    No? I was misinformed then. I am aware of people that do make packaged bars and was told they were sold in OR. If not there, then where?

    Edit: Search results tell me they are legal for medicinal use in Oregon. Not sure where they are acquired though other than black market.

    Edit2: They actually do sell “mushroom” edibles in the shops there. They just might not have any in them.

    “Oregon researchers say several “magic mushroom” products sold on store shelves don’t actually contain any psilocybin.

    Researchers bought 12 so-called “magic mushroom” edibles from convenience stores and smoke shops in Portland, including gummies and chocolates, and then tested their contents.”

    “But when researchers analyzed the edibles, they found no trace of psilocybin. Instead, they detected substances like caffeine, cannabinoids, kava root extract, and candy.”

    The situation seems fuzzy. Legal to use, but not legal to sell. Faux products in the mix as well. The traditional black market seems easier!

      That’s probably what they ate, and no wonder it made them sick, they’re sold online too. That’s the problem with the drug war people will just keep making new stuff that is even more dangerous or unpredictable than the old stuff, it’s a losing battle

        I’ve seen some mushroom edibles for sale in the Midwest USA that contained Amanita extracts

            I haven’t tried Amanita because it sounded unpleasant when I read about it. Feels like they just sell it because people will buy it thinking they’re getting the good mushrooms without bothering to read and understand the label.

              Yeah I had a run in with anticholinergics in high school dabbling with dramamine with my stoner metal head friends lol, I can still see the spiders, so yeah I also have little interest in them besides academically as well. I think you’re right they are just playing on people’s naivete, they see them and think oh the super mario mushroom that’s the one
