What did LSD do for you?

>>. In a few interviews, Jobs hinted at his early experience with the psychedelic drug LSD. Of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Jobs said: "I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger

I sort of doubt he ever recommended it for his kids.

There is no doubt acid has influenced many creative people enormously (anyone who ever used acid knows it was the inspiration for Lucy In the Sky, no matter what they claimed). Still, it doesn't make it healthy or sensible. There are many behaviors that inspire creativity or productivity that are not particularly good ideas for most people (e.g., working 18 hour days).

Gates did do LSD at least once. Said as much in a Playboy interview in 1994.
