Happy Bicycle Day to all! Today we celebrate the first intentional LSD trip ever taken, when the Good Doctor Hofmann drop 250 mcg and revealed the mystery of that molecule to the world. In honor of his trip, I wrote this track:

Enjoy on *your* trip!

Today is #BicycleDay, the most important holiday for the #psychedelic scene, where the world's first #LSD trip is celebrated, which its discoverer Albert Hofmann had on the 19th of April 1943 while riding his bike home after applying about 250 µg of LSD as part of a self-experiment.

To honor this day appropriately, I'll now drop a bit of acid and go on a bike ride.

Всегда удивлялся этой несуразности: где-то гремит Вторая мировая, немцев отогнали от Сталинграда, но на носу Курская дуга, в лагерях жгут евреев, пленные тысячами мрут с голоду и от непосильной работы, а проф. #Хоффман мирно трипует в самом центре Европы

That's a track I wrote a couple years ago to celebrate this most holy of psychedelic holidays. Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary of the discovery of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide to all who celebrate it. (#LSD)

[09:01] Laatste schooldag: ‘sneeuwbuien’ en aprés-skihut op Drachtster Lyceum

Waar het op een aantal scholen in Nederland afgelopen week flink misging, kende het Drachtster Lyceum een mooie LSD. Oftewel, de Laatste SchoolDag. Met volop sneeuw...

Have you explored psychedelics as a tool for self-healing or personal growth?

I’m no expert, and it’s been a few decades since I have ingested #LSD, but I never would have thought that Microdosing would help with #ADHD. Depression maybe, but I am not surprised to hear it wasn’t efficacious.

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide

Study finds that #MDMA and #LSD might have protected the survivors in the 7.10.2023 Hamas attack from severe #ptsd , and even helped some escape the attack.

Very readworthy, even though the paper's hyperfocusing on Israeli trauma while totally silent about the ongoing genocide against Palestinians appears obscene to me. Or is DJ Netanyahu about to send MDMA to Gaza prior to throwing the next rave of mass murder of civilians by bomb shellings?

Legalize THC and classic psychedelics already! These substances have potential to help people heal:

- THC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol
- LSD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD
- Psilocybin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin

Why keep these therapeutic tools hidden? Research shows promise for mental health treatment.

Screw the system! Boost if you're ready for change!

A nice tribute to the art and life of author and merry prankster, Ken Kesey. I never met him but he lived just a few minutes drive from me and was a beloved figure in the community.

I just spent the weekend catching up with my favorite podcast, The Modern Hippie Podcast, hosted by Barrett Perlman.

This podcast explores boundary-pushing ideas around the body, mind, and spirit, featuring special guests who delve into topics like spirituality, consciousness, mental health, self-development, and functional medicine.

Today in labor History January 17, 1961: Patrice Lumumba, anti-colonial fighter and former premier of the newly independent Republic of the Congo, was assassinated with the complicity of the CIA. President Eisenhower authorized an assassination in 1960, because of Lumumba’s ties with the Soviet Union. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb planned to kill him with poisoned toothpaste. Gottlieb was the main scientist behind the CIA’s MKUltra program, which did illegal human mind control experiments using drugs, like LSD, without the victim’s knowledge or consent. He was also involved in numerous assassinations.
