Probably one of the most lucid 100 year olds whose speech I heard.
And one would say opposite because of the lsd but hey.. it’s only bad if your a bad person 🤷♂️
i owe my entire life to this man. may you rest in eternal peace Mr. Hofmann. gone but never ever forgotten
There is something much deeper than this man or his inventions ... not to be forgotten :)
Me as.well. i would be lost death or alive but lost. And thanks to hoffman i feel great im awake and i love the truth of life. Thanks hoffman
👍🏻❤️
60-70 years old people in my town are usually not aware of what planet are they on, and this guy at his 100th birthday has a razor-sharp mind
Dr. Hoffmann Sir, your daughter lucy saved my life. Peace
True story?
I'm interested to know how. If you don't mind sharing.
@@steveamuz5122 L.ucy in the S.ky with D.iamonds, A beatles song, LSD, Hoffmans "Child" - Mushrooms saved my life at 26, but at 39, LSD made things so much more complex and insightful, psychedelics are life enhancers, life savers, and alive just like us, the mushroom expressed to me on my first trip, "Thank you Joe for letting us trip on you" it was fucking unreal, the LSD was more like, "Ohhh shit, I am Joe! And names are meaningless! And meanings are empty, and emptiness is full and complete, etc, never thought so deeply and clearer in my experience, Hoffman, Leary, Sabina and McKenna were all right lightyears ago - Happy tripping
@@joesaintjames6221 what a beautiful response. Well said my friend. Love always ❤
this man is 100 years old, and took the drug he created well into his 90's! a well documented FACT. Notice he stands, he does not require oxygen, he speaks coherently! Faring far better than most people who never touched it, but took their antidepressants, and heart medication, and drank alcohol, and smoked cigarettes- all of which are legal. The law is not your friend!
True
You’re confusing correlation with causation but lsd is great
@@ButtSnorkler9000 he might be confusing them yeah but there’s not denying that living into his 100s makes Hofmann a great poster boy for the drug he created :)
@@ButtSnorkler9000I was not making a connection that because he partook in the substance described that in turn lead to his long life and good health, but rather that taking the drug did not impact his health negatively. It's not really that simple- or is it? Looking at the history of LSD especially in America many people made false claims about it being detrimental to a person's physical and mental health. Dr. Hoffman himself is just one example of that not being the case. Of course there were outlier incidents but overall I do think people can have positive life changing experiences that may lead to a healthier longer life.
His discovery of LSD brought peace to the rest of the world🌈
so i was coming off LSD, basking in its afterglow, when this video came on. it brought me to tears. RIP and mad props^1000.
Lol lsd will do that!
Albert Hofmann and Nikola Tesla will always be my favorite inventors!
The 2 great minds of modern time with their creations that has done wonders for human kind.
One of them.. Destroyed and criminalized by governments, classed as harmful, narcotic.
(No form of leader/leadership, good or bad it doesn't matter - would ever like to have free-thinking people living in their country, thinking outside THE BOX)
The other deserves all the riches and luxuries in the world, but ended up living and dying on the streets. Just to be stolen by some fucking jackass poser with some money, and lured himself into almost every history book.
What a fucked up world we live in, and we're gonna live in.
Thank god for Nikola Tesla, physically powering up everything around me, which mostly comes back as mood-empowering as a bonus!
And thank you Albert Hoffman for helping me realize that the human brain can keep expand and rejuvenate until the day the day I die.
Hoffman is a creator of truth.
just one of them is a god...
What a life achievement must be, not only to be the discoverer of LSD, but also to leave this world irradiating and surrounded by so much love.
I owe my life to lsd. Made me such a better person. Thank you you wonderful soul
@ichcracked _ Once you see the stuff it's hard to un-see. Wether it be through philosophy, meditation, sciences, religion, art or other means of realising the laws of this reality.
You saved us all from a fake world and blindness... Without you and some other illuminated people like you we'll be still in the dark caves of conciousness... He brought us a gift from beyond and for that we will remembered him for all eternity...
One of the giants of modern chemistry. His research in alkaloidal chemistry improved the lives of millions, through medicinal pharmaceuticals for geriatric patients, people suffering from heart disease, and has opened the hearts, minds and eyes of those to have had an LSD-25 experience. Not to mention the countless millions he made for Sandoz pharmecutical. Like a boss!
Rest in peace Dr. Hoffman. Thank you.
Rob Bielitz What you wrote is not entirely accurate. He discovered LSDs effects by accident. He didn’t intentionally create what he started out to create. Not saying he wasn’t a genius in a unique way but the real giants of modern chemistry are those who made more revolutionary discoveries.
