Tripping out of this world
Farewell to Albert Hofmann, who at the age of 102 decided to take his last “trip”. The Swiss chemist was the father of LSD and biggest defender of lysergic acid diethylamide-25. He accidentally discovered LSD while working for a pharmaceutical firm back in 1938. Since 1966, when the drug was banned, he had been arguing for the legal use of LSD for medical research (which finally was allowed last year in Switzerland for psychotherapy). At an age of 102, I guess he was the best proof of the necessity of drugs for making life bearable.
