Albert Hofmann: It is very important that one is *prepared* for the use of psychedelics. It is not just fun; it is a very serious experiment.

Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD, became widely known in the '60s, with the counterculture using it to expand their consciousness. It turns out that LSD had been around for some time, having gotten synthesized by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in 1943. Connie Littlefield's documentary "Hofmann's Potion" looks at the substance's history, as well as Timothy Leary's championing of it in the '60s. It features an interview with Hofmann (who died a few years after the documentary's release), as well as Ram Dass, another champion of it.
Basically, the documentary should serve as a rebuttal to the people who still label LSD a dangerous substance that turns people into maniacs. In reality, LSD has helped people see the world in ways that they never imagined they could.
So Albert Hofmann's wife was named Anita. That was also the name of Abbie Hoffman's wife.
