How a Lab Accident Changed Perception Forever 🧪

On April 16, 1943, a simple lab accident led Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman to unlock entirely new realms of human perception. While researching medicinal compounds, he accidentally absorbed LSD25 and experienced intense dizziness along with vivid kaleidoscopic visions. This unexpected discovery prompted him to intentionally ingest the substance three days later, resulting in the world's first intentional LSD trip during a memorable bicycle ride home.

This pivotal moment not only opened doors to psychedelic research but also significantly influenced the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Join us as we explore how this accidental breakthrough reshaped our understanding of consciousness and transformed science and society forever.
