The Trump White House is typically game to spin any narrative lobbed its way, but reports about Elon Musk’s rampant drug use appear to be another story.
Following The New York Times’ shocking report that Musk, while acting as a senior adviser to Donald Trump, was regularly consuming large amounts of drugs, reporter Megan Twohey appeared on MSNBC to discuss the story. In the process, she revealed that the White House had refused to answer questions put to them about whether or not they had administered drug tests to Musk during his tenure.
Musk’s SpaceX similarly did not respond to questions from the Times, specifically about whether the company gave Musk advance notice of the “random” drug tests it administers to its employees, something it reportedly began doing after he infamously smoked weed during his appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast. SpaceX, as a large government contractor, is required to maintain a drug-free workforce.
Everything I read about shrooms makes me think it’d be a productive experience for me to try them, but it’s something I’d want someone sober around to trip sit for safety, but if I had someone in my life I felt safe being that vulnerable with I’m not sure I’d feel the need to try them as much. Hmm. :/
Having a trip sitter would be ideal, but isn’t fully necessary so long as you start small. Don’t take more than 2 grams (assuming you’re an average size adult male) and you’ll be fine. You’ll have some nausea which is normal, so don’t eat a ton or drink anything acidic or bubbly before. The part of your brain that gets tickled for psychedelic effects is either the same or next door to the nausea part of your brain, so just get through the first wave of tummy gymnastics and the rest is therapeutic meditation. Watch clouds, look at bugs in the grass, touch tree bark. Be in our natural world. Just be somewhere safe and comfortable where you don’t need to be concerned about being judged. Idk how people can enjoy it in a public setting lol. Or more often than like once per year.
It’s been a while for me, but you bring things back with you from a trip. It helps you to tear yourself down so you can rebuild a little differently.
