Albert Hofmann
Albert Hofmann was a Swiss chemist best known for his discovery of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in 1938. He famously experienced the hallucinogenic effects of LSD on April 19, 1943, during a bicycle ride home from his laboratory, an event that has since become iconic in the history of psychedelic research. Hofmann's work contributed significantly to the fields of psychiatry and psychology, and he remained an advocate for the responsible use of psychedelics throughout his life.
