Fight #0069: Albert Hofmann - LSD and the Nature of Reality

Albert Hofmann

Dr. Albert Hofmann was a Swiss scientist best known for having been the first to synthesize, ingest and communicate the strong hallucinogenic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Hofmann authored more than 100 scientific articles and wrote a number of books, including “LSD: My Problem Child”. The speech he gave called “LSD and the Nature of Reality” was presented before the international conference “Hallucinogens, Shamanism and Modern Life” in San Francisco on the afternoon of Saturday, September 30, 1978.

Please don’t send me something back that is 33 minutes long. Let’s try to keep it to 10 or less (emphasis on less) please. Slice and dice. :)

As a bonus, I’ve included a ZIP pack of sounds from the Thingamagoop, from Bleep Labs.
