Waaaait.......huh? I thought the 'bikeride' was completely innocent and that
he had been working with it and didn't know its powerful properties or its
ability to permeate membranes so well at the time. Hmm....anOTHER thing to
Google! YAY!

Thanks, Karen! My curiosity is aroused!

  I don't know if it was Eli Lilly's lab, but it was Sandoz Laboratories.
  And the famous bike ride home didn't occur until 5 years after he licked
  the lysergic acid off of his fingers, and he had synthesized it and
  *purposely* ingested it.
