> in his home [in 1963] the British author, psychedelic pioneer and visionary thinker Aldous Huxley lost his three-year battle with cancer. Per his written request, Huxley’s second wife, Laura, injected him with a dose of liquid LSD as the end drew near.
> She later described his passing as “the most serene, the most beautiful death."
A psychedelic trip while passing sounds like a beautiful death experience.
- monkeynotes 5y agoDepending on your state of mind this could go either way. I think you'd need to have totally accepted death and not fear it in order to expire at peace, with or without LSD. But yeah, I imagine it would have been quite a profound final experience before going into the void.
