LSD: The Sacred Drug That Almost Destroyed Science
Albert Hofmann, the chemist who accidentally discovered LSD in 1943, shares his personal journey from a mystical childhood in the Swiss Alps to the creation of a substance that would shake the foundations of psychiatry, spirituality, and Western society. In his book 'LSD: My Problem Child,' Hofmann reveals the shocking truth: this potent psychedelic, with a dose measured in micrograms, has almost zero physiological toxicity yet triggered a global crisis. He explains how it was initially hailed as a miracle drug for psychotherapy, then demonized as a threat to social order. Dive into the paradox of a substance that offers profound insights into consciousness but risks psychological chaos. Discover why Hofmann called it his 'problem child' and what it means for the future of science and spirituality.
