Lsd Should Be Treated As A Sacred

Albert Hofmann

More From Albert Hofmann

Lsd was my "wonder child", we had a positive reaction from everywhere in the world. around two thousand publications about it appeared in scientific journals and everything was fine. then, at the beginning of the 1960s, here in the united states, lsd became a drug of abuse. in a short time, this wave of popular use swept the country and it became "drug number one". it was then used without caution and people were not prepared and informed about its deep effects. instead of a "wonder child", lsd suddenly became my "problem child".

People are very good [at] thinking about agents. the mind is set really beautifully to think about agents. agents have traits. agents have behaviors. we understand agents. we form global impression of their personalities. we are really not very good at remembering sentences where the subject of the sentence is an abstract notion.

People who use lsd today know how to use it. therefore, i hope that the health authorities will get the insight that lsd, if it is used properly, is not a dangerous drug. we actually should not refer to it as drug; this word has a very bad connotation. we should use another name.

The characteristic property of hallucinogens, to suspend the boundaries between the experiencing self and the outer world in an ecstatic, emotional experience, makes it posible with their help, and after suitable internal and external perparation, to evoke a mystical experience according to plan, so to speak. i see the true importance of lsd in the possibility of providing material aid to meditation aimed at the mystical experience of a deeper, comprehensive reality. such a use accords entirely with the essence and working character of lsd as a sacred drug.

Lsd is no longer playing a bad role in the drug scene and psychiatrists are again trying to submit their proposals for research with this substance to the health authorities. i hope that lsd will again become available in the normal way, for the medical profession. then it could play the role it really should, a beneficial role.

Estate agents. you can't live with them, you can't live with them. the first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. with their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. if you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. there's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. estate agents. love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so i thought i was stupid. i was frustrated and would come home and cry because i couldn't do it. then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. that made all the difference and i learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.

That's not what i'm looking forward to, just being home and just kind of not really sure kind of what to do with myself.

I do not want to be the angel of any home: i want for myself what i want for other women, absolute equality. after that is secured, then men and women can take turns being angels.

I don't know what my label is. i just think of myself as a plain forward. i like to think i have some finesse to my game, but inside the paint is where men are made. if you can't play there, you should be home with your mama.
