“fall ill” is not really on the point. “Got really high and everyone panicked because nobody knew why” is a better way to put it
Can you imagine being in the dark around a bunch of kids around a campfire, and all of a sudden they start tripping? Sounds like a horror movie.
Dude that sounds hilarious and trrrifying
Reminds me of a story.
I was doing some part time work at a gas station during the pandemic and got to know some of the regulars pretty well. One of them was telling me about his mushroom harvest and that he was making THC chocolates. So, he comes in the next day and gives me a chocolate, tells me to have a good time. I had the next day off, so I enjoyed it with my morning coffee, it tasted delightful.
About 45 or so minutes later I’m thinking it was weak shit, as I wasn’t feeling stoney at all. So, I go out for a cigarette and write it off as no big loss, it was free after all. After a few drags I notice the cigarette smoke was a little pink here and there, then I started to notice the tree leaves, and that’s when it hit me that it was a mushroom chocolate. Potent, too. It was all go from that point. Luckily I’m a practiced sailor with plenty of experience sailing those seas.
Recalibrated, played some Saints Row 4, had a great time.
One of the things I really appreciate about Vintage Story is that they’ve added psychedelic mushrooms to the game. It’s not a perfect representation, but it’s not too bad either. Eating random mushrooms is far safer in that game than real life, as inspecting them will tell you if they are deadly or not.
sharing a chocolate bar containing psychedelic mushrooms
Where on earth does one get such a thing? You know, to avoid it.
There are mushroom shops all over Ontario, Canada that sell all sorts of stuff like that as well as DMT pens. They’re not really legal stores but the police generally don’t bother shutting them down
DC, CO, CA and more I’m sure.
I believe the state of Oregon sells mushroom edibles in their weed shops.
Edit: Despite the rebuttal below, the situation is murkier. They do and do not sell them in Oregon. lol
I haven’t seen them in normal dispensaries here, but there are some psilocybin centers advertised on billboards around that might have them.
I see. So they’re not sold in the pot shops, but a separate store dedicated to that type of “medicine”. Thanks for clarifying.
I haven’t visited any of these centers (yet) but I’m sure it’s very similar to how things were when weed was legalized in 2015 where you had dispensaries separated by “medical” and “recreational” even though they were sharing the same building. I know one dispo I recently visited had a psilocybin center in a satellite building next door, so they’ll probably be blended together eventually like the weed dispensaries are now (currently medical patients just don’t have to pay the weed tax at normal dispensaries but they’re otherwise completely integrated these days).
They do not
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!
Edit3: Citing my source: https://www.klcc.org/health-medicine/2025-09-12/oregon-researchers-say-some-magic-mushroom-edibles-sold-in-stores-contain-no-psilocybin
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
Yeah I’ve seen those advertised on Instagram actually lol, I have no idea who would want to take them amanita is not exactly the most recreational of mushrooms but I guess it’s a grey area
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.
Fallen ill, or, got high?
Non-consensually tripping, confused and frightened. Physically affected to the point the adults called 999. EMTs took one to hospital “due to a pre-existing condition,” but it was triggered by consuming the edibles. The others were termed “stable” which is not the same as “fine.” We don’t have much data on how psilocybin affects children’s minds and bodies, although I guess we have a little more now.
Drugged.
Drug: Any substance that, when taken into a living organism, may modify one or more of its functions.
https://www.tabers.com/tabersonline/view/Tabers-Dictionary/736911/all/drugE.G. - acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin), vitamin C, water, oxygen, apples etc.
I.E - we’re all drugged.
EDIT: added apples.
Since we’re being pedantic:
Drugged -
- affected, intoxicated, or stupefied by or as if by a drug or the habitual use of drugs
- containing an illicit intoxicating drug usually added surreptitiously
Not that you really needed the clarification, since you obviously just want to be obnoxious for no real reason.
That’s not a useful definition of drugs and you know it
Tabers was the first proper medical dictionary I found on DDG search. It is one I have a physical copy of on the shelf in the room behind me. I merely copied the definition, and gave examples of substances (“any substance”). U/cattywampus, have I upset some sort of applecart that you were holding onto? I once had a lawyer attempt to impune my credentials in a depostion, by asking if I prescribed drugs. He wouldn’t define the term. In that case it’s best to find an accepted reference, and submit that definition. In the moment I did not, alas. All the same my client won their case. Moral: Don’t let lawyers play word games with you; call them on that immediately and with references.
edited for clarity.
Got a little bit high.
This was my thought. Not saying that there is any justification, but the phrasing is very leading.
Exactly what I was thinking. Bullshit headline. They were just pickled.
Pssh, amateurs.
Oof. Was gonna say my kitchen but I’m out of like everything.
