Albert Hofman, the discoverer of LSD and long term psychedelic adventurer died on April 29 aged 102. A collection of obituaries and videos on Albert’s life are here. Hofman disliked the way Timothy Leary and the other psychedelic enthusiasts gave LSD a bad press since he believed LSD could expose people to the spiritual side of life. To Hofmann however LSD was by no means essential for doing the latter:

His advice to would-be trippers was simple. “Go to the meadow, go to the garden, go to the woods. Open your eyes!”

I concur. The main argument against the use of illicit drugs is that while they raise the prospect of damage and harm they are unnecessary. It’s called life. Get into it.
