What Drugs Did John McAfee Use? All of Them

One would think a bad trip like that would make a person wary of trying other drugs, but that was not the case. Two decades later, in 1983, he was “snorting lines of coke off his desk most mornings, polishing off a bottle of scotch every day, and living in constant fear that he would run out of drugs.”

That was McAfee’s rock bottom and what led him to Alcoholics Anonymous, where he got sober. As of the time of the Wired piece, he claimed to still be sober. Unfortunately, it didn’t stick.
