This quote is amusing...
Hofmann was disappointed when his discovery was removed from commercial distribution. He remained convinced that the drug had the potential to counter the psychological problems induced by “materialism, alienation from nature through industrialisation and increasing urbanisation, lack of satisfaction in professional employment in a mechanised, lifeless working world, ennui and purposelessness in wealthy, saturated society, and lack of a religious, nurturing, and meaningful philosophical foundation of life”.

Certainly and intresting drug... and an intresting life story for Hofmann.

I don't think many believe there is tremendous medicinal purposes for the drug anymore, it certainly has been tested by enough subject... though clearly it is popular for recreation.

In other words, what, to escape every day life.

Did it help you "counter the psychological problems induced by “materialism, alienation from nature through industrialisation and increasing urbanisation, lack of satisfaction in professional employment in a mechanised, lifeless working world, ennui and purposelessness in wealthy, saturated society, and lack of a religious, nurturing, and meaningful philosophical foundation of life”.

Actually LSD can offer one a rare glimpse into what really is everyday life.
