Steve Jobs Praises Taking LSD

In the cascade of news coverage about Apple founder Steve Jobs following his death on Oct. 5, it was reported that he had taken LSD, the hallucinogenic drug popularized in the 1960s. The Apple innovator, who was 56 at the time of his death from pancreatic cancer, said taking the drug was “one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life.” In another interview, Jobs said Microsoft would have been a better company had founder Bill Gates “dropped acid.”

A highlighted news article discusses Steve Jobs taking LSD and calling it one of the most important things he had done, while joking that Microsoft would have been better if Bill Gates had also taken acid. The meme is used as an absurd reaction to someone praising psychedelic drugs or suggesting that a rival would improve after trying them.
