As someone who's been severely sleep deprived before, I hope he gets help and not prison. I don't know what led to him being awake for 40hrs, but something makes me think it wasn't the shrooms that kept him awake because, afaik, they should have worn off long before he boarded the flight.
I've never taken shrooms but every single shroom-related story I've ever been told has ended with "...and then I fell asleep."
Usually after "So I took some shrooms and watched The Wall..."
lmao. Maybe get a dream exit strategy that doesn’t double as a real-world major safety disruption.
