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.

Yeah, acid used to be plentiful and cheap back in the day. I prefer mushrooms myself, doesn't last as long so I don't spend the last four hours of my trip hating everything.

Title: Re: albert hoffman possibly dead
Post by: TVC15 on April 29, 2008, 08:15:17 PM: I remember like the second time I did acid was the same day Warcraft 2 came out. That was basically the best day ever. And then one time I watched like 8 hours of bootlegged Dragonball Z because the Cartoon Network was taking too goddamned long. And it all made sense and seemed well paced.

I can't do LSD. I think I just have way too many demons in my mind to comfortably do LSD. Mushrooms, that's my stuff. Used to grow my own, and there is really no better feeling than knowing that you have a shitload of trips right there in your closet. And I like pills, although it gets expensive to eat yourself into a trip with pills.

Funny, because it's the opposite for me. Shrooms really fucked with my head. Although, in retrospect, the environment wasn't the best.

Post by: duckman2000 on April 29, 2008, 08:43:00 PM: If you ever want to feel really fucked up, like, deliberately throw yourself into a spiritual disease sort of fucked up, then eat a handful of shrooms, a couple of pills, drink a strong tonic and then finish it off with three lines of Ketamine. Try and space it out over an hour or so. Your back yard will have never appeared more alien and hostile.

Now, LSD to me is almost as bad. I'm almost scared of it.

I only watched the first one, but that was awesome. I wanna drop acid, eat hot dogs, and I dunno, listen to Can. Can would be good LSD music.

I only did Ketamine once. I really don't see why people would want to experience the sensation more than once. I couldn't move at all for like 10 minutes. It felt like gravity was supercharged, or like any "orders" I was sending to my limbs were just being ignored. Eventually I was able to get up, and everything felt so heavy, and it was difficult to walk or move around. It felt like I was in outer space. For the most part, I was still in my head, so it wasn't like there was much of a worthwhile high to it.

Post by: duckman2000 on April 29, 2008, 09:14:29 PM: I've never done just Ketamine; it's always been that last really bad idea of the night, you know. I like tranquilizers though, but from what I hear it's not all that brilliant when taken by itself. Not that it's great on pills or shrooms either, but it's certainly interesting.

Post by: bengraven on April 29, 2008, 09:22:35 PM: I took LSD once. A friend talked me into buying a tab and we put under our tongues on the bikeride home. It was like 11 o'clock at night and I asked him how long it would take to kick in. "We had better ride fast", he said. I asked him how long it would last. "Probably until tomorrow morning...hope you weren't expecting to sleep."

I had to work the next day at 9 a.m.

It rocked.

Post by: lordmaji on April 29, 2008, 10:34:40 PM: Mushrooms are a good time.

I haven't drop LSD yet. But I will soon. :) Waiting for the right warm day to do it. Also the 12 hours of nothing to do would be nice.

One time my friends and I did a bunch of key bumps of ketamine in the bathroom of the strip club in downtown Athens. It was the most hilarious night because NOTHING made sense. We'd just sit at our table, nurse our drinks and laugh like idiots at the naked girls.
