“I had to leave work for home because I was suddenly hit by a sudden feeling of unease and mild dizziness,” he subsequently wrote in a memo to company bosses.
As he cycled home the strange feelings intensified, he wrote. “Everything I saw was distorted as in a warped mirror. I had the impression I was rooted to the spot. But my assistant told me we were actually going very fast.”
Upon reaching home, Hofmann sat down on a divan and began experiencing what he called “wonderful visions”.
“What I was thinking appeared in colors and in pictures,” he told Swiss television network SF DRS, in a programme marking his 100th birthday two years ago. “It lasted for a couple of hours and then it disappeared.”
Three days later, Hofmann experimented with a larger dose, but recounted that the result was a horror trip.
“The substance which I wanted to experiment with took over me. I was filled with an overwhelming fear that I would go crazy. I was transported to a different world, a different time,” Hofmann wrote.
