i find the story of albert hoffman synthesizing lsd to be entirely unbelievable. he details it in his book and the story is:

- in 1938 he had a list of compounds to synthesize and inject into mice

- most do nothing, one of them, the 25th item in the list, causes restlessness. he notes this and moves on to the next

- none of the many compounds tested produced any significant results and nothing comes of this

- 5 years later he just one day remembers that one lsd compound, number 25, that produced restlessness and decides to remake it and ingest it himself

this is the kind of totally unbelievable macguffin type stuff you see written into the 7th movie of a long series when they run out of ideas. this is like when a show jumps the shark with some flashback to an earlier season with a “it was planned all along” trope

okay so 419 is now psychedelic and 420 is weed. We are in for a long weekend.

This day holds a specific significance to me, as it's ten years since my first psychedelic experience - with LSD.

The coincidence between this and bitcoin halving is fucking hilarious

Do NOT do LSD before the age of 25 (male brain full maturity)

And then 4/20... and that's just a coincidence?

It's enough to make one a bit paranoid even without partaking.

Edit: I just went and re ordered Albert Hofman's book LSD my problem child. Its been a long time but I remember it as being informative!
