The End of an Era

A poster on reddit today has announced that Albert Hofmann, beloved inventor of the best drug on the planet, passed away yesterday evening:
This isn't in the news yet. I'm from Basel and Hoffmann lived close (in Burg). My friends mother helped to look after him, he died last night (of old age probably, he was 102).

You might not belive one source you don't know and who has no way to back up his claims but it's true. It will probably go public soon.


I'm posting this here as it has been confirmed to me by several sources within the community. Let's all take a moment to bow our heads in silence for the passing of a truly visionary individual. So long Al, thanks for EVERYTHING.

You changed much more than we think when we quickly consider! You changed the whole culture! Without this Discovery there would probably be no 60s counterculture, this most beautiful rebellion!
I believe we're YET to know the whole consequences.

R.I.P. Albert Hofmann! For all the work he's done, and the century he lived, heres to him.

Wow...me too... I searched ebay for his book, Problem Child, at 6:30 a.m. EST. I bought a mint copy from Basel almost 4 years ago and for some reason he was just on my mind. I even paused the movie I was watching(Low budget flick named "Sight").

Thank You, St. Albert, for creating/discovering such heady organic "software". :oP

By the way, is it possible to for example add the image of a black ribbon to the logo? I guess it wouldn't be out of place at DoseNation for some time... :((
Nowhere Girl. : 2008-04-29 15:54:57
Rest in peace, Herr Doktor. And if I may add some personal thanks, thank you for the autograph you had sent me back when I was 17.
Definitely something will never be the same... :((((((
