Silicon Valley's Billionaire Magic Mushroom & Toad Venom Club
In a dazzling psychedelic potluck thrown by Silicon Valley's top minds, Steve Jobs famously went on an acid quest between 1972-74, calling it 'profound,' while Bill Gates confessed that Jobs urged him to 'take acid' to improve design tasteāand Gates insists he got the 'code batch' instead. OpenAI's Sam Altman found a 'life-changing' weekend retreat in Mexico that turned his anxiety to calm, while Google cofounder Sergey Brin quietly sampled magic mushrooms and supported $15 million into psychedelic mental health research. Meanwhile, Bryan Johnson flushes $2 million annually to fight aging with supplements and smokes rare Sonoran Desert Toad venom (5-MeO-DMT) so seriously he got a tattoo of its molecule, mapping consciousness better than your last AI startup pitch deck. Burning Man acts as the trippy playground for these titans, proving brain-hacking is Silicon Valley's true side hustle.
