MODERATORS
We trip regularly and I use to work in childcare. This does not sound negligent to me at all.
Mushrooms just aren't very disabling once you're familiar with them and measure doses. I've ran into and chatted with professional acquaintances while on mushrooms. It's fine.
It's done wonders for our relationship and mental health. I don't think it's for everyone, but it's been a huge boon to us.
Did you do it at the same time as watching the kids?
Of course not but at work as a primary carer for other people's kids is a very different scenario that at home with your own kids who are asleep while you have trusted sober adults on standby.
But I'm being told it's absolutely fine to do. Why is it irresponsible with other people's kids but not your own?
Because you can judge the risk for yourself and decide that at home with the kids asleep and someone on standby is within your risk tolerance. But it's not ethical to make that decision for other people.
And it's not just about others' kids vs your own - there are many factors that make them different situations.
You are making that risk decision for other people though - the sleeping kids.
Parents assess risks on behalf of their children all the time, that's like the main thing about being a parent.
They do. And they often make bad decisions. Which this is.
You're not familiar with the people involved, you don't know the details of how much they're taking and it sounds like you're unfamiliar with the psychedelic experience. You just do not have the information to make an accurate assessment of the decisions these strangers made.
You don't know them either. You don't know the details of how much they're taking. etc. You're just as guilty as I am.
