The Register reports that the inventor of LSD, Albert Hoffman, turned 100 and despise years of LSD use is still fit enough to appear at an LSD symposium in Basel.

When I worked in Basel at Sandoz, I heard stories of widespread LSD, err, “research” in the labs during the ’70s. In the end, the company struck a deal with the local authorities to stop with it and collected and destroyed all the samples. Multiple kilograms were collected, it seems. That’s quite a bit of research…

Basel is a small pharma village with just a handful of families running the show, so I’ll just assume that Hoffman is half of Hoffman-La Roche. Who said pharma companies never do good things?
