I saw a documentary inclusive of him last week. The show covered Native
Americans and anthropological field research done on Shamanism,
including the use of peyote. I remember in college, an elective course
I took, which covered the Yanomano Tribe of Southern New Guinae. An
Anthropologist by the name of Napoleon Chagnon went to live with this
virgin tribe (i.e. untouched by civilization) and film-documented their
belief system including the use of psychotropics. There is so much man
doesn't know and so much ordered systems are intent upon keeping him
from knowing...I recall a time in my teens when I attended a Peter
Frampton concert at a theater in Philly. "Seeing" musical notes of
different colors, hues, intensity and size, flying from the stage and
zipping over our heads. It would be a few years before I picked up the
guitar and started learning to play, but looking back, that experience
had an intensity effect and influenced my desire to learn, even though
the reasoning at the time was "unless you pick it up around 11-12,
you'll never learn to play". I've seen my share of guys who picked it up
to "impress", not because they truly loved music.
Here's to Dr. Hoffman, RIP.

I also took an elective Anthro course 35 years ago, and read the same
ethnography on these people. They actually came from the Amazon Basin,
not New Guinea.

I saw the same one - on the History channel. However, the documentary
was actually about Dr. Schultes, the ethnobotanist. It mentions
Hoffman but Schultes was actually the first real scientist to discover
psychotropic plants. The was actually an article in Life magazine in
the 50's about psychotropic mushrooms.

Wasn't Dr. Hoffman the guy who dosed (when no one had clue one about
efficacy vs. toxicity) then hopped on the mother of all bicycle rides?
:-). If I'm not mistaken, at the time, dosages in the nanogram or
picogram realm of *anything* were unheard of then, so what he thought
might be a slight sample turned out to be something huge, neuro
metabolically.
Now Schwerkinoff is going to tell us it wasn't a bicycle, it was a
unicycle, and furthermore, ...;-) mvm
