Fact #57265
When:
Short story:
Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann takes LSD intentionally for the first time. Three days earlier, he had accidentally ingested a small amount and experienced strange frightening delusions and hallucinations. On this day, now known as Bicycle Day, he deliberately takes another dose before cycling home from his lab. The drug will become powerfully associated with the psychedelic music of the 1960s.
