Hofmann defended his invention.
It's not an invention, it's a discovery.
I think maybe the writer was on LSD.

The guy in the snow blower is washing the salt off and out, and there's not a man or woman here in FR that hasn't tried something, at least once, and said no thanks.
There's two kinds of acid ... the LIFE magazine kind, and the stuff that stops you in your tracks to marvel at your own thoughts and perception(s).

Are they positive he died, or could it be that he’s simply in an altered state?

He tuned it, he turned on, and now he’s dropped out . . . for good.

What a long, strange trip it’s been!

People forget that it was a drug used by psychiatrists for a while, or that the CIA tried it as an interrogation tool.
Thats it, give all the folks at Gitmo LSD, and listen to what they say.
The liberal answer to waterboarding. Chemical interrogation.

I always thought a discovery was always existed and an invention was the building of some thing from different components, compounds etc.LSD was not one single ingredient but a group combined to form L.S.D.Not a single ingredient that was discovered....hence an INVENTION.

Age 102? See, using dangerous drugs will cut your life short.
LSD My Problem Child By Dr Albert Hofmann is a great read.

I’m pretty sure that while LSD-like compounds exist in nature, when Hofmann was experimenting and “discovered” it, it was one of a number of substances which had been synthesized. Thus, describing it as an invention would not be entirely inaccurate. In much the same way, although salicylic acid exists naturally in willow bark, for example, ASA was an invention of chemists, who synthesized it from, IIRC, coal tar.

"there's not a man or woman here in FR that hasn't tried something, at least once, and said no thanks."Here's one!
I've never done illegal drugs, I've never taken a prescription pain killer.
Other than asprin, I've only had antibiotics or medically applied anestitia for a couple of operations, toothe extracton etc....
However, I do enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner or a Pina Colda on the beach.
Just never got into illegal drugs.

I’d bet it worked for interrogation, only, they probably didn’t want to hear what the person was saying after a while! :)
