Dr. Albert Hoffman's spirit

He left this world at 102. Dr. Albert Hoffman's spirit still stays alive in the manipulated minds of so many. His problem child transformed the way the world thought, taking people beyond thier mundane perceptional comprehension.


Alex Grey called him Saint Albert.

Hofmann believed it could still serve a valid purpose in medicine, as it did for Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World who used the drug to ease his final suffering. Hofmann -- who believed LSD was useful in analysis of how the mind works, hoping it could be used to recognise and treat illnesses like schizophrenia -- defended his "wonder drug" for decades after it was banned in the 1960s.
