Terrible journalism. He was sleep deprived after having taken mushrooms 48hrs before, and not slept for 40hrs.

Hey, gotta demonize something and sleep deprivation is boring.

More road accidents happen due to sleep deprivation than alcohol, so this tracks. But we can't have war on sleep deprivation, can we?

Holy shit, how much did he take? I can do grams from sundown to sun up and all I want to do after that is go to bed.

Sure, you want to go to bed but can you really sleep? The first few times I couldn't sleep at all and had to usually wait until the following evening. I am used to it now, so sleep isn't a huge issue like it once was.
