Interesting. I just finished reading a book mentioned in the article, "What The Dormouse Said", which traces the interaction of the 60s counterculture and the formation of Silicon Valley computer culture.

Based on the book, LSD was used by a lot more of the early computer pioneers than you might imagine. Everyone knows Steve Jobs talked glowingly about his LSD experience, but there were many others as well.

The book is worth a read, it's an unusual perspective on both hippie culture and computer culture.
