Take a trip with me, on this day back in 1943… a chemistry experiment yields LSD. Now press play on the video above and continue reading...
While researching pharmaceuticals, Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman accidently consumed a synthetic drug he’d created 5 years earlier: lysergic acid diethylamide. Partay tiiiime! He described his unusual experience in his notes, saying that, “I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors.” Of course he took it again to confirm his reaction. Uh huh, sure thing doc. So thank you Dr. Hoffman for greatly enhancing the 1960’s with his “mind-expanding” drug. Hallelujah hallucinations! Thanks to LSD the financial landscape is changed forever!
Let’s be honest. The United States wastes way too much money trying to fight the losing effort known as a drug war. Marijuana is one of California’s biggest cash crops… do you know how much government revenue legalizing weed would bring in?! If people want to spend their lives doing drugs, then let them. I'm not saying living in an alley with infected track marks is acceptable, but we waste billions every year fighting this incredibly ineffective war on drugs when we could just creatively embrace and regulate the use while simultaneously increasing our revenue stream exponentially! Yeah, maybe a lot of people would die, but that’s a personal choice – survival of the fittest. Weed em out!
You know you love the Beatles...and take this article with a grain of salt.
