    Believe it or not, his invention is what's behind the extremely deep and experimental musical and artistic boom around 60-70s. It was presented as "the medication that cures", encouraged to use hence was not administered at all.

    That's my personal view though. However, looking back at what ones like Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Blue Öyster Cult, Beatles; the psychedelic music had lived its golden years.

    I absolutely avoid and hate any kind of drugs but for a man who had affected the popular culture in big deal around the world, RIP.

    You guys will have Hoffman turning in his grave - he hated what hippies did to his invention. Save the 'cool dude' comments for Timothy Leary

    But RIP anyway, for the man who took probably the most significant bicycle ride of the 20th century...
