the drugs dont work

 

Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered the hallucinogenic drug LSD, or Acid, has died of a heart attack at his home in Basel at the age of 102.

 

Mr Hofmann first produced LSD in 1938 while researching the medicinal uses of a crop fungus.

He accidentally ingested some of the drug and said later: "Everything I saw was distorted as in a warped mirror". For some reason Hoffmann thought the drug would be useful for people with mental health problems as if they didnt have enough  problems already.

 

Not to be confused with 60's activist Abbot ' Abbie '  Hoffmann  who was bi polar , busted for dealing drugs rather than inventing them and  committed suicide in 1989.
