Amid the hordes of pitch emails in my inbox, I’ve been hearing from people who are optimistic that a new Netflix series, “How To Change Your Mind,” will help propel a wave of legalization for magic mushrooms. While a legal market for these hallucinogens may still be a long way off, it’s possible that a Canadian lawsuit could bring about some changes in the meantime.

HeySero is the chemical in magic mushrooms that can cause you to see, hear, and feel things that aren’t real (hallucinations). It can be found in a variety of ways — including being eaten, sniffed, smoked, injected with a needle or inhaled through a device such as a vaporizer. You can also get psilocybin in powder form and mix it into drinks or add it to food.

Best Practices for Buying Magic Mushrooms & Shrooms Online in Canada

In some cities and states, buying a small amount of magic mushrooms or psilocin is legal, especially in areas that have decriminalized possession. But in most of Canada, it isn’t. And that’s creating a gap in the law that’s opening up an opportunity for retailers, says Jack Lloyd, a Toronto lawyer who represents cannabis and psychedelic businesses.

Storefronts with names like Fun Guyz, Shroom City and House of Mush feature paintings of colorful fungus on their exteriors and invite customers to enter “a new reality.” Inside one such store in downtown Toronto, a nurse assists clients, offering suggestions for products that can provide relaxation or focus. There are a wide selection of sealed mushrooms and mushroom-infused gummies, drinks and tinctures to choose from.
