BICYCLE DAY -- APRIL 19TH 2011
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=183653738345757
68th Anniversary!!
Since 1985, some people have observed Bicycle Day on April 19th. This is the anniversary of the day that Albert Hofmann intentionally took LSD in 1943. On the 16th Hofmann accidentally absorbed a bit of LSD, but the 19th was the first intentional experience, when he took what he then considered a minimum effective dose, 250 mics. In "LSD, My Problem Child", he records that day:
"By now it was already clear to me that L S D had been the cause of the remarkable experience of the previous Friday, for the a l t e r ed p e r c e p t i o n s were of the same type as before, only much more i n t e n s e. I had to struggle to speak intelligibly. I asked my laboratory assistant, who was informed of the self-experiment., to escort me home. We went by bicycle, no automobile being available because of wartime restriction on their use. On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision w a v e r e d a n d w a s d i s t o r t e d a s i f s e e n i n a c u r v e d m i r r o r. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me we had traveled very rapidly. "
In this hour of renaissance and hope about psychedelics, you can light a candle of light and reason.
To commemorate the bicycle ride that changed the world forever, let's celebrate Bicycle Day with bicycle trips, sending cards with bicycle pictures on them to friends, joyful picnics, and o t h e r f E s t i V e A c T i v i T I E s.
Remember Bicycle Day and keep it Holy
