F.D.A. warns against ‘microdosing’ mushroom chocolate bars
Some bars branded as “mushroom” edibles may contain psilacetin, sometimes called c, a compound that produces similar effects to psilocybin, said Dr. Mason Marks, a law professor at Harvard University and Florida State University who specializes in psychedelic regulation.
At least 26 people in 16 states have fallen ill after eating Diamond Shruumz-brand Microdosing Chocolate Bars and other mushroom edibles, including several who had seizures or lost consciousness and needed to be placed on ventilators. People also developed high blood pressure and abnormal heart rates. The Food and Drug Administration has warned people against consuming the brand’s gummies, ice cream cone-shaped edibles and chocolate bars, which are sold online and in smoke shops across the country and come in flavors like birthday cake and cookies and cream.
