"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.”

    Well, drugs keep selling, and people generally don’t talk about their drug use in public, so logically there are probably some people you don’t expect doing drugs. A loooot of people in their 20s party with shrooms, coke, acid, molly, whatever so not completely surprising that they don’t all just go cold turkey as they get older.
