An accidental hero, Hofmann initially "discovered'' the drug formally known as lysergic acid diethylamide-25 way back in 1938, while he was studying medicinal uses of a fungus for Sandoz pharmaceuticals. A few years later, in 1943, he got a dose of the real deal when a small amount seeped into his finger during a lab experiment.

My feelings are every. People start to go crazy, am I ? The fear, of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time or at the place. Having this feeling makes no one feel better. So should I try an act how I always do. I always act happy and that nothing bothers me. How can I hold it all in?? That is the real question hopefully thing will change.

I recently got my hands on the rare but classic

Is There Life on Other Worlds
by Poul Anderson
(with an introduction by Isaac Asimov)
Crowell-Collier Press, 1963

I highly recommend it.
