Hoffman was never arrested, I think you are thinking of Owsley. Hoffman was never a US citizen and I don't recall him ever getting into trouble.

As for the Analog Act, the UK's version is presumably watertight (it effectively bans smelling flowers, but not poppers because gay MPs objected to that being banned), but has not been tested AFAIK.

I think you're right, apologies. I always get the OG psychedelic guys mixed up in my head.

Story is still mixed up ..

Apparently Hoffman also did invented ALD-25, but the failed defense strategy was from Tim Scully, who operated a lab and distributed orange sunshine for california ..
