Ceremonial Chemicals

Most hackers don't smoke tobacco, and use alcohol in moderation if at all.
|
|
However, there has been something of a trend towards exotic beers since
|
|
about 1995, especially among younger Linux hackers apparently influenced by
|
|
Linus Torvalds's fondness for Guinness. Limited use of non-addictive
|
|
psychedelic drugs, such as cannabis, LSD, psilocybin, nitrous oxide, etc.,
|
|
used to be relatively common and is still regarded with more tolerance than
|
|
in the mainstream culture. Use of downers and opiates, on the other hand,
|
|
appears to be particularly rare; hackers seem in general to dislike drugs
|
|
that make them stupid. But on the gripping hand , many hackers regularly
|
|
wire up on caffeine and/or sugar for all-night hacking runs.
