Elon Musk is taking ketamine and techies are microdosing mushrooms. So it's OK to do drugs at work now?


People are increasingly using drugs like psilocybin, ketamine, and LSD as a way to do better on the job.

Startup hustlers and working women say they're turning to "magic" mushrooms to be more productive and creative, to take the edge off, or maybe just to get a bit of a hangover-free after-hours buzz. Justin Townsend, the CEO and head facilitator of MycoMeditations, which offers psilocybin-assisted retreats in Jamaica, told me that many of his clients say his services, which can run from $6,500 to $23,000, help them to be better leaders and perform better professionally. Marijuana has been decriminalized in many more parts of the country than psilocybin, but you're still likelier to lose your employment over smoking a joint on the job than you are if you eat a square of a magic-mushroom chocolate bar.
