Chelsea Handler attempted to normalize and justify drug use in Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.
What began as a normal conversation quickly turned into a hinged rant about how comedians support drug use to “help people make more enjoyable.” Handler boasted of her drug use and admitted that she encouraged her to indulge in her peers. “I love drugs… especially people have this accusation around drugs I find very annoying. Drugs can help so many people,” Handler told live television.

Handler explained that she felt that certain types and amounts of medications were embracing the experience
“I’m not talking about street drugs like cocaine or heroin. They’re bad, but they can be fun… they’re bad,” she said.
“I’m talking to you so that you can treat Psilocybin, LSD and actually depression and help people become more enjoyable.”
She continued to accept drug use in front of millions of viewers tailored to the talk show, who seemed unaware of the dangerous messages she was sending.

Handler claimed she did not overuse the drug, but she openly supported her use under certain conditions.
“But Microdose, it’s not where you’re outside your locker and hallucination.”
Train Wreck continued when she became uncontrollably blurred about how she felt taking small amounts of medication was casual and normal.
“I said the macro dose is like 500 milligrams. I’m talking about taking 50 milligrams of MDMA and LSD,” she said.
It did when the conversation seemed not to get worse. Handler boasted to Kimmel about how generous she was at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, telling the talk show host that she freely distributed drugs to celebrities attending high-end events.

“I share it with everyone. I love giving people drugs!” said the handler.
“You’d seen Vanity Fair Party, Oscar, oh, I was giving it to everyone who was like, ‘I’m going to have a good time with this’ and ‘It’s okay’,” she said.
Handler irresponsibly pretended she had grasped everyone who understood everyone, making it seem like a risk-free experience.
“I mean getting their medical background, do you know what I mean? I’m not irresponsible about it,” she said.

This is not the first time a handler has advocated for drug use. She shared images of her 50th birthday celebration on social media in February, telling fans that she was taking LSD while skiing in a bikini alone.

Kimmel questioned whether skiing after microdoshing LSD was dangerous, but the handler claimed it was “enhancing the experience you’ve experienced.”
