Damn. That's too bad.
What a great mind and a wonderful man.
The world at large will never understand how many tormented minds this man has healed.

I am forever in his debt.

Thanx for the headsup, Ed.

Hey Ed! How's it going? Hate to sound stoopid, but who is this? Just want to pass the info on and haven't heard or seen anything on the news.

I have a Dead CD that was in your old boombox, which Collin ended up with and he returned to me. Should I mail or will you be up here at some point and would you like to meet to get it?

Take care,

Lori

Hi captainkona, hi Lori!

Dr Albert Hoffman is the man who discovered (invented?) LSD-25, or acid to anyone who's ever dropped it intentionally.

Acid, if used the way the good doctor envisioned, could have and in fact DID do great things for some seriously whacked minds. Like the study done in a state prison back before pathetic bitchy little politicians hell-bent on stopping those dirty smelly hippies from actually enjoying their lives outlawed it. In a study (sorry - no link handy) a dramatic drop in recidivism rate among violent criminals was observed among those who were administered acid in the controlled method Dr Hoffman initially thought about as useful.

Lori my dear don't worry about the Dead CD. Keep it or give it away or whatever works for you. I've got more I'm sure. Plus in my simple (yet simple) mind the world is a better place when we give away that which we find some value in.
