The Unexpected Trip
At the party, Kendrick was offered a chance to try microdosing mushrooms. She agreed, thinking it would be fun. The delivery method? A chocolate bar. Each partygoer took a small square. Kendrick, ever cautious, halved her already tiny portion.
What could go wrong? As it turns out, plenty.
Kendrick soon discovered that chocolate isn’t ideal for evenly distributing mushrooms. Her “microdose” turned into a “macrodose.” The actress found herself overwhelmed, repeatedly exclaiming her state of intoxication.

A Friend in Need
Enter Brittany Snow, Kendrick’s costar and friend. Recognizing Kendrick’s predicament, Snow made a bold decision. She took more mushrooms to join her friend in the experience by taking more chocolates herself.
The two ended up in a corner, grinning and crying simultaneously. They exchanged effusive compliments and admired the blending of Snow’s facial decorations with the Los Angeles skyline.
Kendrick’s grand revelation? She told Snow to remake the film Chinatown.
A Lesson Learned
The actress was quick to clarify that her story was for entertainment purposes only. When asked about the legality of microdosing, she advised learning from her mistakes. “Don’t do drugs,” she cautioned.
This incident highlights the unpredictable nature of recreational drug use. Even with careful planning, things can go awry. It’s a reminder that what seems like harmless fun can have unexpected consequences.
Kendrick’s openness about this experience sparks important conversations. How do we balance curiosity with safety? What role do friends play in these situations?
As we laugh at Kendrick’s misadventure, we’re also invited to reflect. Her story serves as a humorous yet sobering reminder of the risks associated with drug experimentation.
