( Albert Hoffman: Chemist Who Invented LSD - google images )
On April 19th, 1943 the forefather of LSD Albert Hoffman decided to intentionally dose himself with 250mcg of a substance he'd created only 5 years prior working for Sandoz.
Anyone who has done research into LSD would tell you the threshold dose is less than 1/10th of that or roughly 20mcg (micrograms) meaning Hoffman would have been "high as shit".
It's called bicycle day because after taking the LSD he asked his co-worker to escort him home and they rode bicycles instead of driving automobiles as it was WWII and gas restrictions were in place.
When he finally got home he swore his next door neighbour was a witch, that he may have gone insane and that the LSD e'd eaten may have poisoned him. He called the doctor and had them come check him out. Ended up besides some extremely dilated pupils to be completely healthy and normal. He even managed to write in his journal about the experience:
"... Little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux ..." -Albert Hoffman
Regardless of if you've dabbled with LSD you have to respect the substance. It's one of the physically safest psychedelics know to man and also one of the most beautiful experiences I ever had personally in my life. Not to say I recommend drug use.. But everyone should LSD atleast once in their life time in my opinion to say they have done it & see what it actually is.
