#Musk also took Ecstasy & psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States & in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.

… The drug has psychedelic properties & can cause dissociation from reality. Chronic use can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain and control.

If you’ve used too much #ketamine, you can’t really get work done, & I have a lot of work,” #Musk said.

He had actually developed a far more serious habit, NYT found.

Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, & mixing it with other #drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use & recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him.

#Musk has a history of recreational #DrugUse, WSJ reported last year. Some board members at #Tesla …have worried about his use of #drugs, including Ambien, a sleep medication.
[Drug use is one thing, #DrugAbuse is another]

In an interview in March 2024, the journalist Don Lemon pressed him on his drug use. Musk said he took only “a small amount” of #ketamine, about once every two weeks, as a prescribed treatment for *negative moods*.

The Straits Times · S’pore must be wary of synthetic drugs amid worst overdose epidemic in history: Veteran journalistFentanyl is one such drug and is estimated to be up to 100 times more potent than morphine. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

In late 2020, voters in Oregon overwhelmingly passed the most liberal drug law in the U.S., decriminalizing possession of small amounts of hard drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine. Instead of jail time, Ballot Measure 110 aimed to expand addiction treatment services. In the end, the timing could not have been worse. @RollingStone describes what happened in the state’s biggest city, Portland, and its ensuing attempts to find a balance between care and coercion:

A person is using fentanyl on Park Avenue following the decriminalisation of all drugs in downtown Portland, Oregon on January 23, 2024. Since hard drugs were decriminalised in Oregon three years ago, there are no arrests, just a fine and a card with a telephone number where the user can get help. In February 2021, possession and use of all drugs -- including cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and fentanyl -- was decriminalised in the western state. Sale and production remains punishable.
