What a welcoming party

  OOP either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that labor can take hours, and is completely unpredictable. There’s also the issue of finding a delivery room with space to accommodate five observers, in addition to the other people who absolutely need to be there.

  This isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but the practicalities are significant.

    It is definitely a bad idea because such a trip, especially in an unpredictable setting like this, can turn upside down real quick and the last thing a woman giving birth needs is some guys freaking out and needing the personnels attention. If you really respect the act of giving birth you should minimize the risks of it going wrong (you could argue that theyre getting paid and its their choice to take the risk, but thats kind of like saying sex workers could do an other job if they dont enjoy it). The same goes for people who want to visit in the first few days after birth, just because theyre “so excited for the baby they cant wait to see it”. Think of the woman who went through hell a few hours ago and probably feels like a truck hit her in the face right now. Leave her the f alone. If they invite you, cool.

    Don’t mushroom trips also take hours?

      Maybe 4 hours. LSD will last maybe 8 hours so perhaps a better(?) choice

      They are relatively short, they should do LSD just to be sure!

      I think the mushroom trips feel like they take hours to the person taking it, but really hardly any time passes at all.

      I wouldn’t know. Haven’t had a chance to do it yet.

      Imagine 8 hours of toddlers watching a birth.

    Set up a camera and run the video to a nearby viewing room

      They can watch video of live births at anytime without all the effort of coordination.

  I cannot stress enough how traumatic this would be for everyone involved

      Birth is pretty traumatic for babies to begin with.

      You start off on this dark, warm room. Floating in a little bubble of fluid.

      Then all of a sudden the bubble is gone. You’re squeezing headfirst through a hole smaller in size than a CD. It’s bright, it’s cold, it’s dry, and it’s loud. You have to start breathing and then you can’t stop or you die, but nobody tells you that right away. Someone slaps your butt and someone else cuts your blood tube to mom.

      No wonder they come out screaming.

      And that’s a typical, uncomplicated birth. Let’s not talk about suction cups or forceps or cesareans.

  Never watched a splatter movie on shrooms, not sure if that’s a good idea.

    The difference is your option results in death, while theirs results in life.

      Only if everything goes well and even then it can be very bloody.

    Not a splatter movie, but Stalker was a hell of a movie on shrooms. 11/10 experience

      Still better than the Patience episode of Wondershowzen.

      Stalker is just a great film, drugged or not.
