On April 16, 1943, Albert Hoffman inadvertently inhaled LSD vapors and: “felt himself becoming dizzy while working in his Sandoz lab with a couple of new chemical compounds. He suspected he had inhaled some solvent vapors and went home to lie down in a darkened room, at which point he ‘sank into a not unpleasant, intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination'”

Below are his notes, written some days later, describing the first human experience of LSD intoxication.