Many discoveries are accidental. LSD was the most important drug discovery since antibiotics, and it could have done for the mind what they did for the body if research hadn't been killed off. Most importantly, Hoffman immediately recognized the value of LSD. He deserves all his accolades.
@@squamish4244 it bothers me that so many people today think timothy leary discovered lsd. He liked it, used it, talked about it but he was really just a party on kinda dude. Alot of people today have never heard of albert hoffman. Its wonderful to hear him talk. It makes me happy
Leary never took it seriously enough and helped give it a bad name.
@@StopFear wrong, read his book..a fact checked autobiography, instead of urban legends lol.
If you try lsd, you'll understand.
Those who don’t aren’t experienced and are likey evil
a year before his death i was visiting a friend when he recieved a letter from DR.A. Hoffman himself. I got to hold and read this very touching letter written on his very own stationary (a light tan with his name and title in a very subtle shade of darker tan printed in the background at an angle across the entire page).... i called everyone i knew that was close to me.. i was so excited.. no one understood... such a great mind, and beautiful soul.. you will always be loved and missed. R.I.P.
And that the same experience with me xD after accidentally ingesting lemonteck of pancyan (wowowowow!) Salute to you Dr. Albert Hoffman!
at the same time, its not for everyone.
some people simply shouldnt take lsd under any circumstances, at all.
but for those of us who can, it can be such a wonderful thing.
it is for me, and has made me a better person
He's young❤️
We should be really grateful that the discovery of this molecule fell to such a calm, curious and humble man! He didn't panic or think he had discovered something harmful when he took it by accident. Instead, it touched on something deep within himself, and he carefully stewarded it so that what came out of the experiences wouldn't be classed as 'mad', 'hysteric' or 'poisonous' (as so many people had thought of these drugs until then), but instead be seen for what it was, full of medicinal and healing value. He always kept within the intellect and logic, but he put it in service of the spiritual and the good. If people in the future are able to safely, legally and reliably enjoy it, for their benefit and those of the people around them, it will be in no small measure due to the efforts and attitude of Dr Hoffman.
This is a brilliant comment. so you're forgiven for misspelling his name hehe :)
He was a gateway to the clarification of the subconsius.RIP Mr.Hoffman
the last minute brought a tear to my eye
First time i took lsd (lsd shiva it was called), totaly changed my life For the first time i understod myself and the world around me.. Thank you all that is in the family. I owe you my life.
Hofmann at 100 sounded way sharper than most 70 year olds
i am a psychiatrist and i have done lots of bibliografical and practical research about LSD and for me its one of the greatest discoveries of mankind. Thank you Dr. Hoffman
LSD - Medicine for soul
He’s one of the greatest man that has ever walked on this earth. Without him there will never be musicians like Jimi Hendrix, or inventors like Steve Jobs. Your creation may be misunderstood by the mass population, may be misjudged by the governments and the systems, but we all know that it’s you that take us to a place where we would never have been to without you. Thank you for your contribution to the mankind, Albert Hoffman. May you rest in peace.
Dai Young aho
liquidcrystalvision also thank you for posting this video. I’m so glad that I can see this footage on RUclips!
Don't forget, hallucinogenic mushrooms and peyote were well know before LSD was discovered. So, it is entirely possible that Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and others, would have been just as far-out even without LSD. That being said, LSD certainly had an impact!
Alcoholics anonymous
"Make me known to the world, that i will not be forgotten" Words of wisdom.
At 2:20 ''yeaah'' haha
hahahaha
Angels come to this planet in different shapes. One of them was Albert Hofmann.
Thank you Hoffmann, we are forever grateful to you.
Pause the clip at 6.11
He is looking at you my friend.
Looking at you.
What a legend of a man and mind.
A truly great man. His problem child had a tough start but she's turning into a stunner
thank you albert. your life has reshaped my own. R.I.P.
to all the Lucy bashers look at how utterly cognizant and articulate this man is at 100.
Thank you Dr. Hoffman. You opened my eyes and gave me the world. If it hadnt been for that accident in your lab I would have probably been lost my whole life. I think responsible use of LSD can help the world. Instead of taking all these drugs like Prozac and all these antidepressants I chose to take LSD and since then this is all I have ever needed. Thank You again DR. Hoffman. You will be missed!!!!!!!!
His speach is much better than I thaught it could ever be. Thanks my friend, for inviting LSD. I used it always with caution and respect. Not for easy joy, I took it with all seriousness and only to expand my field of thinking and to get answers to my fundamental questions and also questions I would never ask, if I havent met LSD.
Now I dont do LSD. But my mind was altered with it for ever. Its only my responsibility and I for myself can say, that I wouldnt change anything regarding this case:)
merci Mr Hofmann...
