...how frightening it was for albert hofmann when he accidentally first ingested the acid? to start seeing patterns everywhere and thinking you've just totally gone insane forever? btw does anybody know how much he ingested?

He believed he had poisoned himself and was possibly going to die, but of coarse as a chemist he continued taking notes and at one point called his wife. He ingested around 250m, which is anywhere from 3-6 hits now....I had a similar experience my first trip, I was young and no one told me anything about tripping, I only took about half what he had and I can't really imagine ingesting that much self made substance in a lab, trying to take notes and hold it together.....

the accidental dose that first made him want to try a human test subject was possibly absorbed through the skin or maybe a micro-splash became airborne and was inhaled (chemists are generally quite careful when handling unknown, potentially toxic compounds...); after feeling quite odd that day, dr hoffman returned to his sandoz laboratory and purposefully ingested 1/4 of a milligram --- & 250 mikes is enough to capture most anybody's attention for several hours ;) ...

Re-typed as best I could from 'LSD, My Problem Child'... 'Last Friday, April 16, 1943, I was forced to interrupt my work in the laboratory in the middle of the afternoon and proceed home, being affected by a remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away.' 'Exercising extreme caution, I began the planned series of experiments with the smallest quantity that could be expected to produce some effect, considering the activity of the ergot alkaloids known at the time: namely, 0.25 mg ... of lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate...' From the very first trip report EVER.. '4/19/43 16:20: 0.5 cc of 1/2 promil aqueous solution of diethylamide tartrate orally = 0.25 mg tartrate. Taken diluted with about 10 cc water. Tasteless.' He tripped his fucking balls off that night! ;-) Hydro has spoken! Please! Tell me about the fucking golf shoes!Edited by Hydro on 06/21/01 06:45 PM.

Did everyone's IQ just drop in this forum? I swear if someone comes up with a conversation that actually has a bit of depth it just fades away, but if someone posts something like 'sex while trippin' or 'stupid people please reply to this thread' everyone will jump in there and keep it going for weeks on end. Oh well..

I think that's pretty cool, but i can't believe he could keep his sanity with having absolutely no clue what was going on.

true, but apparently he had a good enough trip that he decided to do it again :) if he had a bad trip i highly doubt he would have continued on LSD-25.

"From the very first trip report EVER.. " I think technically the oral tradition of native americans passin on knowledge of mushrooms would be the first trip report. just making a arguementative post because I'm bored.

Yeah teach Like there are all sorts of cave paintings from Africa to the Amazon depicting intoxicated exstatic mushroom men and women dancing, running, those came way before Al Hoffman. I think about this scientist tripping his balls off riding a bike and it cracks me up inside. THANK YOU ALBERT :o)
