Albert Hoffman, the man who notoriously created LSD, has died at the age of 102 in his Switzerland home.

Hofmann died of a heart attack at his home in Basel, Switzerland, according to Rick Doblin, president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, in a statement posted on the association’s Web site.

Hofmann’s hallucinogen inspired — and arguably corrupted — millions in the 1960′s hippie generation. For decades after LSD was banned in the late 1960s, Hofmann defended his invention.

102?  Perhaps he should have marketed LSD as an anti-aging drug instead. He claims to have invented LSD as a medicine.

“I produced the substance as a medicine. … It’s not my fault if people abused it,” he said.

And the guy who invented the Big Mac is still saying he created it for its nutritional value.
