:

Hofmann called LSD “medicine for the soul” and was frustrated by the worldwide prohibition that has pushed it underground. “It was used very successfully for 10 years in psychoanalysis,” he said, adding that the drug was hijacked by the youth movement of the 1960s and then unfairly demonized by the establishment that the movement opposed. He conceded that LSD can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Quote from Hofmann:

“Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have confronted, that there are doors that they are afraid to go in and don’t want us to go in there either because if we go in we may learn something that they don’t know. And that makes us a little out of their control.”
-Albert Hofman Discoverer of LSD on why the government made it illegal.

Also, this video of British Soldiers on LSD is a keeper. and by keeper I mean one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

“People are always amazed by how much “free time” I have.
They’re also amazed that I don’t know who Ally McBeal is.
Frankly, I’m amazed that they can’t make the connection.”

Where do I get my ideas from? You might as well have asked that of Beethoven. He was goofing around in Germany like everybody else, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out of him. It was music.

I was goofing around like everybody else in Indiana, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out. It was disgust with civilization.

-Kurt Vonnegut 2004

I was at a party the other night and I met this guy Jon who is an organic farm inspector. He brought up an interesting point that bears repeating.

“People always bitch about the price of organic food but they don’t ever go to farmers markets or learn to buy in season.” - Jon

“Anyone whose goal is ‘something higher’ must expect some day to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling?… No, vertigo is something other than the fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.â€

-Milan Kundera
