“Phil somehow always looked cooler to me. The sweatbands on his wrist alone put him in a whole different league. Despite his superior dressing style, though, Phil never quite looked the part of the rock musician. He had to me the appearance of an accountant who had serendipitously stumbled upon a freezer full of acid and a bass guitar. And never looked back.”

When Steve Jobs was young, the drug of choice was acid and Jobs told his biographer that dropping acid as a young man was one of the best things he ever did because when he took it with his girlfriend, the wheat field started playing Bach. Which is pretty unbelievable – a computer nerd had a girlfriend?
Now, maybe there’s not a connection between LSD and genius, but it’s something no great American ever said about a Kit-Kat bar. If it weren’t for acid, you might not have an iPod and you definitely wouldn’t have some of the best music in your iPod. Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA while on acid. The Beatles made “Sergeant Pepper” while on acid. I made “D.C. Cab” while on acid, and the list goes on and on.
And it’s not just anecdotal. In a study from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine last month, scientists found that a single dose of psilocybin, which is the drug in mushrooms, created a quote, “long-term positive personality change in most patients.” People improved in the areas of sensitivity, imagination, and broad-minded tolerance of others. In pharmaceutical speak, psilocybin is known as an asshole inhibitor. And couldn’t we use a little more of that? Have you seen a Republican debate lately? If ever there was a group who could stand to take a sensitivity pill and employ broad-minded tolerance of others, it’s these people. This nation faces enormous challenges and the biggest idea we’ve heard from them so far is let’s build a fence that electrocutes Mexicans.
Steve Jobs literally learned to think different. And if he can get that insight from LSD or mushrooms or, for that matter, from licking a toad, then bring me Kermit the Frog and I’ll stick my tongue right down his throat.
