Albert Hofmann was born in Baden, Switzerland in 1906. He graduated from the University of Zürich with a degree in chemistry in 1929 and went to work for Sandoz Pharmaceutical in Basel, Switzerland. With the laboratory goal of working towards isolation of the active principles of known medicinal plants, Hofmann worked with Mediterranean squill (Scilla maritima) for several years, before moving on to the study of Claviceps purpurea (ergot) and ergot alkaloids.Over the next few years, he worked his way through the lysergic acid derivatives, eventually synthesizing LSD-25 for the first time in 1938. After minimal testing, LSD-25 was set aside as he continued with other derivatives. Four years later, on April 16, 1943, he re-synthesized LSD-25 because he felt he might have missed something the first time around. That day, he became the first human to experience the effects of LSD after accidentally ingesting a minute amount. Three days later, on April 19, 1943, he decided to verify his results by intentionally ingesting 250 ug of LSD. This day has become known as "Bicycle Day" as Hofmann experienced an incredible bicycle ride on his way home from the lab.In addition to his discovery of LSD, he was also the first to synthesize psilocybin (the active constituent of 'magic mushrooms') in 1958. Albert Hofmann, known as the 'father of LSD', continued to work at Sandoz until 1971 when he retired as Director of Research for the Department of Natural Products. Since that time he has continued to write, lecture, and play a leading role as an elder in the psychedelic community.

Hmmmm...I don't really watch too many tv shows. The closest i come to that is cartoons. Everyone likes cartoons yO!
One of the things i have always been interrested in is researching and studying different religions and beliefs. One of the books i really enjoyed was....
"Beyond Birth and Death"
By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaIs there life after death? Follow the soul's journey past the universe.The past decade has seen an increase in the number of people who believe in reincarnation. For many reincarnation-leaving this body and taking a new one, over and over again-is a fact of life. But coming back again and again (samsara) doesn't have to remain an eternal reality. We can leave the cycle permanently.This little, powerful book will open your eyes and allow you to break the cycle of pain.
Be Here Now by Ram DassBe Here Now is the book that opened a whole generation of Westerners to the teachings of the East. Ram Dass detailed his personal journey from Harvard professor Richard Alpert to becoming a devotee of Neem Caroli Baba as Ram Dass. Along the way he took a lot of acid and drew a lot of pictures. Much of the the book is filled with very cool psychedelic art and much is filled with recipes for getting straight and leading a sacred life. Chapters include discussion of the the guru teacher relationship, use of asana, pranayam and mantra. Sexual energy and right liveliehood are discussed and much much more. It is a great manual for bringing spirituality into everyday life.
