"LSD Was Invented at the Same Time as the Atomic Bomb In Order To Balance the Universe." - Famous Quote... Who Said It? Dr. Albert Hofmann? Post Answers in the Comments Section!

LSD was invented in 1938 but its Psychedelic Properties were Discovered on April 19th, 1943. The Atomic Bomb was First Exploded on July 16th, 1945... Just Co-Incidence? 

and Here's what Dr. Hofmann Had to Say About That!

LSD: Completely Personal speech delivered to the 1996 Worlds of Consciousness Conference in Heidelberg, Germany by Dr. Albert Hofmann One often asks oneself what roles planning and chance play in the realization of the most important events in our lives. With respect to a given event, this involves the question, just how much was destiny, how much free will? This question has preoccupied me again and again in relation to one of the most significant and consequential events in my life in relation to the discovery of LSD.

(Many Paragraphs later in the speech he says)

At about the same time [as the invention of LSD] nuclear energy became technically usable and the atomic bomb was developed. In comparison to traditional energy sources and weapons, a new dimension of menace and destruction became accessible. This corresponded to the potency-enhancement realized in the field of psychopharmaka, something like 1:5000 or 1:10,000-fold, comparing mescaline to LSD.

One could make the assumption that this coincidence might not be accidental, but rather was brought on the scene by the "Spirit of the Age." From this perspective the discovery of LSD could hardly be an accident.

One might reflect on a further idea, that LSD might have been predestined by some higher power to arise precisely at the time when the predominance of materialism with all its consequences over the past 100 years was being understood. LSD as an enlightening psychopharmakon along the path to a new, spiritual age!

So... there was Dr. Hofmann Questioning the Possibility that "LSD Was Invented at the Same Time as the Atomic Bomb In Order To Balance the Universe."

but I Still Haven't Found anyone that puts it all in ONE SENTENCE... and I Do Not Think that I Wrote that Quote... 

SO... Who Said It? Post Answers in the Comments Section!

Mary Pinchot Meyer gave LSD to JFK and Then He Decided to End the Vietnam War in 1963. Defense Contractors had him Assassinated to Protect their Profits. Mary was a Girlfriend of JFK and...

She was part of a movement to give LSD to the Leaders of the World. The top scientists, business leaders, artists, poets, actors, politicians, writers, musicians and athletes were to be given LSD and then they would use what they learned while high to rebuild society. The cosmic knowledge was to be distributed from the top down in order to create a better world.

We Will Never Know If This Is True or Just a Conspiracy Theory... Mary did keep a diary and right after she was assassinated, her friend Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee took the diary to The CIA and they gave it to Mary's Sister and She BURNED IT! One of The Many "Summertime Bonfires" that Year...  https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/06/mpm-gave-lsd-to-jfk-and-then-he-decided.html

I've always wondered about the MOTIVE for JFK's Assassination... Dow Chemical and Hughes Aircraft Made a Fortune selling Supplies to the US Military during the Vietnam War... a Newly Enlightened JFK was a "Problem" - Solution? Have a Patsy "Hit" Him... The "Hit" the Patsy... 

Great Books: Project MKULTRA: 

CIA/LSD American History

"The Search for the Manchurian Candidate" 

by John Marks

MKULTRA: Was a CIA Mind Control Project in the USA during the 1950's and 1960's. They were looking for a way to use drugs as weapons of war. For example: LSD as a way to simply get the "enemy" to lay down their arms, voluntarily... like, too stoned to fight...

The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey and Robert Hunter both were employed. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead. and The "Whole Earth Catalog" was Written by Stewart Brand... His Book was Useful for Hippies that wanted to Go Live Off The Land and become Subsistence Farmers... or Marijuana Farmers... He was Also a Test Subject for MKULTRA.

50th anniversary of the Summer of Love... The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was 

radically different After the 1960's... 

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.
