Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.
Smart man
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.
I would also take your gourmet shrooms over any chocolate bar, for what it's worth
And I generally give them away, so it would even be a cheaper option.
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.
