Were LSD & Marijuana the Secret to Steve Jobs’ Billions?

It was after Steve Jobs lost his battle to cancer that the biography simply called Steve Jobs was released. The book was written after hours and hours of interviews with the legendary co-founder, former chairman, and former chief executive officer of Apple. Some people were shocked to learn some intimate details about the genius’s personal life, but especially about his recreational drug use.

It was already shocking that Jobs had risen to such heights without a college degree (He quit school after six months and hoped everything “would be fine.”), but most people didn’t know about him dabbling in Eastern philosophy, veganism, not showering and using lots of mind-altering substances.

Apparently, LSD was Steve Jobs’ drug of choice. In fact, he wanted little to do with anyone who didn’t experiment with the drug. During Apple’s early years, Jobs sought out rebellious applicants, not the usual technology geeks who actually answered the postings for jobs.

When one uptight candidate came in for an interview, Jobs asked him, “Are you a virgin?” and “How many times have you taken LSD?”
