I wonder if he had a last-blast?
Either way, I hope he rests in peace. I don't see how he couldn't, knowing how many minds he opened.

Oh my. I am filled with a strange sort of sadness. Honestly, when I read this, my entire body started vibrating, from the top of my head down to the bottom of my feet. I'm not sad exactly. It's just death, and LSD has taught me so much about death.
So I'm not sad, but I am feeling a lot right now.

I think death is probably blissful.
Ever heard someone describe a stroke? (aka brain functions start to deteriorate)

I'm not a huge fan of LSD but his passing makes me sad.
Still, 102 is a good innings.

Wow. I don't even know what to say. I bet wherever he is, he is still teaching...and learning.

I haven't been able to find a news article about it yet. Thats why I posted it here instead of the news forum. News is too busy covering steroids in baseball and muslim terrorists to cover the story of Albert Hoffman.

Someone already edited his Wiki to reflect the date of death.
