The buying psilocybin mushrooms online  occurs naturally in magic mushrooms. It’s a popular drug for people who want to elevate their mood and experience other effects that research suggests can help with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other problems. Some people even report that it helps them deal with trauma, although other researchers warn that psychedelics can trigger hallucinations that could be frightening or traumatizing.

While it’s legal for adults over 21 to possess magic mushrooms and other psychedelic substances, the law in most states prevents them from selling or purchasing them. This has left a gray market of psilocybin mushroom sellers who sell through the Internet. In some cases, these sellers are careful to represent their products as safe and ethical. In other cases, they’re out to scam unsuspecting customers.

Navigating the Online Psychedelic Market: Where to Safely Buy Psilocybin Mushrooms

Some psilocybin mushroom sellers offer online “spore kits” that contain spores that can be used to cultivate a crop of mushrooms. This is illegal under federal law because it’s considered conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and aiding and abetting the commission of a crime.

The spores that are sold can be extracted from actual mushrooms or they can be purchased separately in the form of a spore syringe or a spore print. A syringe contains just the spores and water; it’s a way for people to avoid being caught breaking the law. Spore prints are pieces of paper with wavy cap spores stamped on them and can be rehydrated for use.
