Bill Gates's Confessions: Drugs, Code, and Life

In his new memoir, 'Source Code,' Bill Gates reveals his teenage experimentation with cannabis and LSD. He admits trying these mind-altering substances but eventually quit because they impaired his logical thinking. He also recounts a humorous exchange with Steve Jobs about drugs and shares two LSD experiences: one leading to a nightmarish dentist visit, and another where he and Paul Allen, after watching Kung Fu, etched the existential symbol ∃ on a dewy car. Gates ultimately quit due to fears of memory damage and expresses intrigue about the potential therapeutic uses of psychedelics.
