Julia Roberts Opens Up About Magic Mushrooms and E-cigarettes
Hollywood actress Julia Roberts admits trying "magic mushrooms" and condemns e-cigarettes on a popular American talk show.

According to a popular American late-night show "Watch What Happens", Hollywood actress Julia Roberts recently publicly confessed to having experimented with so-called "magic mushrooms" and referred to e-cigarettes, which are popular among teenagers, as "despicable".

 

The Oscar winner revealed this information for the first time on the popular American television and radio talk show hosted by Andy Cohen, and also participated in his well-known game "Plead the Fifth". In this game, viewers have the right to ask the guest three questions, and the guest can choose not to answer one of them.

 

A male audience member at the event sparked a discussion about psychotropic drugs when he asked Roberts about the most hardcore drug she has tried. When asked if it was a positive experience, she replied, "Actually, it was quite good, I won't lie. But I have to tell you, kids, please don't try this stuff.

 

During a visit at the Toronto International Film Festival, she denounced the widespread popularity of e-cigarettes among teenagers as "disgusting" and addressed her role as a mother in discussing the negative impacts of drug use with her three children.

 

Roberts said, "Fortunately, the relationship between my husband, our children and me is very close and open. Whenever we have dinner together, we are not afraid to discuss any topic. It’s all part of our family conversations: 'Do you know what this is?' 'Have you heard about this?' 'Have you tried this?' It is essential for a parent to be able to communicate freely and without reservations with their children.

 

Magic mushrooms, also known as psychedelic mushrooms, contain a substance called psilocybin. When ingested, this substance is metabolized by the liver through a process called dephosphorylation, transforming it into psilocin. Psilocin then affects the central nervous system of the human body.
