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

no, he wasn't. The trip doesn't last for 48 hours. He consumed the mushrooms 48 hours beforehand.

I've taken a lot of magic mushrooms and I've never tried to stop an airplane.

Can I ask…. How many shrooms do you have to take for it to go 48 hours like that?

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works -1 points 11 months ago

I don't think it's possible.
