Jobs said, "Doing LSD was one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." He was hardly alone among computer scientists in his appreciation of hallucinogenics and their capacity to liberate human thought from the prison of the mind. Jobs even let drop that Microsoft's Bill Gates would "be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once." Apple's mantra was"Think different." Jobs did. And he credited his use of LSD as a major reason for his success.

It didn't change me in the way that melodramatic people tend to think it does. I just liked knowing that I could find everything in the world to be fucking awesome, and that was pretty much all it did to change me. For a solid 9-10 hours I couldn't help but be amazed by anything and everything. It's fucking incredible.
A few pieces of advice...
Don't do it with more than two or three people, and those people should be doing it too. Don't go outside. Do that on your third or fourth dose, if you still decide to do it. First time is a no-no, personally. Do it on a day where there is a low likelihood of you getting earth-shattering bad news. Don't do it after 6pm.
Obviously the don't drive or do anything you need to be responsible for applies to. Of the 15 or 20 times that I've dosed I've loved it almost every time, and I'd say most of the times that I didn't really like it were when I broke one or more of those things. I went outside on my second dose and lost my friend, who it took like 4 hours to find.

I know it's a cliche, but don't really let anyone ever tell you what acid is like. Because it'll be different to you.
My friends and I would talk about this all the time, and to me it's not really about what I see, it's about how I feel when I see things. I'd see just perfectly normal things, but for some reason, they'd make me happy as shit. Like, for example, in my friend's place he had this huge map of Yosemite, and I no joke would just grab a beer and look at that map for 3 hours. Nothing other than a perfectly normal map, and sure, it would wiggle and stuff and every now and then I'd see words forming in the lines in the map, but I'd feel like that map was the most hilarious thing in the world for all 3 hours I was staring intently at it.
Then Apple came out with those universe themed backgrounds for Mac OS X and it was over, I'd look at that shit all day.

That's a little wild, but I believe it. My friend was 100% convinced for a while that he couldn't use his computer because if he typed things then he wouldn't ever be able to delete them and they would ALWAYS be on the screen. When we showed him the backspace key, that was the most amazed I've ever seen another person.
