MMA Fighter Faces Murder charges after drinking Mushroom Tea

Okay, since the MMA creep story has been coming up every dad-burned minute since the face-eatey incident, I will summarize news articles and clarifying comments I've read in the wake of the Zombie Apocalypse meme:

1. The MMA guy and his friend had been ingesting cocaine and meth for several days before they ingested mushroom tea. They thought it would "bring them down." Oh, erowid, where were thee? They had not slept in 3-4 days.

2. The MMA, who naturally, was quite muscular, owed his hyper-developed physique to a combination of training and a multiple year regime of random, illegal and extremely potent STEROIDS. He devised his own steroid regimen and was not renowned for his deep respect for research and education.

So, cocaine + meth + extreme sleep deprivation until the shadow people are visible. News articles reported that the men had been using cocaine and meth for 3-4 days without an interval of sleep. Ingestion of way too much psylocibin by under-educated drug users.

They entered into a prolonged, intense conversation about the devil being in the house with them "trip." The MMA fighter's growing conviction that his friend WAS the devil resulted in him attacking and dismembering his friend.

Would such a perfect storm of danger have evolved had the guys taken Valium instead of a random, but hefty, dose of psylocibin? Who knows?

The point is, and many people who've used psylocibin might concur, that the media's focus on ONE (& certain the least physically, if not psychically, destructive) substance that contributed to this horror is cynical, pandering and irresponsibly deceptive.

tl;dr MMA dude suffered a combo of 'roid rage and hallucinations after by 3-4 days of meth and coke use and the sleep deprivation brought about by those drugs. The guys dosed a huge (and recklessly untitrated) amount of psylocibin in an effort to "come down."

Steroids + cocaine + methamphetamine + 3-4 days sleep deprivation + shadow people + religious background (argument re: God v. Devil aka Satan) + shrooms = Really Bad Shit.

Research and education are our friends.

Now, I've tried googling this a bit, and haven't found one single article mentioning the alleged meth and coke use before drinking the mushroom tea. I did find a testimony by Wyatt stating that he has used meth some years earlier (and interestingly, also saying that he had some years ago encountered the case prosecutor in a meth party of some sort), but nothing regarding stimulant use just before the brutal incident.

Anyone remember/able to find any article or other source confirming these claims?
 
Well fuck do I sure stand corrected (despite not having access to that information and assuming its true).

Of course its shrooms that gets the heat.

What a bunch of idiots though thinking it would bring them down. Jesus.
 
3:12pm- drank mushroom tea
3:24pm- feeling a little funny but seems too soon to be mush- must just be anxiety lol
3:55pm- definitely starting to come up! feelin pretty good- startin to get some slight visuals
4:34pm- triiippin baaalls awesome visuals, lotsa morphing
5:03pm- i have left planet earth. everything is melting.
5:30pm- got ass raped and spit on by satan
6:08pm- preformed an exorcism on my friend
6:10pm- took nap- very exhausted after exorcism. was extremely spiritual, felt like i really touched my friends heart. good vibes, satan is definitely not coming back.

As unethical as it might seem, I'd actually like to see a proper TR from the killer himself. It's hard for me to imagine what went through his head.
