Albert "LSD" Hoffman has died at 102
 
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/wo...30hofmann.html

From the NY Times. Hoffman gave the world the most powerful hallucinogenic compound we know of, and I thank him for it.

“I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that’s all.” - Hoffman

Im with !@#$! Im like wait, hoffman was still alive?? His discovery of psychedelic effects of LSD on accident remains one of the greatest "war stories" EVER..

Well it's because of him (well not him personally, but you get what I mean) I've had some incredible trips and experiences.

Yes, yes there are. Hoffman was also the first to chemically identify psilocybin and I recall he tried some ;)

Mushrooms are crap compared to LSD. God I love that shit. My last trip was about 2 years ago and it was the best of them all. I mean...of course I was going to trip balls on 3 tabs....but fuck. The sky never looked so damn beautiful.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 03.19.2015 07:27 PM

Evol you obviously never had the blessing of "good" mushrooms or you wouldn't pronounce such blasphemy. The difference between the two is like difference between herbs and hard drugs, one is an organic and functional experience the other is overwhelming and destructive. Hard drugs are good for getting "fucked up" but mushrooms are for grownups who seek something more constructive.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 03.19.2015 07:33 PM

Plus acid lasts for a dozen hours, really grown ups have too much shit to do to devote so much time to getting "fucked up"... notice its been two years since you last dropped meanwhile as busy as i been working 16 hour day i still managed to have a great time eating some fungus two weeks ago..

2 weeks vs 2 years.. hmmmmmmmm

he is succeeded by his great great great great grand dog, chef bon jovardee who rents a dog house in tuscany

i tripped alone one night and wrote the word "light!" a million fucking times in a notebook

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 03.19.2015 11:16 PM

I laid on the floor playing guitar for hours in the dark until i realized the music was simultaneously flooding my brain with numbers. So i went to the room where my friends all were and asked for a pencil. I realized ii was charting time.. so i go back to the dark room and continued to write down the numbers until the notebook was just an insane collage of pencil marks.. A friend came in, looked down at the papers (in the dark mind you) and asked me, "dude, why did you need that pencil, are you charting time?"

dead_battery 03.19.2015 11:26 PM

pure fucking capitalism
