…mushroom gummies are flooding… dispensaries anyway
“In California enforcement is not something happening when it comes to psilocybin products,” the founder of psilocybin gummy brand Cubiq tells Los Angeles magazine under the pseudonym “Maria Sabina”…
“There are brands moving psilocybin all over the world,” Sabina says. “…the underground market has been thriving for many years with great demand.” According to Sabina, branded psychedelic products began flourishing in the state “almost instantly” after the passing of Proposition 64, which legalized recreational cannabis in California back in 2016… “The psychedelics industry is trying to move forward as quickly as it can, with so many hurdles in its way and the reality of capitalism choking it before it can even make an impact.” Though psilocybin can now be consumed legally across the California border in Oregon, a therapeutic session at the nation’s first licensed psilocybin service center costs $3,400. As of September, more than 3,000 people were on the waitlist. “Our medical system has left many of these people behind,” says Sabina. “We have users quitting alcohol, smoking, and seeing tremendous progress in their mental and physical health.” …she’s not shying away from meeting a market demand, all while being fueled by a desire to “help people” and inspire “personal freedom.” “The government has no right to criminalize or police adult bodies, especially from something that can literally be found growing in nature,” she says.
