On his deathbed, suffering from laryngeal cancer and unable to speak, Huxley made a written request to his wife Laura for "LSD, 100 µg, intramuscular". According to her account of his death in 'This Timeless Moment', she obliged with an injection at 11:45 am and a second dose a few hours later. Huxley died at 5:20 pm.
