Eh, I've done enough of both of them to say that it's sometimes hard to look at your phone screen. I have two kids. I still get together with friends one time every year to "trip balls," it's become a bit of a ritual weekend for six adults with children of various ages. Step one is we all get rid of the kids. That is probably the only gripe I have here with Rachel, but she also does have a sober adult in the house.
I just couldn't and wouldn't do any of it with my kids anywhere around me. Imagine you're peaking and little Susie fucking vomits all over her bed and needs mommy, because kids fet that way. Do you want to be on mushrooms/MDMA?
I generally agree with you though. I doubt Rachel is taking three or four tabs of acid and disappearing, or a .3 of MDMA. There are most definitely doses that are manageable yet mind-altering. I guess the kid thing comes down to risk tolerance and personal preference. I don't think the kid is somehow unsafe.
Well, yeah. Depends on the dosage, obviously.
If you're at home, just chilling, you're probably doing a rather mild dose.
I know I definitely have a "watching Harry Potter and chilling" dose of LSD and a "we're tripping with friends on a night out" dose, and whilst I have no children, I suspect I would gravitate more towards the former dosage than the latter.
Well, a lot of the events I've been at where I took MDMA, it has actually felt like that, as I've once or twice had to shepherd a friend or two, some of whom may have been in a very childlike state and vomiting. (I know it's very different with children, this is just a joke.) It does take the trip down a notch, but it's really nothing that affects me too much. So Rachel could probably handle it. Hopefully at least. It'd be irresponsible otherwise. And she doesn't seem irresponsible, going by the article.
