At 100, The father of LySergic acid Diethylamide is still exploring

I'm reading an article on ALBERT HOFMANN, who turned 100 on January 11, 2005.
The man's favourite theme is "man's oneness with nature and the dangers of an increasing inattention to that fact". He says "Its very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature. In the big cities, there are people who have never seen living nature, all things are products of humans. The bigger the town, the less they see and understand nature"

LSD, which he calls his "problem child", could help reconnect people to the universe.

A mystical expirience he had on a forest path more than 90 years ago in the hills above Baden, switzerland left him longing for a similar glimpse of "a miraculous, powerful, unfathomable reality"

He became fascinated by the mechanisms through which plants turn sunlight into the building blocks for our own bodies.

Mr.Hofmann studied chemistry and took a job with a pharmaceutical company.

"LSD spoke to me. He came to me and said, 'You must find me. Dont give me to the pharmacologist, he wont find anything' "

He started expirementing on his discovery(or is it invention). He has taken the drug dozens of times but his hallucinogenic days are over. He says "I know LSD; I dont need to take it anymore". He calls it the "medicine for the soul" and is frustrated by the worldwide prohibition that has pushed it underground.
"It should be a controlled substance with the same status as morphine"
