Where did you trip over that little fact then.

Having yesterday been told of a friend who is currently undergoing severe mental health problems due to a drink being spiked with LSD, I find it hard to revere this man's magnum opus.

Fair enough, but that would be like blaming Karl Friedrich Benz for the death of all car crash victims.

I'm of the belief that LSD would only highlight mental issues that already existed... it would not create them.

This is what I think is the medical view.

That's totally Hoffman's fault.

Just shut up really.

RIP Albert Hoffman. Here comes the ignorant as **** anti-drugs brigade to crap up this thread about who was otherwise a very intelligent and enlightened man.
