January 2006, the Gaia Media Foundation stages an International
Symposium on the most widely known and most controversial discovery of
this outstanding scientist.

LSD - three letters that changed the world. Since 19 April 1943, the
day Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann discovered this psychoactive
substance, millions of people all over the world have experienced a
higher reality with profound and psychological insights and spiritual
renewal; created innovative social transformation, music, art, and

experiences, implications, assess the risks and benefits of this most
potent of all psychoactive substances. LSD -  a challenge in the past,
now, and in the future.
