Sorry! The Goa reference was a red-herring.. When I repeated the search i discovered that it was a picture of Hoffman with a hippy PERSON called Goa, not a picture of Hoffman IN Goa with hippies..
However, I found this quote from his 100th birthday celebration:
In many ways, the conference, LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug, an International Symposium on the Occasion of the 100th Birthday of Albert Hofmann, was a scientific coming-out party for the drug Hofmann fathered.
"LSD wanted to tell me something," Hofmann told the gathering Friday. "It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation."
Bent with age but still eloquent, Hofmann said he hoped the symposium would encourage the renewed therapeutic and spiritual use of LSD in supervised settings.

The BBC recording re his birthday which my gf believed was on her computer has the introductory remarks followed by silence..
