    Here in California my local smoke shop sells psilocybin infused chocolates under the table, but everyone knows about it and they’re all branded and clean looking

    It’s legit a dream come true to pop by on the way home Friday for a trip on the weekend, and the idea that it’s illegal disgusts me

      I read up on those, and (generally speaking, YMMV) the amount of active ingredient is ineffectively negligible, if there’s any detectable at all. Not what I want to spend my money on.

        A couple of the brands I’d agree with you on as I ate an entire bar of one type and felt nada, and another brand regularly felt much weaker.

        However, as someone who grows their own as well, there are brands that aren’t fucking around and will have you tripping hard on just a few pieces, and it’s definitely psilocybin.

        Smoke shop owner actively gets reviews from those of us who buy and has been filtering out the duds over time, it’s been one of the most wholesome illegal drug experiences in my life tbh

          I was right to qualify my statement, then! I can see where if you had a shop owner who was on their game, that would be a fantastic place to buy from. The vape store that sells Delta 9 and happens to have some rando shroom products, I’ll pass on that.

              I’ll take my home grown gourmet shrooms over any chocolate bar that is sold under the counter.

              While the common phrase is “a cube is a cube”, I am finding that different mushrooms can have very distinct trip characteristics. (My Stormtroopers give me a really “fluffy” high and everything feels like a pillow, for example. It’s weird, and I compare it to being inside a vagina. It’s… a unique experience.)

              Grinding up rando shrooms and shoveling that into a candy bar doesn’t seem that appealing after having felt the nuances of different strains.

        If it’s anything like the weed edibles market, steer clear unless you know who’s making it.

        Otherwise you’re just going to be ripped off.
