Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admits to eating 'hallucinogenic' mushrooms during China visit: 'Delicious'

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ate hallucinogenic mushrooms during her recent visit to China, she announced Monday.

Yellen ate the mushrooms as part of a meal at popular Chinese restaurant chain Yi Zuo Yi Wang (In and Out). She said she was not aware at the time that the dish included psychedelic mushrooms, but it soon became clear.

"So I went with this large group of people and the person who had arranged our dinner did the ordering," Yellen told CNN. "There was this delicious mushroom dish. I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties."
