email from Rick Doblin of MAPS.org:

Quote:


"Albert died at home at 9 AM Basel time from a myocardial infarction, quick and relatively painless. Two caretakers were there with him at the time. The only people who were told were people from Burg, the village where he lived, and Peter and others were surprised the word of his death had gotten out so quickly. It's the age of the internet...


Albert had been increasingly thinking of death these last few months. He
had stopped leaving his home, where he said he could feel the spirit of
Anita, his wife who died December 20, 2007. He didn't come to the World
Psychedelic Forum a month ago, but did entertain some visitors at his
home. We spoke on the phone the day after the Basel conference and he
was happy and fulfilled. He'd seen the renewal of LSD psychotherapy
research with his own eyes, as had Anita. I said that I looked forward
to discussing the results of the study with him in about a year and a
half and he laughed and said he'd try to help the research however he
could, either from this side or "the other side".


Now it even more falls on younger generations to transform LSD into a
legal medicine and beyond that into a tool for personal growth legally
available to all."


Rick

A great rememorable quote.

“ I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be. ”
—Albert Hofmann

"The Budha Fa is most profound; among all the theories in the world, it is the
most intricate and extraordinary science.
In order to explore this domain, humankind must fundamentally change its conventional thinking. Otherwise, the truth of the universe will forever remain a mystery to humankind, and everyday people will forever crawl within the boundary delimited by their own ignorance."

-- Master Li Hongzhi, from "Lunyu,"
the introduction to Zhuan Falun

* The Buddha Fa--
the universal principles and law;
the way of the universe.

Good Hofmann quote from an obituary:

Quote:


He remained convinced that the drug had the potential to counter the psychological problems induced by “materialism, alienation from nature through industrialisation and increasing urbanisation, lack of satisfaction in professional employment in a mechanised, lifeless working world, ennui and purposelessness in wealthy, saturated society, and lack of a religious, nurturing, and meaningful philosophical foundation of life”.

I put up a request to get his wiki restriction lifted and it passed, so feel free to add some info so that people who will be looking at his page will know the truth! :thumbup:

Albert- you gave us the most beautiful accident. Thank you for the many bike rides through the years. You have made a lasting imprint on mankind and will be sorely missed. See you on the other side. :heart: :respect: :heart:
