There are two major products to come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don’t believe this to be a coincidence.

    This is funny, but not true.
    LSD was first synthesized by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann. Leary was just the first one to abuse it :-)

    You’re correct about Albert Hofmann to be the first to synth LSD, but 1. Leary WASN’T the first to ‘abuse’ it (Hofmann was…Bike day), 2. Post-bike-day, tons of psychiatrists and other people consumed acid prior to Leary.

    Lastly, it is well known that presently there is a lab somewhere in Berkeley as a majority of VERY good acid blotters and crystal pours out of there and has been for a while. Derp.
