Hofmann's Potion
Albert Hofmann, the creator of LSD, has died at age 102.
If LSD makes you think only of getting high and partying, you should take a look at Connie Littlefield's wonderful documentary Hofmann's Potion, which you can stream here (and Connie doesn't mind, because she links to it herself). Update: the stream is no more.
Hofmann and the early LSD pioneers (Cary Grant was an enthusiast) saw the drug as a powerful tool for helping people with schizophrenia and for opening up new avenues to an understanding of the functioning of the mind.
I am told by those who have tasted it that he also made delicious brandy, from his own fruit trees.
