> I swear that if one particular vendor had discovered a IIc instead of LSD in the mid-80s, every one of us on this site would know his name. I don't know if I'm missing the point here, but if this is true, then wouldn't it follow that drugs are something that society should be fighting against?

There are ways for society to fight against things besides criminalizing them

I would have preferred Zuckerberg doing LSD instead creating Facebook. Less harm would have come to society.

Assuming IIc is an Apple reference, I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs asked people if they did LSD during the interview and didn't hire them if they were squares.

  It's a confusing one for sure. I thought he meant "a 2c" as in "one of the 2c class of drugs" which are similar to LSD.

    LLC, limited liability Corp. I'm pretty sure that is what they are referring to.

    That’s a neat coincidence. The guy I’m talking about started having problems in the mid-80s around when the Apple IIc was released.

  That’s pretty close to what I was getting at. Without violating too much confidence, the guy I’m talking about had a bit of a breakdown in the mid-80s, around when the IIc was released. With just a couple of small changes, I can’t even guess what he could accomplish. Unfortunately, we fight a war on drugs and make people like that into enemies. I don’t think fighting is the solution and if it is, I’m still waiting for results.

If I had to choose between unlimited lsd vs unlimited facebook I would take the lsd.

That’s actually pretty close to the point, just warped slightly. What if we stopped fighting because part of fighting a war on drugs means turning some pretty cool people into enemies?
