The only "drug culture" I've seen at startups is a manifestation of a different core cultural brokenness. I've seen people pressured to do modafinil (Provigil) and amphetamines (like Adderall) by their ludicrous deadlines / working hours, but I've never seen anyone pressured into doing drugs directly. I think "drugs at startups" is more a symptom of many programmers legitimately having ADD combined with stupid work demands than it is a problem in and of itself.
