The Nobel Prize-Winning, LSD Dropping, Yet Problematic Scientist Who Invented PCR
LSD led to the invention of a technology that has slowed the spread of Covid and even earned a Nobel Prize – the PCR test.
Chemist Kary Mullis experimented with lots of synthetic psychedelics, which is no surprise considering he was friends with Albert Hofmann, the creator of LSD.
He believes psychedelics made him think more creatively and gave him visions of sitting on DNA molecules. When asked if he would have invented PCR technology without LSD, he responded, “I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.”
So this pandemic would likely be a lot longer if it weren’t for LSD!
