Diplo on CNN: The Truth About His LSD Experience During New Year Eve
During CNN’s New Year’s Eve live broadcast, DJ and music producer Diplo surprised hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper by revealing he was under the influence of LSD during their interview.
Speaking from Los Angeles before his performance at Avalon Hollywood nightclub, Diplo admitted to taking the psychedelic substance during his helicopter ride to the venue.
The exchange began when Cohen inquired about the most unconventional place Diplo had used LSD. Diplo responded, “Right now,” leading to disbelief from Cohen and laughter from Cooper. Diplo elaborated that he was currently microdosing but might have taken a larger dose earlier in the day.
This candid admission elicited varied reactions online, with some viewers expressing concern over the casual discussion of drug use on a live broadcast, while others viewed it as an embodiment of Diplo’s unconventional lifestyle.
Despite the revelation, Diplo proceeded with his scheduled performances, sharing videos from the events on social media.
It’s worth noting that LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States, indicating a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.
Public admissions of its use, especially on live television, can spark discussions about drug culture and legality.
