"But Rachel also has another hobby, one that makes her a bit different from the other moms in her Texas suburb—not that she talks about it with them. Once a month or so, after she and her husband put the kids to bed, Rachel texts her in-laws—who live just down the street—to make sure they’re home and available in the event of an emergency.

“And then, Rachel takes a generous dose of magic mushrooms, or sometimes MDMA, and—there’s really no other way to say this— spends the next several hours tripping balls.”

    Does inhaling smoke cause cancer, yes or no?

    Why are you evading this so much? Why do you seemingly not believe that inhaling smoke can cause cancer? It absolutely does.

      Why are you evading this so much?

      Now that is some irony. You’ve been evading my one claim this entire time: the mortality numbers are suspect, something I was saying before you even replied to me. No, I’m not going to move on to the lung cancer thing until my issue is addressed first. I’m not going to just drop what I was talking about initially and talk about what you want to talk about instead.

      You also evaded what I literally just said- that you didn’t read the study you told me to read.

      Do you see yourself when you look in the mirror?
