Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Albert Hofmann, 102, a Swiss chemist and accidental father of LSD who came to view the much-vilified and abused hallucinogen he discovered in 1938 as his "problem child," died April 29 at his home in Burg, a village near Basel, Switzerland, after a heart attack.

Discoverer of LSD Takes Final Trip


"What a long strange trip it's been...."

"In Dr. Hofmann's opinion, outlawing LSD made its use even more attractive to young people and diminished any safeguards."


That pretty much sums up the reason why the so-called "War on drugs" has been an abject failure.

Yeah... because we all know the safeguards work. Kids don't abuse prescription drugs. /sarcasm

The War on Drugs has been a boon to Law Enforcement Agencies all over America. Think of all the money they receive to fight this "War" not to mention all of the bullshit seizures of property taken place do to these Drug Laws. Otherwise it's BULLSHIT.

No I did not. Thanks for your enlighened opinion though, Larry.

Never heard us use the term "war on murder, war on robbery, war on larceny, war on extortion, or war on kidnapping."

It gets mor humorous reading you posts, they get more and more far fetched as time goes on.

To bad war on lying republicanrightneoliberals wasn't a program.

No one every heard of the war one drugs until the first time it was used, either.

Your point?

I'm glad to bring some humour into your otherwise seemingly dull life.

Sorry but the term war on drugs was an actual program that does nothing but waste our tax dollars.......Go you moral blind eye repubrightspenders go!

I am just trying to figure out why you would post stuff that pushes people away from actually takin you post seriously. Nothing of substance, all rhetorical made up crap.

Goatman, you are simply lost. You must have no grasp on history, particularly that of probibition, the war on drugs, street gangs, etc..

Another shining example of the failures of public schools..

I like fishing and it is the bait I get people like you to take . . .


. . .hook, line, and sinker.

Yep, you hooked me, I believe that.....NOT!

yet like a fish you had to ask, "What's going on here?" as you were being reeled in.

So Goatman is just a dillweed huh?? Why am I NOT surprised.

???

Yeah, larry, I'm just dillweed.

I'm sure that has to mean something in Kansas.

Why am I NOT surprised.

You incapability of exercising higher brain functions perhaps? Just a guess.

Perhaps I gave You the benefit of the doubt that You was actually worth a shit Goatman. I promise it WON'T happen again.

Larry Mohr

You was

Second person singular past indicative of 'to be' -- you were -- is the verb tense you are seeking here, Larry.

I could care less how it's supposed to be Goatman. You obviously got the message.

Larry Mohr

Clearly so.

Second person singular past indicative of 'to be' -- you were -- is the verb tense you are seeking here, Larry.

This was IMMEDIATELY following:

You incapability of exercising higher brain functions perhaps?

Second person singular present contraction, indicative of 'to be'.

As in: "You're being a boob, Goat."

God Bless his heart...Albert was a true pioneer of travel ....esp. thru the window panes into the purple haze of the strawberry fields. I had some friends that never came back. I had some friends that never shoulda left in the first place.

And I'm not Bostonian, so I can't even blame it on a dropped "are". *grin*

Clearly some of us missed the retort a little too much the past 24 hours.

(I did, too)

I have a strange desire to take more LSD and read less Retort right now...there is a disturbance in the "force"...for a while I was worried no one was feeling the Earthquakes but me did it have anything to do do with Albert? who knows...butterflies!

though I don't know if I could handle LSD without a good spirit guide right now...I might need someone named "Little Bear" to help as it is wicked nasty mixed up in my brain right now...

I hope your Spirit has found its path Albert...

We have five senses, plus LSD, which transcends ordinary self conscienceness, demolishing lies and triviality.

Read "The Island" - Aldous Huxley

The discovery was nearly accidental. It's not like he was looking to create a bad trip for anyone. Interesting bio.

Doors of Perception - Aldous Huxley

It's a fascinating story and a fascinating subject.

I still think it's an experiment worth making, in the right circumstances.
