"But Rachel also has another hobby, one that makes her a bit different from the other moms in her Texas suburb—not that she talks about it with them. Once a month or so, after she and her husband put the kids to bed, Rachel texts her in-laws—who live just down the street—to make sure they’re home and available in the event of an emergency.

“And then, Rachel takes a generous dose of magic mushrooms, or sometimes MDMA, and—there’s really no other way to say this— spends the next several hours tripping balls.”

    The newsworthiness of it is really just the education of the common public that have nothing but bad brainwashing when it comes to drug knowledge. People that follow school drug programs like DARE and believe they’ll turn into crack fiends if they smell tylenol from 50 ft away. It also educates the open minded but less knowledgeable to their potential avenues. It’s a net good even if to those more knowledgeable it’s just a passing affirmation of what’s already known.
