Description
"LSD my difficult child" -. Albert Hofmann (1906-2008) was a Swiss chemist, member of the Nobel Committee and former director of the Research Division of the Sandoz drug factory.
On April 19, 1943, at 4:20 p.m., Albert Hofmann performed a self-experiment, taking a substance he had invented - LSD. The event changed his life forever. Soon LSD became known around the world, serving as an experimental drug, a subject of discussion among psychiatrists and philosophers, and one of the foundations of the hippie movement. LSD - for some became synonymous with the chemical path to Nirvana, for others - a satanic drug, and for still others - a tool with unheard-of potential for exploring our consciousness. Aldous Huxley, dying, asked his wife to give him just LSD. It's easy to say that when it comes to this substance, things got out of hand. However, how did it all happen? What was the birth of the "miracle drug" like?
