Why the pearl clutching over a child in the house? The person even goes as far as arranging possible cover from the in-laws. Even if they didn't, it is a child and not a ticking time bomb. Obvious idiots getting blind drunk or tripping balls into the next dimension aside, an experienced tripper in a safe environment (ie their home) would be able to handle themselves fine.
Why don't they take the child to the in-laws? Waiting for an emergency is too late.
Children require and deserve a safe and predictable environment populated by responsible adults who can attend to their needs and adequately respond in an emergency.
Quote from the Article:
Theres still a sober person in the house.
It's still not a great situation. The sober person ends up looking after the intoxicated person. In an emergency, the sober person has to end up trying to deal with both the intoxicated person and the kids.
And it's not good for kids to see their parents being intoxicated (which can happen if the kids wake up). Kids need to feel that their caretakers are capable of looking after them.
I really don't see why she couldn't send her kids to the in-laws once a month.
(I also don't see why she couldn't just decide to stay sober. I guess her life is just so miserable?)
First of all, there are still the in laws if something really bad happens. Second, someone experienced with shrooms knows how to handle most stuff.
Ask yourself, do you like doing stuff you enjoy? You like to read a good book? Watch a film or play some video games. Or go out and party. Its literally the same. If done responsibly there isn't really that much that can go wrong. Why not let people to things they enjoy.
And being an experienced tripper myself, I'm sure they're still capable of adequately responding to their children's needs. A basic recreational dose of MDMA or LSD would enhance my evening and I wouldn't be fit to drive a car, but compared to having several drinks, not really impaired. If there was a genuine emergency emergency, I'd still be able to function. Like I could drive a car, but like with when being drunk, I wouldn't unless it was the only option. Which in this case, it wouldn't be, seeing as if they needed to drive, the in-laws are there ready for that.
What sort of an emergency do you expect they would be too impaired to handle?
Why keep the child out of eyesight at all in that case? Why stay in a house and not just camp in front of emergency department if one is so afraid of life happening?
