"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.”

    Sorry… you think mortality from a drug is different from being killed by a drug? What?

      You just pay 0 attention to what people clearly and concisely explain to you, dontcha squid?

      Drug mortality is defined as any contributory cause-of-death that involved one or more of the following drugs:

      And then it lists off shit like meth, coke, anti depressants, etc. as you can see, I’ve bolded the relevant part

      You originally said “who got killed by weed”, which is different entirely. Nobody has died of smoking weed (that I know of), people HAVE died because they were high (that’s a mortality)

        So the mortality for cannabis doesn’t apply to people who just use cannabis and it has no indication of what other drugs they might have used?

        That is beyond useless information. That tells you absolutely nothing. Your chart is garbage.

      It is, yes.

      Drug-specific mortality and drug-related mortality are two different things.
