Save you a click:

Joe Emerson had been struggling over the death of his best friend, Scott, a pilot who died while on a run six years earlier. Emerson had been away for the weekend with friends, celebrating and remembering Scott.

On Friday night, the group took psychedelic mushrooms – a drug that can make you hallucinate and typically has effects that last a few hours. Emerson said that for him, the physical side effects lasted days, and the consequences a lifetime.

"There are two red handles in front of my face," Emerson recalled. "And thinking that I was going to wake up, thinking this is my way to get out of this non-real reality, I reached up and I grabbed them, and I pulled the levers."

Bullshit. Buuuuuulllllshhhhhiiiiittttt

I love shrooms. They don’t last for days. That motherfucker just fucked up on the job. Probably due to lack of sleep from all that partying. That whole “inception” nonsense is a liiieeeee

He wasn’t on the job though.

He was flying home in the jump seat and reached past the pilot and copilot.

Mental health issue, not on the job performance.

Regardless. Not the fault of drugs.

They said he was on mushrooms the day it happened too

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IIRC they also said he'd stayed up for something like 48 hours straight before the flight. Mushrooms aren't the type of drug where you can just take more to keep things going. Your body needs like a week to recover before they really work again.

So many people don't know ot understand this. Ive seen so much money wasted on shrooms from people trying to "extend" their trip. Whatever you initially take is what you'll get out of the trip. Everything after is wasted and pissed out. Idk the biology of it I just know from tons of experience taking them.

Yeah, he kept the party going for sure. Good lord, I absolutely hate being on an airplane sober, but I have never thought "damn, if I was only hallucinating on psilocybin, this would be more pleasant."

Intrusive thought, everyone has those, humans are squishy this isn't surprisingly. But blaming it on machine elves, bro, that's not cool...
