Albert Hofmann, the Father of LSD, Dies at 102
Though Dr. Hofmann called LSD “medicine for the soul,” by 2006 his hallucinogenic days were long behind him, he said in the interview that year. “I know LSD; I don’t need to take it anymore,” he said, adding. “Maybe when I die, like Aldous Huxley.” But he said LSD had not affected his understanding of death. In death, he said, “I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that’s all.”
saint albert, the healer, thank you for the soul medicine.

i took a course in college called beat generation spirituality and came away from it with a profound love of allen ginsberg, and of course, his poem howl. even got to write a paper at the end of the course about the grateful dead... so i'm digging this for the next 30 minutes before my favorite radio show...