They need to have this stuff available fast globally .
This man had contributed a great leap in the evolution of the Human consciousness more than he would had probably ever believed. In a way, it also contributed to ultimate peace between all people.
I just cried, because of this wonderful movie.
Basel, My city, My life
Gonna take some LSD today, In honor of Mr. Hoffman. Happy 113th birthday
Tryptamine Odyssey ~ wow, time flies ...
Pure love and admiration for this man.
The world would be a much better place if everyone experienced the results of his work.
An outstanding being, thank you my good friend!
God bless you Dr Albert Hoffman
tnx for this video!!!
This is the most important person ever.
100 years old and still cleaver , and sure stoned many times in his live with LSD.
Wholesome and important
Beautiful... this guy is amazing.
What a man! Infact, he transcends this title for the countless souls he touched in his time on this planet. A true legend indeed.
Thank You Sir;
For All you have Done in Your Lifetime!!
Thank You for All You Will Help For All Future Generations!!
GodSpeed Sir!!
Thank you, Doctor.
Hoffman you discovered the most wonderful mind expading substance ever. id like to take this opportunity to thank timothy leary for his great insight as well, huxley and all the other psyhedelic wizards. Lord hoffman may you rest in peace. lsd will never be forgotten! may the psyhedelic forum spread the news! join in their quest as messiahs of the substance that can sure the soul of the angry, hating and blind if used resposnibly. dont run from reality. embrace it. peace and love
thank you for opening up a new realm for your fellow homosepians
Thank you very much Mr. Albert Hoffman!!!
Thankyou liquidcrystalvision for this and thankyou Dear Albert RIP
How could someone not like this old man? Lsd will be the key to fixing mental illness.
Even if there's only 11 dislikes
Albert Hofmann ist neben Werner Heisenberg-Physik und pharmakochemie- einer meiner Höchsthochverehrten.Ich kann gar nicht ausdrücken, wie sehr ich diesen Herrn verehre
ich stamme zufällig aus dem selben Viertel, da einen Spaziergang zu machen ist für mich das Rencontre mit meinem Idol .
Incredible. I love this guy.
Splendid !
Hoffman man, i love u dude. thanks alot
In this video, you see one of the most important human beings of the last century. I am convinced that silicon valley and therefore the entire information age is based on LSD. What do you think sparked all the creativity in that specific location? Because they had really good coffee? Think about where the whole liberal drug counter culture started, it was right in that area. Giving a powerful tool (the computer) and therefore power to the individual, away from a centralized intelligence, is everything that LSD is teaching us. It itself is a tool for the mind on the path to find truth.
hoax1234 cool comment !
I dont know if thats true and i ave no research on that topic, but that comment looks like opinion state as fact. If i am right dont do it again if not then good for you.
@@Har2h hey R2R. I'd recommend reading Michael Pollan's How to change your mind. It will explain that comment, which is pretty accurate...
@@djangoworldwide7925 oh, thanks. i`ll check it out atleast as a audiobook.
@@Har2h Django beat me to it, it has quite a lot of detail about how prevalent it was amongst thougth leaders of silicon valley at the time. Steve Jobs said it was the most formative event of his life, taking LSD.
Thanks Albert Hofmann
I am sooo glad someone sent him to school for chemistry!!!!!!!
it amazes me how someone so old could have looked so healthly his spirit never aged and his body held on to it for as long as it posible could
God first. Thank you Mr. H.
Dr. Hofmann the legend. Thank you sir
it's ...........
i don't know why but i get emotional of this video!!
i wish i could have seen him speaking for real.
mr. hoffman, (up in heaven)thank you for everything.
Only reason I'm here. This guy
Hoffman inspires me to live up to 100 years age
He was wonderful ...He found one of the strange substance on earth and i believe still many around but not discovered yet
This is the Golden age governor dear friends!
Vote for Albert Hofmann !!!
really smart man!!!! stay in peace!!
What a beautiful man
Sounds good and looks good for 100 years of living life, respect, Rest In Peace, Thank you very much for sharing
I am overcome with strong emotion! It boggles the mind how many HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS people that owe this old gentelman their deepest gratitude. This world is a BETTER PLACE because of heros like Dr.Hoffman. This is proof, one person can make a difference.
2:21 thank you for the lsd : Albert hoffman
10 people think lsd is 👎
I have one thing to say to those people: my life is worth it. My life loves lsd it has saved me from depression of living in my vehicle losing all kinds of jobs all kind of relationships and friends who seemed to need me far away. Lsd saved me. And my life is worth it. I am worth it thank you lsd thank you albert hoffman
it amazes me how someone so old could look so healthy and stronge his spirit has seen the cycles of aging life reborn many times as his ora shines a bright symbol of royalty a crown of gold that helped him stay young in his old age holding on to his body for as long as he could 102 years in body but one split second in in this life time.
