The Trip's Over

Albert Hofmann, discoverer of LSD, has passed away at the grand age of 102. AP notes his early experience with the drug he would later recognize as his "problem child:"

"What I was thinking appeared in colors and in pictures," he told a Swiss television network for a program marking his 100th birthday two years ago. "It lasted for a couple of hours and then it disappeared."

Sort of like attending a Barack Obama rally.
