It isn't hard to have an affinity with Al Hofmann. It turns out that like MDMA LSD was an empathic. [besides, My Grandparents were Hofman's.]

Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered the hallucinogenic drug LSD, has died of a heart attack at his home in Basel at the age of 102.
Mr Hofmann first produced LSD in 1938 while researching the medicinal uses of a crop fungus.
He accidentally ingested some of the drug and said later: "Everything I saw was distorted as in a warped mirror."
He argued for decades that LSD could help treat mental illness, but in the 1960s it became a popular street drug. Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered the hallucinogenic drug LSD, has died of a heart attack at his home in Basel at the age of 102.

(and thus it should be added, LSD is on evidence and contrary to harm reduction principles, inappropriately classified. /Blair )

On death, Hofmann said, “I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, that’s all.”
On April 19th, 1943, Hofmann created the most powerful psychotropic substance: LSD, and experienced the first LSD “trip”. He was a chemist who valued a drug as a way to understand people’s oneness with nature.
