Hoffmann died on April 29, 2008 in Basel. He was 102 years old.
I looked for any articles online and couldnt find anything about this.
Where did you find this info?
Truly, it is a very sad day for millions.

Hofmann's death could actually end up being one of the best things that happens to the psychedelic drug scene/movement since the creation of LSD 60+ years ago. Society has a way of fully processing someone's contributions after they die in a way that they couldn't while the person was still alive.
If Hofmann has indeed died we are going to see big articles about him, and about psychedelic research, in all the big mags - TIME, Scientific American, Discovery...people are going to be all over this.
I am excited to be alive when I am.

Today is a day that millions of people will have the same strange feelings associated with his death.
I don't even think it's sadness, just a strange feeling.

RIP Great One.
Thank you Dr. Hoffman, for the many gifts you blessed the world with.
Too many emotions to feel, What a true blessing that he was
--------------------
Please don't take my word for it, seek legal advice from a qualified legal professional
The thesis that I want to advance today is that the drug war and the laws that prohibit the private consumption of certain drugs are unconstitutional. Prohibition laws, themselves, violate every tenet of limited government that is embodied in our Constitution.
