    Sure it’s possible he’s making a bullshit excuse.

    But dude you have no idea what was going on in his trip. He could have eaten a 5g chocolate bar and started freaking out trying to make it stop, thinking “I need to get out NOW” and being on autopilot (himself, not the plane) since he’s flown so many times, turned the engines off. I’m sure the FAA audio will collaborate his freaking out.

    You apparently haven’t had a bad trip on a megadose. Don’t go all “weed has zero bad side effects, man” about mushrooms just because you like them. This isn’t a hit piece on shrooms. It’s a piece against dosing before you fly a plane full of people which I’m totally good with.

      He wasn’t flying the plane.

      He was off-duty and tried to open an emergency exit.

        Before that, he was in the cockpit (yes, off-duty) and lunged for the controls. The pilot had to correct it.
