NYTimes Profile on LSD Father Albert Hoffman

8 01 2006

Craig Smith of the New York Times wrote a short but pretty good piece profiling Albert Hoffman just prior to his 100th birthday. Worth a read for you psychonauts out there. I enjoyed some of his comments on sensory perception and cognition – that the “external” sensory world really only exists internally. He refers to LSD as “medicine for the soul” which, I think, is a perfect way to describe it.

nice. I quite like the idea of being given the deathbed dose. Very intriguing.
