DearSteve –

Over on The Huffington Post Ryan Grim has posted an unpublished letter from LSD inventor Albert Hofmann that he sent to Apple CEO Steve Jobs in 2007, asking him to support a proposed study of LSD-assisted psychotherapy.

Hello from Albert Hofmann. I understand from media accounts that you feel LSD helped you creatively in your development of Apple computers and your personal spiritual quest. I’m interested in learning more about how LSD was useful to you.

Thanks to Jon Alloway for the tip!
