New Albert Hofmann documentary


In January 2006, 80 speakers and 2000 participants gathered for the three day International LSD Symposium held in Basel, Switzerland to celebrate Dr. Albert Hofmann’s 100th birthday, and to hear the father of LSD speak first hand about his life, his discovery and his thoughts on the psychedelic experience. It was also an occasion for leading doctors, researchers, artists and thinkers in the psychedelic field to present their work. By documenting this historic symposium, LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug, the new video produced by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), articulates the scientific, medical, artistic and spiritual issues at the core of the psychedelic debate.LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug captures the fascinating story of LSD as it is eloquently spoken by Dr. Albert Hofmann, the 100 year old sage-scientist who brought it into the world. With interviews and presentations by Rick Doblin, Alex Grey, Ralph Metzner, Carl Ruck, Goa Gil and others, this historic message from the father of LSD is a timeless relic and an immediate source of inspiration.

Purchasing the DVD now, the 50% of the proceeds will go towards furthering what Dr. Hofmann called his "heart desire": psychedelic research.
