Happy Birthday Dr. Albert Hoffman!

It's past midnight here in the EST time zone, and well past midnight in Basel where Dr. Hoffman lives. Here's a toast to his 102(!) years on this earth, his contributions to the field of psychopharmacology and to his continuing devotion to the legitimization of LSD as a viable medicinal and psychoanalytical aid as well as a tool for personal growth. We love you, Dr. Hoffman. Happy Birthday, and here's to many more!
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

I came up with this theory while tripping one time that Albert Hoffman was the anti-christ an he is never going to die, hence why he is so old.
It could be true.

Happy Birthday Dr. Hoffman! it also happens to be my friends birthday today.
-------------------- "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein

I know he hasn't done them an extravagant amount of times... If you want someone who's done a lot of acid tim leary is a better choice. I think hoffman has tripped no more than 20 times, maybe less if I remember correctly.

If anyone has watched Hoffman's Potion you'll see how old everyone is on the documentry..and it's not because they just happen to be the ones still alive; they are all important people like Hoffman, Ram Dass and a whole bunch of doctors who took LSD back when it was legal.
I'm almost certain that LSD makes you live longer because of the sense of happiness and contentment that it can create in your life. And we all know happy people live longer.
Happy Birthday Albert and here's to many more

Ah yes, he's 102 now, huh?
The first time I tripped on acid, I mean really tripped (weak shit was going around a LOT at the time), I checked the news the morning after. That very day WAS Hofmann's 100th birthday. That was fucking awesome.
I do believe that LSD, used correctly, can extend one's lifespan. This is obviously not always true (look at Tim Leary), but not just anyone who uses it gets to live longer.

True point. 75 is a ripe, satisfactory age. Somehow I had it in my head that he died in his 50's or 60's, but a quick wiki proves me wrong. Thanks for correcting me.
Either way, it's not quite as flabbergasting as the ongoing centenarianship of Dr. Hofmann.

I'm pretty sure Albert Hofmann is still alive at the age of 102. I'll have to check on that though.

This statement is a bit strange to me. Could you elaborate on what you mean by "using correctly" and on why you think LSD can extend one's life? As far as I know, there have never been any studies which have demonstrated this.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

They say that a cat can add years to a persons life by the happieness or joy it brings them, I'd believe that LSD could add years to a persons life too. Acid has brought me plenty of happieness and joy.
