Albert Hoffman died.

He was the first person to take an acid trip. Changed my life. He lived to be 102.

It was a good trip.

For decades after LSD was banned in the late 1960s, Hofmann defended his invention.

"I produced the substance as a medicine. ... It's not my fault if people abused it," he once said.

Was it better that people abused it then it being used as a pyschiatric treatment? Leary was getting good results in the prison experiment till they shut it down. Also Johns HOpkins in Baltimreo
Was it better that the medical establishment did not get to use it to "cure" people

I don't know
I can't imagine what my life would have been like clay.
I just don't know it caused suffering, I am not sure if it was worth it.

Been almost thirty years since those days. I know the experience changed me, I had hopes of writing a story about it, but I got bored with it cause it was mostly about me and my penis.



Better I am been telling myself
dam I don't know if my psychadelic lover the silent woman would agree.
but not sure if Mike Huckabee would see it that way.

edit this messmore later
that its for now

Yeah, I was saddened by that too. Another genuine, authentic hero, who was an individual despite convention's undertow, bites the dust......
