<description><![CDATA[
Hacía cinco años que había abandonado sus investigaciones acerca del dietilamida de ácido lisé]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-127" src="http://ladridos.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/hoffmann.jpg" alt="" width="444" height="202" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Hacía cinco años que había abandonado sus investigaciones acerca del dietilamida de ácido lisérgico al no encontrarle ninguna utilidad aparente. Sin embargo, como siguiendo un curioso presentimiento, ahí estaba de nuevo en los laboratorios Sandoz de Basilea <span> </span>esa tarde de abril de 1943 trabajando con él. Albert Hoffmann, químico suizo, sintió una sensación extraña y se fue a casa antes de lo habitual. Una vez allí, se tumbó en el sofá y el mundo explotó. El mundo se disolvió en un kaleidoscopio de colores, formas, espirales y luz.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>El lunes siguiente Hoffmann decidió experimentar disolviendo 0.25 miligramos de LSD diluidos en 10cc de agua. ¿Era esa sustancia la que le había provocado las visiones tres días antes? Por su experiencia con otros alcaloides Hoffmann decidió que era una dosis apropiada. Bebió el vaso y no ocurrió nada.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>No ocurrió nada hasta las 5 de la tarde, hora en que el laboratorio empezó a deformarse a la vez que Hoffmann notaba una especial dificultad para hablar de forma inteligible. Le pidió a su asistente de laboratorio que le acompañase a casa y ambos emprendieron uno de los viajes en bicicleta más famosos de la historia. Un viaje alucinante.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Hoffmann peladeaba con vigor pero no notaba que avanzase. Una sensación de inmovilidad le invadía. Cuando llegó a su casa los muebles giraban y sufrían extrañas mutaciones. En medio de las alucinaciones Hoffmann fue capaz de pedirle a su asistente un vaso de leche, un signo de lucidez por su parte pues ésta sirve de antídoto para numerosos venenos. El vaso le fue servido por una bruja con una máscara de colores. Hoffmann se asustó. ¿Estaba siendo poseido por el diablo? Gritó y se estremeció en el sofa. Sintió que se moría.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>Sin embargo al rato volvieron las imágenes maravillosas. Imágenes que se abrían y se cerraban en círculos y espirales. Cada sonido provocaba colores. Su doctor no encontró nada extraño en él físicamente salvo sus pupilas extremádamente dilatadas. La sustancia abandonó su cuerpo y al día siguiente Hoffmann se sintió profundamente cambiado, fresco y con la mente clara.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>La sensación de unión con la naturaleza, de comprensión de la creación, le hizo que había encontrado el sacramento de la edad moderna: un antídoto para el hastío provocado por el consumismo, la industralización y la crisis espiritual de su épica.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>En los años sesenta, Timothy Leary, profesor de Harvard le contó a sus alumnos las maravillas del LSD. Su consumo se volvió una epidemia. Se ingería de forma impura y pronto fue culpada de accidentes, asesinatos e intentos fallidos de volar.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span>El sueño de Hoffmann se corrompió y con él la humanidad volvió a perder una oportunidad, una vez más.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em><span>Albert Hoffmann falleció el 29 de abril de 2008 a la edad de 102 años.</span></em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hofmann">Albert Hoffmann</a>, the discoverer of LSD, passed away yesterday at the age of 102 years. He was also the first to synthesize <em>psylocibin</em>, the active substance of several hallucinogen mushrooms. He experimented the effects of the drugs he invented upon himself, and defended during all his life the potentially beneficial effects of LSD assumed in a controlled way.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Reading this piece of news today, I was reminded of the following anecdote about Voltaire, which my grandfather used to tell me when I was a kid:<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ffcc00;">Voltaire, who drank copious amounts of coffee throughout his life, was once told by somebody that the beverage was a slow poison. "I fully believe it. And it must be indeed very slow," he replied, "for I have been drinking it for sixty-five years and I am not dead yet".</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Voltaire indeed died at 84, a ripe old age for his times. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I've heard </span>my grandfather recounting </span>this little story in a few occasions, while he was making coffee. However, I don't remember him especially as a coffee enthusiast. But, even in his late years, he never refrained from drinking an healthy quantity of wine during meals, although I've never seen him even slightly drunk. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">He died the day of his hundred and first anniversary. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Slow poisons, yeah.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>"This joy at having fathered LSD was tarnished when LSD was swept up in the huge wave of an inebriant mania" Albert Hofmann wrote in his book LSD: My Problem Child. He died on 29th April and was 102 years old.</p>
<p>It is a common perception that LSD was invented by mistake but Albert Hofmann denies it vehemently. He says, "Time and again I hear or read that LSD was discovered by accident. This is only partly true. LSD came into being within a systematic research program, and the "accident" did not occur until much later: when LSD was already five years old, I happened to experience its unforeseeable effects in my own body—or rather, in my own mind.</p>
<p>While researching lysergic acid derivatives, Hofmann first synthesized LSD-25 in 1938. It was set aside for five years, until April 16, 1943, when Hofmann decided to take another look at it. While re-synthesizing the LSD, he accidentally consumed a small sample and serendipitously discovered its powerful effects. Three days later, on April 19, Hofmann deliberately consumed 250 micrograms of LSD before his bicycle ride home. This was followed by a series of self-experiments conducted by Hofmann and his colleagues. This is how LSD came into being.</p>
<p>His foundation homepage www.hofmann.org reads" It saddens us to confirm that Dr. Albert Hofmann passed away at his home in Burg outside of Basel, Switzerland today, April 29 2008 at the age of 102 years. Dr. Hofmann was at his home with two of his care takers, he passed away at 9am local time. Dr Hofmann follows his late wife Anita, who passed away this past December."</p>

<p><em> Albert Hoffman descontraindo com seus fãs</em></p>
<p>Massaroca 18 trará lembranças e lágrimas aos olhos daqueles que gostavam do bom e velho sistema dos primeiros episódios: muita narração, conexões contextuais e uma ironiazinha pra dar aquela quebrada. Bem, aproveitem! Este Massaroca é para vocês! Ele fala de mil coisas de maneira super irreverente, e você aprende brincando!</p>
<p>E pra quem odeia aqueles quatro sujeitinhos metidos a besta, eles nem aparecem nesse episódio!</p>
<p>Olha, aqui entre nós, sem querer fazer fofoca, que eu odeio essas coisas, sabe? Mas então, já que você mencionou, eu nunca gostei muito deles, viu? Aposto que são todos uns macumbeiros, uns drogados e a minha vizinha, a Odetti, sabe a Odetti? Então, ela disse que outro dia viu eles roubando o toca-fitas do carro do Seu Claudionor. Um crime, meu pai! Você sabe que eu não gosto de violência, mas pra mim, tinha era que mandar matar tudo esses daí!</p>

<p>E pra quem entendeu o moral da história, O restaurante do BIU fica na esquina da Cardeal Arcoverde com a João Moura, em Pinheiros, São Paulo, e está aberto de segunda a segunda. Vá e faça seu estômago mais pleno e feliz! Tome uma Antarctica, uma caipirinha, e depois de 2 horas e uns 5 quilos de comida, você não vai querer (nem conseguir) sair de lá nunca mais!</p>