A true hero & liberator..
“ make me known in the world so that I won’t be forgotten “
Perhaps try lsd and you will see there is no reason to be remembered.. Become nobody and you will understand
43 years since my second bicycle trip, carried a lot of wood and a lot of water since, nice to know that the young still celebrate 4:19 and a fair few are getting their plus fours... :-)
He lived until 102. He said microdosed alot. Assuming it is not a toxic chemical, which it's not, simply the fact that he used it for mental health benefits could have had alot to do with his old age. Thank you Albert :)
+Elijah Lee When Albert H. was asked that question at the seminar, he replied that it might have been because the raw egg he ate every morning with his morning muesli. He also said that there was no way to find out for sure if it was related to his LSD usage. If he had a twin brother, he said, who lived with identical conditions and if he had not taken LSD, then perhaps it would have been easier to come to such conclusion. He was a scientist with a scientist mind :) not assuming anything. I have observed people who take LSD and I found out that the intentions with which they consume the substances has a lot to do with their experience of it.
@@liquidcrystalvision the 1st time i took lsd was 1970 at a rock concert. I took it for fun, kicks but it turned out to be a different experience. It was a very intense spiritual trip. Ive much respect for it. Im so grateful for psychedelics
i love this guy
this man is a legend
Rest in Power, Mr. Hofmann .
it seems really sad that he died. Im just now learning a bout him too, ive heard he had a great life.
One day, lsd will be hailed upon.
He must have had very good genes to look so young. Maybe being so analytical kept his metabolism alive. One of the most brilliant minds of all time for sure, and he must have been assured that he had lived his life to the fullest in every way. RIP
MY FAVOURITE SUPER HERO!!!!
Doppelte Hofmänner 😱 Party on 👍👍👍
@xjkgx
it amazes me how someone so old could have looked so healthly his spirit never aged and his body held on to it for as long as it posible could
this video tripps the shit out of me
You could also look into a website called Silk Road which is an online drug-distribution network.
He looks outstanding at 100 years old absolutely.
it was no mistake thank you sir. Merlin the mag. was from Basil.!
Christmas Eve 2018
I Thank You Sir!!!
Personally I think Dr. Shulgin summed up best- LSD MAY JUST MAY BE THE BALANCE ON THE SCALES WITH THE NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE WE HAVE CREATED.
MAY GOD ALMIGHTY CHERISH YOU & HOLD YOU CLOSE SIR!!
At 315 mics I can Only Imagine The Party You're in Attendance of Tonight.
I Thank God
And You Uncle Albert.
In That Order.
I Firmly Believe in My Heart of Hearts In My Soul
That I AM SPECIAL AND LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY!!
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BECOME MORE "AWARE" AND THROUGH THE SACRAMENTS I HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BE 1 MORE STEP CLOSER TO ENLIGHTENMENT!!
The BLESSED OWNER AND CREATOR ALLOWED LOWLY ME To See All The Stars in The Heavens DANCE!!!
I Agree with the ALTRUISTIC GENIUS A.T. SASHA SHULGIN- ONE SHOULD EMBARK ON EACH & EVERY JOURNEY WITH AN EMPTY STOMACH AND AN OPEN MIND!!
THIS AND BEING GENUINELY PURE OF HEART
WILL ALLOW THE JOURNEY TO PROCEED ON THE RIGHT PATH WITH AN UNIMAGINABLE REWARD OF LOVE & LIGHT & IF WORTHY
TO LIVE IN THE WONDROUS LOVE AND LIGHT AND BECOME AWARE AND PROCEED ON........
I HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO EXPERIENCE INDESCRIBABLE BEAUTY AND BATHED IN THE GLORIOUS LOVE & LIGHT
THANK YOU !!!
NOT ONLY DO I BELIEVE
I KNOW IN MY SOUL.
1 LOVE
Dr Hoffman you will be missed, your "problem child" was not a "problem" at all...it changed the world, if it hadnt been for LSD the world would be very different! this is why I study the noble science of Chemistry and enjoy it very much, to know that a small lab accident changed the world like that...makes me want to have a lab accident too! ;-)
Albert Hofmann RIP. You are the man.
A true Legend
Absolute legend.
discoverd the Path way into our own minds and human souls. the man believed in his work, so we may understand someday.
I can only hope to leave behind a legacy half as great as Hoffman did. And I swear he doesn't look a day over 70!
