@Stawker: Prince Skippy's snorting a double-dose of fail. But don't worry, he's built up a tolerance to it.

Where does one go with ideas that he/she thinks may be revolutionary?

@The_Age_of_Plastic: a friend of mine can wax lyrical about the hallucinogenic properties of coke when it is cut with Tide. Apparently the Tide strips the greasy coating off your neurons or something... ick.

Also: I heard about this maybe two weeks ago. There was an article about all the drug use at some site called Gawker.com. Call me a cynic, call me an innocent, but I have to think that at the rates Denton is paying, they're making it up for media cred. They can't afford drug addictions at $12 a post.

It might take Oxys to surviving the intense grind of a startup, but you're much more likely to find the spirit of the Valley in a strong tab of LSD. All the early pioneers of PCs and the internet? The wide-open creativity that generates many revolutionary ideas? Take a walk around the Black Rock desert sometime and you'll see how little painkillers have to do with any of it.

Once again, silicon valley blows something that's supposed to be edgy or cool. I thought everyone knew that the 40s were more bang for the buck. When I had a painkiller problem, I only ever bought 80s as a last resort, because they're full of shit.

@advice:

I have to agree...this drug killed a friend of mine the first time he tried it. Steer Clear!

AJAX is probably more usable when snorted than when absorbed through your computer screen.

That pill can and does kill people. It's 80 milligrams and the only people who are supposed to take it are cancer patients or people with intractable pain who have built up a tolerance to the drug. If you have not built up a tolerance to this drug, you can die from it and if you crush it up and take it you just up your chances.

It's not a joke. Stay away from it.

Uh, as opposed to all the business/finance/etc. types in other major cities NOT doing drugs?

Really?

Are you home in bed by 8PM every night or what?

@WillClark: It's an innate sense possessed by the initiated... doesn't require overt physical signs. Call it drugdar.

Oh finally, someone explains Web 2.0 to me. And here I was thinking it was all just about a group of Ajax junkies.

the world should just accept the fact that most people have to be drugged to be purely creative, and deal with certain types of jobs/skills that benefit from the affects of drugs.
