Wouldn’t we all. Psilocybin cubensis is easier to obtain/ produce. Shorter duration, but just as intense. Funny, ergot and cubensis both love rye grain.

I would love to have a few squares of window pane right now!

In reply to david jewell. David Jewell, I imagine that you chauffeured Albert to the 1976 Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Conference in Port Townshend, Washington? The one put on by Jeremy Bigwood, & Jonathan Ott? A historic moment in time ghat you were part of. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Altered State.

I am amazed by the understanding of this advanced chemistry, and inspired by the ideas behind these discoveries which confirm older theories, as well as spawning even more ideas. You all rock!

Very respectfully – Omar

In reply to Enrico Uva. Another interesting note. The Lysergic acid production with Clalviceps is the most difficult part to accomplish. Even before the synthesis of a lifetime! if anyone can show me proof ever being successful with lysergic acid production I would be shocked.

In reply to Rich. You are right. I'm not a native English speaker, and at the time I wrote this article (almost 6 yeas ago now!), I wasn't exactly fluent. I appreciate your advice and consider doing a revision of my older posts when I get the chance.

I intend no offense, but you should consider using a proof reader. This is an interesting story, one I am familiar with both historically and chemically, but it is littered with grammatical errors which could easily be corrected by someone having the appropriate expertise.

Totally off topic, in the early 70’s I had the opportunity to act as Albert Hoffman’s chauffer. One afternoon we went to Port Townsend Washington and stopped at a tavern for a pitcher of beer. While we were drinking our brew a gentleman with hair down to his waist was twirling around playing the flute. The expression on Mr. Hoffman’s face was one of amused resignation. True story!

Just stumbled across this in a google search. Thanks.

My wife and I spent a long afternoon with Albert Hofmann (and Anita) in his home, back in 2003. He told us we were the first folks, outside his family and old friends, invited to his home in over 20 years. He was 97 then, a gracious host and great storyteller – the one of his friendship with Huxley was especially enjoyable, poignant. He invited us to his 100th birthday party/LSD Symposium in Basel, and we went. It was a great event.

Others I’ve known had far more history with Albert Hofmann. But that one afternoon at his Swiss home, where he got me tipsy on his homemade plum schnapps (and I’m a teetotaler – but it was Albert Hofmann…), and discussed the problems, and wonders, associated with being the father of LSD, is a priceless memory for me and my wife.

Thanks again for the informative article.
