Madzulo a Epulo 19, 1943, wasayansi waku Swiss Albert Hofmann wataya asidi nakwera njinga yake kunyumba. Hofmann, yemwe amagwira ntchito ku dipatimenti yazamankhwala ku Sandoz Laboratories ku Basel, adapanga koyamba. LSD mu 1938 pamene akuyesera kuti apange stimulant kuchiza matenda kupuma ndi circulation.

Sanadziwe kuti gululi linali ndi zotsatira za psychedelic, ndipo silinapereke zotsatira zowoneka poyesedwa pa nyama zowonongeka, choncho anaziyika pambali.

Patapita zaka zisanu, Hofmann anaganiza zokayenderanso chilengedwe chake. Pa Epulo 16, 1943, adapanga gulu lina la LSD. Panthawiyi, mwangozi adamwa pang'ono pang'ono pakhungu lake, ndipo anamira mu "mkhalidwe wosasangalatsa woledzera, wodziwika ndi malingaliro olimbikitsidwa kwambiri."

Anaganiza zodziyesa yekha ndi mlingo wadala kuti atsimikizire zotsatira za mankhwalawa, ndipo pa 4:20 pm pa April 19th, adamwa ma micrograms 250 a mankhwala.

Posakhalitsa anazindikira kuti ulendowo ukhala waukulu, ndipo anapempha wothandizira wake kuti amuthandize kupita kunyumba. Zoletsa panthawi yankhondo zidaletsa magalimoto m'misewu ya Basel, chifukwa chake adayenera kukwera njinga - ndichifukwa chake Epulo 19 tsopano akudziwika padziko lonse lapansi kuti. Tsiku la Njinga.

Ndi ulendo woyipa wa trippy uja, Hofmann adakhala asayansi-godfather wa psychedelics, liwu lopangidwa ndi katswiri wa zamaganizo Humphry Osmond lozikidwa pa mawu Achigiriki otanthauza “kuvumbula maganizo”.

Mtolankhani John Horgan adalembera Scientific American zimene Hofmann ankakhulupirira zikagwiritsidwa ntchito moyenera, psychedelics akhoza kusonkhezera “mphamvu yobadwa nayo ya masomphenya” imene tonsefe tiri nayo monga ana, ndi kutaya pamene tikukula.

Hofmann anali ndi ubale wovuta ndi gawo lomwe adathandizira kupanga, kutcha LSD "mwana wamavuto" mu buku iye analemba za zomwe adathandizira ku chemistry ya psychedelic.

Anaphunziranso bowa wamatsenga ndipo anali woyamba kudzipatula, kupanga, ndi kutchula mankhwala a psychedelic psilocybin ndi psilocin. Iye adatero Horgan za ulendo wa psilocybin womwe adayenda womwe adakafika ku tauni ya mizimu mkati mwa dziko lapansi.

"Palibe amene analipo," adatero Hofmann. Ndinali kusungulumwa kotheratu, kusungulumwa kotheratu. Kumva koopsa kwambiri! Pamene anabwerera m’ndege imeneyi n’kudzipezanso ali ndi anzake, Hofmann anasangalala kwambiri. Anauza Horgan, m'mawu ake owopsa a ku Switzerland, "Ndinamva kuti ndabadwanso! Kuti muwone tsopano kachiwiri! Ndipo taonani moyo umene tili nawo kuno!”

Kufuna kumva kubadwanso ndikofunikira makamaka munthawi ya COVID-19 ndikudzipatula. The psychedelics magazini ya DoubleBlind yatulutsa nkhani posachedwa kugwiritsa ntchito quarantine ngati nthawi kwa kufufuza kwamkati ndi kudzikonzanso.

Woyambitsa nawo a DoubleBlind a Madison Margolin akuti, m'chilengedwe china chochepa cha COVID, azikhala akuwona Tsiku la Bicycle pa psychedelic seder. "Tidapangana kugwirizana Disco Dining Club kukondwerera Tsiku la Panjinga ndi Paskha.”

M'malo mwake, a Margolin akuti, DoubleBlind ikuchita nawo chikondwerero chaulere pa intaneti ndi SPORE (Society for Psychedelic Outreach, Reform, and Education) pa Epulo 19 kuti athandizire zoyeserera za coronavirus, "kukondwerera kuyanjana komanso kulumikizana kwathu ndi Earth ndi wina ndi mnzake," kuyambira pa 8:45 am PST.

Margolin ali ndi nkhawa zokhudzana ndi malonda atsopano omwe amalowa m'malo a psychedelic, akutero, pamene tikukumana ndi "psychedelic renaissance." Kwa zaka zambiri, zopanda phindu ngati Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) ndi Chacruna Institute for Plant Medicine atsindika kafukufuku ndi maphunziro kuti anthu apindule ndi psychedelics.

Koma posachedwa, mabiliyoni ambiri a Silicon Valley akhala akuwunika phindu zamakampani, mabungwe a neuro-pharmaceutical ali kukula malonda psychedelic mankhwala, ndi Wall Street Journal ndi chophimba matenda a psychedelic.

Margolin anati: “Mwachibadwa zidzachitika ndi makampani atsopano, otentha. Iye akuyembekeza, komabe, kuti monga psychedelics ali kuchotsedwa pamilandu pamlingo wamba, ndipo kafukufuku wachipatala ndi chitukuko chachipatala chikupitirirabe, kuti obwera kumene kumaloko adzalemekeza mbali zauzimu za kayendetsedwe kake.

"Makampani angapo akuyang'ana kuti akhazikitse mankhwala opangidwa kuchokera ku psychedelics, pomwe akuchotsa gawo la 'ulendo'," akutero Margolin. "Komabe, ambiri a psychonaut amakhulupirira kuti ulendowu ndiye mankhwala."

Zimenezi n’zimene Albert Hofmann anakumana nazo pa matenda a LSD. Pa tsiku lake lobadwa la 100 mu 2006, pamsonkhano wapadziko lonse ku Basel, adapereka malankhulidwe mmene anati, “Zinandipatsa chimwemwe chamkati, kutseguka m’maganizo, chiyamikiro, maso otseguka ndi kukhudzika kwa mkati mwa zozizwitsa za chilengedwe…. Ndikuganiza kuti m'chisinthiko chaumunthu sichinakhalepo chofunikira kukhala ndi chinthu ichi, LSD. Ichi ndi chida chokha chotisandutsa zomwe tikuyenera kukhala. ”
