Don't know how many here will care or not. Here is an excerpt from a
close friend of his, Rick Doblin:
"Albert died at home at 9 AM Basel time from a myocardial infarction,
quick and relatively painless. Two caretakers were there with him at the
time. The only people who were told were people from Burg, the village
where he lived, and Peter and others were surprised the word of his
death had gotten out so quickly. It's the age of the internet...
Albert had been increasingly thinking of death these last few months. He
had stopped leaving his home, where he said he could feel the spirit of
Anita, his wife who died December 20, 2007. He didn't come to the World
Psychedelic Forum a month ago, but did entertain some visitors at his
home. We spoke on the phone the day after the Basel conference and he
was happy and fulfilled. He'd seen the renewal of LSD psychotherapy
research with his own eyes, as had Anita. I said that I looked forward
to discussing the results of the study with him in about a year and a
half and he laughed and said he'd try to help the research however he
could, either from this side or "the other side".
Now it even more falls on younger generations to transform LSD into a
legal medicine and beyond that into a tool for personal growth legally
available to all.
Rick" - http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=375280
Here's another link:

The guy was 102, an old age for anybody. It looks like he stood by his
"problem child", knowing what a good medicine it can be when used correctly.

I'd say his death was a loss, but considering his age and what he
accomplished during his time spent on this planet, I do believe his was
a life well lived.

They can't use it correctly without a label on the pharm bottle.
That's one reason its illegal. That way some will get hurt.
So just tell them how to use it correctly, and tell them the big secret.
(big secret considering how few know)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD Lysergic acid diethylamide -> c20 h25 n3 o <-
Max dose of 250ug orally or serotonin levels damage CNS. Endogenous during
normal sleep and best migraine treatment at 20-40ug.
Serotonin minus one oxygen is embedded in an rather unstable brain molecule
called LSD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin
http://www.mindmined.com/public_library/nonfiction/jessica_locke_del_greco_LSD_research.html
One guy got so overdosed, didnt know he ingested it, by some government dork.
Suffered enough serotonin overload, and killed himself some time later.
Most of the time, over 100 ug of LSD would be pointless and fruitless. Possible
exceptional experiences would likely not be repeated, existing only as first
experiences.
How bad can headaches be?

A loss to the planet indeed is another mans dream.
He won the lotto too.

It never really faded from the psychological and psychiatric fields.
There have been attempts in the USA to conduct further research on the
medicinal uses of LSD for some time. From autism to alcoholism, it has
some potential to cure lots of psychological problems.

One hundred and two years, and remembered for riding a bicycle while
stoned. That's the way I want to be remembered, one day.
Heres to you, Mr Hoffmann. All I've got today is melatonin, but that will
have to do.

I was not aware LSD had any neurotoxicity associated with it. Are you
alluding to serotonin syndrome?

"Details of the events leading up to Olson's suicide remained
confidential, primarily due to the fact that agents working under the
MK-ULTRA program were preparing to launch into the next phase of LSD
testing: the administration of LSD to unwitting American citizens in
real-life settings and situations."
This is deplorable behavior. It's one thing to take a mind-altering
chemical willingly, with knowledge of a possible outcome. To
surreptitiously dose people is another thing entirely. That's beyond
unethical. They continued along this path after a tragedy. This should
have stopped them. I'm sure any researcher with a conscience during that
time was replaced, or else it would not have continued.
> Most of the time, over 100 ug of LSD would be pointless and fruitless.
For migraines, maybe. I think a higher dosage may be needed if you
wanted to say, heal from a traumatic event, and needed to open up a part
of your psyche. Optimally this should be done in a therapeutic setting
under trained professionals. Under the current system, however, people
must resort to using it under less than ideal circumstances.
> How bad can headaches be?
Less bad if the best migraine treatments were legally available, I'm sure!

Hey, he lived a long time and missed his wife. The only downer I see is
that he was separated from her for so long. (four months can be a long
time) Hope he's with her now :)

Ah, but how long will it take to remove prohibition? How long will it
take to remove confusion? Too long, according to many people :(

Hey, I rode a bicycle while tipsy once. It was my first and only DUI. It
must have taken a day for me to recover from the scratches ;)

Don't forget endogenous DMT. Every one of us is walking around with at
least one illegal chemical in our brains, whether we like to admit it or
not. Between melatonin (circadian serotonin), DMT and pinoline, we are
guaranteed to trip almost every night :)

Woke with a radio commercial on the brain, "The most interesting man in the
world".
www.erowid.org/library/books_online/tihkal/tihkal26.shtml
Shulgin:
"A totally pure salt, when dry and when shaken in the dark, will emit small
flashes of white light."
aQ:
The most interesting man in the world glows in the dark with an LSD aura and has
a brain that produces up to 25 times more LSD than the average brain.
Shulgin:
I was at a meeting of a NIDA study section a few years ago, where some one
presented some findings with a group of subjects who were complaining of
continuing mental problems allegedly due to LSD exposure. A chart was put up
showing the outline of the brain showing the locations of the EEG foci that
were observed in one of these subjects. Along side it was a PET scan showing
the distribution of radioactive LSD in a subject. The purpose was to discuss
the similarities and differences of the coordinates of electrical activity and
radioisotope concentration. I innocently asked what positron isotope had been
used, as I did not know of any successful positron labeling of LSD. Carbon 11,
I was told. Where in the molecule was the label incorporated, I asked. In the
1-position methyl group. It was finally acknowledged that the compound that had
actually been used was 2-iodo-1-methyl-LSD, our MIL compound, which is quite a
different world. A pharmacologist might say that they are similar in action
(looking at serotonin, not psychedelic action); an alchemist might say they are
of similar structure (looking at the upper 80% of the molecule. But they are
different compounds. This is a most subtle form of deceit. It is, in fact, out
and out dishonest, but it looks good up there on the screen at a lecture.
Let me mention in passing, that there are three stereoisomers possible for
d-LSD. There are d-iso-LSD, l-LSD, and l-iso-LSD. The inversion of the
stereochemistry of the attached diethylcarboxyamido group of d-LSD gives the
diastereoisomer (d-iso-LSD), which is a frequent synthetic impurity of d-LSD
itself. The corresponding optical antipodes l-LSD and l-iso-LSD are also known
and have been tasted. All three are completely inactive: d-iso-LSD shows no
psychological changes at an oral dose of 4 milligrams; l-LSD none at up to 10
milligrams orally; and l-iso-LSD none at 500 micrograms orally. These dramatic
decreases in potency show both the stereo-selectivity of the native LSD
molecule in producing its central effects, and the LSD-free purity of these
isomers.
aQ:
The native LSD molecule is a dream awareness transmitter that allows dream
vision and dream-awareness. It carries altruistic ramifications of
responsibility in abundance but only to a point, then Serotonin overload always
with dosages of 500-1000 mics. Was it Sandoz that made the Orange Sunshine of
the sixties? It was a 1000 microgram tablet. Whichever lab it was, they knew it
was too much. This should be obvious if you read Jessica del Greco. And the DEA
put in on the street.
Government:
"No. There's no conspiracy".
Small, still, sacred voice:
You blitherin, slitherin sack o' mindlessness and heartlessness shall inherent
the earth. Just wait until you meet the new overloads I've kept away from the
planet for 104,000 years.

I forgot to say, because its an unstable molecule, poof, the dream ends.
