When asked if she ever used psychedelics while attending Nevada’s Burning Man Festival, the 67-year-old actress told the Daily Beast that these days she prefers mushrooms to acid because she “doesn’t like to feel speedy.” She then weighed in on when the best time to smoke weed is. Go, Susan.
From Page 6:
I’m not new to the idea of mushrooms. I don’t really like chemical things, really. Timothy Leary was a friend of mine, so that acid was nice and pure, but I’m not really looking for chemicals, and I don’t like to feel speedy. But I’ve done Ayahuasca and I’ve done mushrooms and things like that. But I like those drugs in the outdoors — I’m not a city-tripper.”
As for marijuana, Sarandon suggests not smoking if you have responsibilities to attend to. “My attitude about marijuana or anything is, ‘Don’t be stoned if you have to pretend you’re not,’ so I’d never do drugs if I was taking care of my kids,” explained the ping-pong queen. “I like doing it in the Grand Canyon, or in the woods. You want to be prepared and not have responsibilities.”
The conversation soon shifted to the drug becoming decriminalized in New York. Sarandon thinks it will be legal everywhere soon.
“Certainly, if more people were smoking instead of drinking, people don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed, and don’t drive crazy on weed,” she said. “They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house, or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world.”
Elsewhere in the Daily Beast interview, she goes after Woody Allen, saying:
I think he really tore that family apart in a way that was horrible, and hasn’t really dealt with the aftermath. He’s always had a reputation for being with younger girls—I mean younger girls. And also, that young woman [Soon-Yi] was very vulnerable, and I think it was very hard for the siblings, and certainly for Mia. You just don’t go there. You don’t go there.
