"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.”

    Sounds like a fun evening to me. Especially if you’re with someone you like.

      I’m getting old but a couple times a year, my partner and I take a heroic dose of MDMA, get naked, and become hedonistic writing puddles of ecstasy. We’re not going to stop until we’re dead.

        Man, I hope we all go out like that. That sounds really beautiful.

          Thank you. I’m very grateful every day. We used to do it much more often when we were party rave peeps, but now that we’re older, we save it for special times.
