"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.”
When I said applauding, I was refering to people in this thread, not the writer of the article.
And I didn’t say driving drunk was okay.
Also, I feel like you’re being unnecessarily hostile by repeatedly calling me ignorant and accusing me of pearl-clutching, and if you keep if up, I’m just gonna block you.
I have a bit of knowledge about this topic too, you know.
Again, you’re ignoring all the points. Thus you are being willfully ignorant about the facts of the matter. I’m not calling you an ignorant person in general. I’m saying you — like at least >50% of people — are being willfully ignorant.
You’re treating taking MDMA as if it was impairing, while you don’t seem to have experience on what taking serotonergic substances feels like. You’re dismissing the points on why people do it, despite that being your question originally, as far as I understood.
If you’re perceiving this as hostile, it’s probably because you’re not perceiving your comments or attitude as in any way offensive. When they are. It’s offensive to be generalised as a “drug user”, which equates peaceful, responsible recreational users to abusers using “proper” hard drugs.
Alright, I’m blocking you.
There’s no point in conversing with someone calling me a liar.
Again, willfully ignorant. Literally. I make a joke about not believing you, because you display things which show your lack of knowledge. Then you ignore every other point.
I’ve had this conversation a thousand times.
