Happy Birthday LSD!

Apr 16 1943
Chemist Albert Hofmann inadvertently experiences the world's first acid trip when a tiny quantity of lysergic acid diethylamide accidently seeps through the skin of his finger. After leaving work early, he went home and settled into "a not unpleasant intoxicated condition." Then he had solid two hours of visual hallucinations: "I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors." It will be another three days before Hofmann gets up the courage to swallow 250 micrograms and ride his bicycle home.

So, what are you doing to celebrate?

I think by the time I was old enough to do it, it had been diluted a great deal from it's original potency. I never really hallucinated, but it felt a lot like 'shrooms- speedy, sort of spacy and everything was brighter, funnier and more amazing than when sober. I'm glad I never had a bad trip, but I know others who did.

I love it because it was not only recreationally fun, but psychenautically psychoactive, human improvement resulting, and issue resolution compelling.

Ah, le sigh. Le Sigh, Darling.
