Bill Gates discussed his teenage experimentation with drugs like LSD and cannabis alongside Steve Jobs. He eventually stopped using marijuana due to its adverse effects on his mind. Gates humorously recalled Jobs's teasing about taking acid for creative design. Intrigued by potential therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, Gates referenced Michael Pollan's book on the subject.
