APRIL 16

Have you heard of Albert Hofmann?  He was a Swiss scientist.  On this date in 1943, he accidentally discovered that a chemical compound with which he was working caused hallucinogenic effects.  The compound was lysergic acid diethylamide - commonly known as LSD.   Not only was he the first to synthesize it, three days later he took a full dose under the watchful eye of his companions.  He continued to take doses of it the rest of his life and died trying to find a good use for the drug other than it's psychedelic effects - he lived to be 102.
