3 years ago today.  Hofmann died of natural causes on April 29, 2008, in the village of Burg im Leimental, near Basel, Switzerland. He was 102 years old. 

May he rest in peace. :peace:

lol well I guess I'm just tired of how so many people think psychedelics are so spiritual and what not. I do not see how you compare him to ghandi, someone who willingly suffered for his people vs someone who accidentally discovered something. Something which actually did cause a great deal of harm and IMO misdirect much spiritual longing and energies.

BTW I think Gandhi is also over-glorified I not consider him remarkably spiritually advanced as much as I do a hero. His philosophy of non-violence at all costs was impracticable and flawed.


The real heroes are rarely ever talked about or glorified as they should be.

ah and here is the problem.

you seem to be under the impression this thread is about "spiritual gurus"

it in fact is about the death of a swedish scientist.

glad we cleared up that confusion :thumbup:

Just like anything else in life, and perhaps life itself, psychedelics are only as "spiritual" as the intent of the consciousness involved. I put 'spiritual' in quotes because I think it's such a loaded word which means different things to different people. Hoffman recognized this power and respected psychedelics, which is more than I can say for most I know.

Uhh okay the thread is but then it's out of place this is a spiritual forum so I assumed his death was perceived as having some spiritual significance.

Indeed. Psychedelics in general can have a profound effect on a person and LSD being perhaps the KING of psychedelics that much more profound.. either for good or bad. Personally however if I was making this thread I'd give that man some true respect and actually explain to the readers as to WHY they should give a shit.
