Across America, women are using hallucinogens to improve their marriages and mental health. Meet the ‘mushroom mommies.’

"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.”

    Your brother may need to hear what Alan Watts had to say about this:

    If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen.

      My brother is 11 years older than me (I was planned and my parents were not on second marriages) and because of that, he has decided that I will never be old enough to tell him anything he doesn’t already know.

      Like I said, weird as fuck dealing with him.
