In the tech world drug users, particularly of hallucinogens, probably make up the top 10%.

    Obviously this is anecdotal, but of my friends in tech (early to late 20s) I'm the only one who has not used hallucinogens or psychedelics. I don't think a single one of their salaries (not TC) are under $150k.

    Isn't that more on the artsy side of tech?

    No. The majority are taking federally illegal drugs in some capacity.

    73% have taken weed in some form in the past year according to a quick Google search compared to 43% of Americans. The California bay area (tech capital of the world) is also very open minded to drugs. I've been to many parties here with people openly using cocaine, shrooms, molly, and acid. Never felt unsafe or concerned for anyone because even at large parties (500+ people) people are always looking out for others and keeping everyone safe.

    I honestly didn't believe recreational cocaine use was a thing until moving here and it absolutely blew my mind. I'll personally never touch it, but to each their own.
