football_fan 42 Posted September 25, 2005 Albert Hofmann at his 98th birthday party, last year. He looked in better nick then than, say, Gerald Ford looks now. EDIT : Here is a link to a (fairly lengthy) discussion including the voice of AH on his 99th birthday. Memory slow but marbles intact. Thanks for that link Captain Oates. Albert Hofmann is one of my 2005 ddp picks , but from that picture, he definitely looked like he has a few years left in him. I now expect for him to live to his 100th birthday. Regards, ff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted September 29, 2005 Those arent old Hoffys kids are they?If so im off to try out some of that LSD myself! How amusing it would be to learn your father was 99 years old. "Talk about being tortured in school" I don't know about you trying LSD Iain. Today it is a very difficult drug to find and very exspensive. They probobly sell a smaller dosage of it which they now call acid. Iain here's some advice - If you feel the need to get messed up..drink some beers, smoke some grass, chug magical mushrooms just don't smoke crack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted October 2, 2005 Wondered if Albert Hoffman ever dropped his own creation and had a trip where he imagined he was amongst fifty people on a list accessed by the whole world who were expected to die within 12 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 26, 2005 I came to this thread to see what people thought about keeping him on the DL next year, but decided to listen to Captain Oates sound clip first... sounds good for a 99 year old, but it was so frustrating to listen to that I had to shut it off after about a minute. So what do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 26, 2005 So what do you think? I think West Cumbria has suffered too long from the cynical neglect of successive British governments. Their casual indifference - leaving us with the questionable benefits of a massive nuclear power station and sporadic tourist coaches filled with massed hordes possessed of little more intelligence than cattle - has consistently deprived the honest and decent people of this region of their due rewards.

What do you think? That while Middle Eastern economist Tarik M. Yousef provides a traditionalist view on economic underdevelopment in the Middle East and North African regions, his ideals speak to the "quick-fix" aspect of our personalities, the one that wishes to see a solution within the next two decades. I think that Timur Kuran has contributed more to modern global deliberation on the topic with his theory of institutional economics as the root cause of modern poverty and tumult. What do you think?

Guest Guest Posted December 5, 2005 Hofmann is, indeed, a legend. No, LSD is not a fungus. LSD is a syntethic drug created from Lysergic Acid. Which can be found in ergot fungus. I wonder if they'll have some black market LSD in the LSD Symposium 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted January 5, 2006 Albert Hoffman has passed away it seems! It is not sure... some say he is dead, some not... anyway, the main purpose of LSD when invented was to kill people. I don't know which war was it... People were given "LSD Shower" (One drop makes you high. A shower.... hmmmm ), so they were goin' mad in a couple of seconds and started killing each other. However, LSD is a psychedelic drug, totally different than any other. It affects only your brain (unlike the other drugs that destroy your body too) and it is there for the rest of your life. That's why the "flashbacks" appear... damn, I started it again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
