    • You have credited SASHA MARTYNCHUK with a photograph that I took of Albert Hofmann at the 50th Anniversary of LSD Conference, sponsored by Sandoz at Lugano, Switzerland, in November of 1993. Please refer to the wikipedia biography of Dr. Hofmann, and follow the link to this photograph that I took. I will be happy to email you the scanned image. I will also contact SASHA MARTYNCHUK,

    • You are absolutely correct. I inadvertently swapped credits for the two images used with this story. I have rectified that mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.

    • On death, Hofmann said, I go back to where I came from, to where I was before I was born, thats all.
    On April 19th, 1943, Hofmann created the most powerful psychotropic substance: LSD, and experienced the first LSD trip. He was a chemist who valued a drug as a way to understand peoples oneness with nature. For the complete story on Bicycle Day, be sure to watch this amazing documentary Hofmanns Potion
