November 16, 1938

So, basically 60 years back on this day, good ol' Al Hoffman succeeds in synthesizing Lysergic acid diethylamide, the 25th lysergic acid derivative initially as a probable analeptic, a circulatory and respiratory stimulant.

However 60 rainbow filled years later, after a lot of ( and we are talking about a lot) of testing, by esteemed philosophers like Dr jerry garcia and Mr. Kesey, we are now sure that LSD most certainly does not help as a probable analeptic, a circulatory and respiratory stimulant.

So Hoffman just sort of knew on the 16th what the stuff was sort of about. He GOT to know about the stuff on the 19th.

wait for the 19th.
