"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.”

    Firstly, there’s nothing suggest they’re suspect.

    Apart from the fact that, as I said, they come from David Nutt, who won’t say where he got the numbers from. Why that isn’t an issue to you, I don’t know.

    you’re clearly trying to cast doubt on whether breathing in smoke is bad for you.

    I am doing no such thing. If you’re going to lie about what I am saying directly to me, this conversation is over.

      Read the study.

      You are doing such thing. You’ve repeatedly sidestepped it, and keep using language to cast doubt on it.

      I want you to tell me right now that breathing in smoke, unequivocally, causes cancer, and therefore death.

      Again, this is not a thing in doubt. It’s not an “if”. It’s an established fact.

        I have read the study. Both of you have told me to read the study. I did. I don’t think either of you did or you would quote what supports the chart’s claim that there is a significant mortality risk due to using cannabis.

        The study simply does not show where this information comes from.

        Don’t tell me to read the study when you have not.
