Mushroom-infused chocolate bars aren’t just a trendy snack — they’re also a deliciously psychedelic treat. And, if you’re a crafty baker, you can easily make your own psilocybin mushroom chocolate bars at home. These psychedelic treats are a fusion of taste and health, blending chocolate’s antioxidant properties with the hallucinogenic effects of mushrooms.
Many people are drawn to this psychedelic candy because of its potential as an alternative to opioids and other dangerous drugs. But it’s important to remember that mushrooms are not a replacement for other medications, and even small doses can have serious side effects. It’s also important to know how to use the product safely and responsibly.
A recent outbreak of illness has caused officials to warn consumers about the dangers of buying and using psilocybin-laced chocolate. According to a report from the Food and Drug Administration, at least 48 cases of illness have been reported in connection with Diamond Shruumz-brand microdosing chocolate bars and gummies. Some of these cases resulted in seizures, loss of consciousness and agitation. Others have reported vomiting, abnormal heart rates and high or low blood pressure.
The FDA is working with state and local agencies, as well as America’s poison centers, to investigate the illnesses. The company that makes the products, Prophet Premium Blends of Santa Ana, California, has recalled the chocolates and gummies.
While most of the victims in these cases have consumed the psilocybin-infused chocolates, there have been other reports of illnesses associated with eating mushrooms in other foods. People have reported having nausea, agitation, confusion and an abnormal heart rate after eating other foods containing mushrooms.
Some psilocybin-infused foods are not sold as such, and instead contain a synthetic psychoactive tryptamine known as 4-acetoxy-dimethyltryptamine or 4-AcO-DMT. The chemical breaks down in the body into psilocin, which can cause some of the same psychedelic effects as psilocybin. The products are often labeled as magic mushroom chocolates and are often sold in nostalgic flavors like cookies and cream and fruity pebbles. For more details please visit mushroom-infused bars
The aesthetics of most mushroom chocolates skew funkadelic and cartoonish, a combination of trippy ’90s computer art and manic candy branding. They’re usually packaged in colorful wrappers and emblazoned with psychedelic designs, and they’re widely available at dispensaries and smoke shops across the country, as well as online.
TREHouse’s psilocybin mushroom chocolate bar has been lab-tested to ensure the highest quality. The chocolate itself is organic and fair-trade certified, and the psilocybin comes from an edible fungus called the Amanita muscaria. It’s also vegan and gluten-free, making it a great option for anyone with allergies or sensitivities. The psilocybin takes about an hour to kick in, so it’s important to take only one serving at a time and wait patiently for the effects to set in. Like THC gummies, the effects can last for hours, so it’s important not to go back for more chocolate. But, if you do experience an adverse reaction to the magic mushroom, seek medical attention immediately.
