Quote from the article: Mushrooms typically lose their hallucinogenic effects within six hours, so it’s unclear if [the pilot] would have still been impaired if he had taken them 48 hours before the flight, as detailed in the state court documents. According to official documents there should be no connection between the halucinogens and the entire accident. What they should look into instead are the terrible guidelines, that cause any pilot that seeks treatment for mental health issues to be grounded. This obviously just encourages pilots to hide their illnesses. Seems like a problem of broken incentives, although I'm not sure what the fix is.
