minus-squareBeetschnapps@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·1 年前I call BS. Mushrooms don’t keep you up and… call me naive but… FLYING A FUCKING AIRPLANE shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. Why not take a sick day?
minus-squareXIIIesq@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·1 年前It can be tough to sleep mid-trip, but 10-12 hours or more later? You have other issues/substances if you can’t sleep.
minus-squaresquiblet@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 年前Sure, staying up 2 days and then trying to kill 85 people on an airplane is not a normal reaction.
minus-squareidiomaddict@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 年前He hadn’t slept in 40 hours, but he took the shrooms 48 hours prior, so he had slept since the shrooms at least for a bit.
minus-squaresquiblet@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 年前Considering he was apparently on a psychotic break, not sure how reliable his self-reporting is.
minus-squareidiomaddict@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前Then maybe he never took shrooms or took them an hour beforehand, too
