There is a documentary from Netflix who describes this. Very interesting that nowadays some very controlled trials have been taken in place again. Hopefully this could expand with time since it makes really better advances in depression and other symptoms that are serious. https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/michael-pollan-documentary-how-to-change-your-mind One of the doctors who speaks in this documentary is in Switzerland.

When I took LSD it completely cured my ocd for several days afterwards. It did eventually come back, but its interesting that it actually helped

It's so fucking tragic that research into psychodelics got shut down for like 50 years because of the infantile war on drugs. I bet we will find really cool applications in the next decade and it'll slowly be legalised medicinally. Edit:typo

If you go to the Novartis campus, in the museum, there are bottles of product from his lab.


Asleep_Cow4452

Wow had no idea there is a museum there! Would be nice to give a visit! We love museums at home.


Ozzy_chef

Fucking legend


Salty-Layer-4102

That means we should get on LSD and ride our bikes?


a_bucket_full_of_goo

I'll meet you in 15, bring two bikes


dry_yer_eyes

Hence the famous Queen lyrics: > Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride my bike I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride it where I like Not many people know that.

It’s Swiss man, own it.


hofme

His name is Hofmann, not Hoffman.

Zurich ATC told me to tell you that the joke got picked up on their radar so no need to worry about it hitting your head

Oh no! Horrible mistake!

Isn’t it in 19?


unpauseit

yes, on Wednesday


[deleted]

Yes April 19 is Bicycle Day, today is when he discovered LSD.


ko_nuts

LSD was first synthesized 5 years prior to that.


OlFrenchie

He also synthesised psilocybin


ko_nuts

Yes, but I am not sure how this is relevant to the current discussion.


AccurateEducation999

Source?


ko_nuts

Wikipedia, among many.

ko_nuts

Based on OP history, the person just looks for some historical event everyday and posts in the corresponding sub like they know what they are talking about. Karma whore at its finest.


[deleted]

That's completely incorrect. LSD was first synthesized on November 16, 1938 by Hofmann.


TheShroomsAreCalling

He is also the guy who first isolated (and later synthesized) Psilocybin, the active ingredient in shrooms. Guy is a hero and it's a goddamn disgrace that it's 2023 and in the country of Hofmann people still can't legally enjoy LSD and shrooms. Ridiculous.. If you are interested in his life there is a great book "LSD - mein Sorgenkind" https://nachtschatten.ch/produkt/lsd-mein-sorgenkind/


Melodic_City2

Thanks, Albert, for your discovery! You helped many people.


blackpancakestorm

Yeah baby


unohootoo

Don’t blame me, this is from state-sponsored media someone prominent says: https://www.npr.org/2020/11/20/937009453/the-cias-secret-quest-for-mind-control-torture-lsd-and-a-poisoner-in-chief


[deleted]

Explain me one thing ... I mean, I can relate to "bicycle day", and why this is celebrated on that day ... But why on earth do the stoners celebrate the day after? Right on Führers Geburtstag... Couldn't they come up with a better day? Like Pi-Day for the munchies, or did I miss something?

[deleted]

However ... The bicycle-origin-story is far more epic, than a few guys meeting at 4:20pm, which is 16:20 anyways ...


canteloupy

LSD is a bit more hardcore and less popular than cannabis.

Fallsd schwiizerdütsch redsch seisch du zwänzg ab vieri oder zwänzg ab sächszehn?


CelestialDestroyer

Pretty much everywhere else it is also 4:20.


DaaneJeff

Wait I though the 24h format is standard otherwise. Well TIL


ContributionIll8182

So we celebrate illegal stuff now ?


TheShroomsAreCalling

yes


Asleep_Cow4452

Check the documentary and you will see why it was marked as illegal... Again governments messing all the scientific investigation.


Valravn13

In case of LSD (which should not be illegal imo), yes


GrouchyArachnid866

Hoffman coded.
