When asked what his secret was for living such a long life, he probably said, "You have to take the time to stop and be the flowers once in a while." --from Reddit

*moment of silence*

Peace to everyone. Enjoy the sun today, if you can, and leave your respects.

Holy shit 102!!?? Old as fuck!

:( .........

For some reason I thought he was already dead, having died last year.

some one got the thread out before me. I just found out.

Yeah, I read that in the paper too.

Welcome to '07 jackass.

Man, no need for hate in a thread about Abbie, k? Check out the MAPS website:
11 January 1906 - 29 April 2008

Man, that is a bummer.

But 102 is a REALLY long life.

RIP

Another fallen hero.

RIP.

I hope he went easy.

I hope he went easy.

I couldn't image a heart attack as "EASY."

To the idiots such as stupid noob; his wife died last year, not him.

I don't think SN was disagreeing with me. crimsonsmoke, however, did.

RIP to the creator of one of the best discoveries in mankind history.

Oh man, that really sucks...Right after I just did a big paper on LSD too.

I never argued shit you dumb fuck.

that makes me really upset

I so wish I had some LSD to celebrate his death.

nb4 idiots getting offended at that

looks like LSD doesnt cause shorter life(not that anyone ever said it did)

RIP...this bong for him.

Rest in paradise.


That man changed the world.....

holy shit.

What was 4/19?

What anniversary?

Bicycle Day, the first time anyone ever took acid. (Hoffman spilled some on himself accidentally and started tripping balls on his bike ride home)

The fact that he made it to 102 says alot.

RIP.

He would want us to be celebrating his life and achievements rather than morning his death. Everyone join hands and form a circle!
*pulls out hippie guitar and starts playing Hurdy Gurdy Man*

Damn, this saddens me. It's probably for the best tho. It must have sucked being that old.

I'm finally going to try acid this summer too, I cant wait.

R.I.P.

Bicycle Day, the first time anyone ever took acid. (Hoffman spilled some on himself accidentally and started tripping balls on his bike ride home)

Actually April 16th is when Hoffman accidentally experienced a small amount of LSD for the first time. April 19th Hoffman intentionally took 250 ug and took the bike ride.

Oh, my bad. My memory is a serious POS.

Haha, it's cool man. Just wanted to get the facts straight for people who didn't know. R.I.P. Hoffman, long live LSD.

RIP i have had some of the great times in my life on LSD much love and respect.

looks like i will celebrate bicycle day, and his death day next april....

shame to see him go, he lived a long life, we lost one of the most important figures in drugs. how many others can say that their invention fueled an entire movement and lifestyle? He will be missed by many.

and for the chemist that is still alive, lets hope shulgin makes a full recovery from his valve replacement and lives to see 100...

RIP Albert.

Damn, I just had an incredibly meaningful acid trip on Monday. I'm glad he had such a full life. This next tab is for him.

A sad, sad day in history indeed. a wonderful man, who did a wonderful thing for all of us. i knew this was coming soon, i've actually been thinking about it lately being bicycle day was the other day. this man changed my life.

R. I. P.

this man changed my life.

mine as well, and im sure countless others...

LSD is only 65 years and 13 days old...

If it had kids, its kids would have kids by now.

*pays respects*

Next trips for you old boy. :(

I was thinking of ordering some more hydergine, too.

I wonder how old he was when he last tripped on acid. I really need to find a connection for LSD here soon. I've tripped on shrooms and stuff but LSD sounds way better.

and I'm working on mine. Thanks for the sources.

This fucking sucks. I figured that he was gonna be dead soon since he was so old, so my goal for the year was to find some LSD and try it before he died.

Albert Hoffman was a fucking genius and one of the greatest people of the last century. Rest in peace. :(

I guess he really is a saint now.

Rest in Peace. I heard it about it today at the lab, my boss told me. We decided to stop work early and drop acid. Sad trip(but still a great trip).

The weird thing is, Albert Hoffman fucking hated us problem chiildren, yet we still honor his death.

Brilliant Man.

Actually I probably owe this man quite a lot considering what LSD and hydergine have done for me.

I need to think up some sort of proper salute.

I wish my boss let me leave work early to take LSD.

I also thought he had died already, R.I.P.

After I'm done with exams in about a month I'll do a ten hits trip in his honour, it's something I had already planned anyway, now I've got a good excuse to do it.

No wonder my trip yesterday was so odd, very spiritual and lots of answers.

rest in peace doc.

but to all of those individuals implying there's a spiritual connection between molecules and a deceased man, i merely wish to implicate that you're all either very high... or i'm very low at the mother fucking moment :(

Or it could be the theory that when you die your energy is disbursed throughout the universe into the places it is needed to most. Kind of like reincarnation but without being selfish.

i can only wonder what he wrote down in his will.

:(

thats what i just said...christ.

Ill take a knee for him....

Yeah, well, fuck your theory.

Yeah, well, fuck your theory.

Seriously... that was the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

RIP. Should be tripping soon.

Oh fuck!

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!


:(

God Bless you Mr.Hoffman. You were one of the real saints. God bless you.........:(


:(

May you rest next to John Lennon, Aldux Huxley, and all those other legends......:(

John Lennon

Why was he included?

You forget yourself sir

Albert Hoffman RIP

My buddy's dad went to his 100th birthday

Will be tripping soon.

He's one of the few people I consider saints.

Rest in Peace. I heard it about it today at the lab, my boss told me. We decided to stop work early and drop acid. Sad trip(but still a great trip).

Explain to me how he qualifies as a saint.

its actually hofmann, not hoffman...

Ooooooh.... sick burn!

Explain to me how he qualifies as a saint.

Personal.

He performed at least 2 miracles. He invented LSD and discovered psilocybin and psilocin.

lol oops, I wasn't paying attention. John Lennon performed at least 2 miracles also, he got rich and influenced a lot of people.

This was a truly great man. Invented a wonder drug and last year opened the minds of the masses about LSD as well as helping MDMA research.

1 miracle: Getting people to listen to his garbage.

You're not referring to his music are you? As in saying the Beatles are garbage?

Yes, my opinion.

EDIT: Except Rocky raccoon. Come to think of it, its more of him being instantly classed as an "authority" with all his political/revolutionary/spiritual bullshit.

RIP. I still have yet to try LSD, but when I do, I'll be thinking of the great Swiss upstairs.

He was swiss dumb ass.

Yes, my opinion.
