Hofmann was the chemist working at Sandoz who discovered LSD and its hallucinogenic effects in 1938 and 1943, respectively.[5][6] He describes his first psychedelic experiences with LSD in the book, including his high-dose experience on Bicycle Day or April 19th, 1943 and his low-dose experience a few days earlier on April 16th, 1943.[7][8] Hofmann expressed hope in the book that LSD could someday be used under more suitable conditions and change from being his "problem child" to his "wonder child".[2]
