Final Trip

Albert Hofmann, the "father" of LSD, has died in Switzerland at the ripe age of 102. Hofmann discovered the psychedelic drug in 1938, and initially hoped that it would be used to treat mental disorders. Ironically, the abuse of LSD did more to create mental disorders than to resolve them.

In his later years, Hofmann wrote and lectured, taking many foreign trips. Using an airplane.
