I feel like this is a much of a root cause as the mushrooms:

> Emerson added that he hadn’t slept in 40 hours and was having a “nervous breakdown.”

[lamontcg]

Makes more sense than deliberate suicide.

[allears]

Too bad he's giving psychedelics a bad name. That'll make it harder to legalize them.

[BillyTheMage]

Too well timed. It's an obvious psyop. Unfortunately a lot of people will fall for it.

[kridsdale3 → BillyTheMage]

The fuck are you talking about? A reference to the Oregon legalization? He came from Everett.

[BillyTheMage → kridsdale3]

Why would it matter where he's from? That has nothing to do with anything. It's the timing that counts, that's how right-wing propaganda works. All right wingers will get from this is "mushrooms almost made a pilot crash a plane", "are you crazy? didn't you hear about that pilot that crashed that plane right after Oregon legalized mushrooms".

I have to ask again, though, why in the world do you think it matters that he's from Everett? Are Everett people special or something?
