Albert Hofmann, the creator and inventor of LSD, died a few days ago on April 29th. In an era of psychedelic drug synthesis, Albert Hofmann was a pioneer. He not only founded LSD but also synthesized the “magic” ingredient of shrooms called psilocybin. Upon some reading, I found that the creation of LSD was an accident. He was attempting to create drugs to improve circulation and respiratory problems and instead, accidently created lysergic acid diethylamide (Better known in the common name of LSD) outa mushrooms. It’s a bit crazy to think that a man who synthesized LSD was able to live up to the age of 102 don’t you think?
