So we did.

Specifically, we asked Woz if Steve Jobs ever offered him LSD. And if so, did Woz try it?

The answer was pretty brilliant:

I have never used an illicit drug. I never spoke to Steve Jobs about drugs or heard from him about drugs even a single time. He never brought it up around me. I had many friends in my high school in Cupertino who used LSD (1966-1968) and many bright ones too but (a) I had many ways to have fun and (b) if it would expand my mind, I felt I had a great mind and wanted to be judged as myself, not myself plus an aid. I did accept drug use by others and was accepted among them and never was judgmental. I don't have any strong resistance to using LSD someday but after a certain point in your life, what's the point? Don't be judgmental. Don't call yourself right and others, who do different things, wrong. Same for computer and smart phone platforms.
