In Fairfield County, Connecticut, a private home has a basement with a humidified “fruiting chamber” where psilocybin mushrooms are grown. These mushrooms, also known as “magic mushrooms,” have shown potential in treating mental health conditions such as anxiety, anorexia, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and substance abuse. Studies suggest that psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, which is the rewiring of the brain to provide patients with new perspectives on long-standing psychiatric issues.
While psilocybin is classified as a Schedule 1 substance in the U.S., making it illegal federally, many municipalities in the United States and the state of Colorado have moved to decriminalize it locally. Oregon has even legalized the adult use of mushrooms within regulated “psilocybin service centers.” However, this move by Prophet Premium Blends to recall its Diamond Shruumz-infused cones, chocolate bars, and gummies due to muscimol contamination has caused concern among consumers who purchased these products. This compound can lead to seizures, loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, abnormal heart rates, involuntary muscle contractions and agitation.
Thirty-nine illnesses linked to the consumption of Diamond Shruumz products have been reported across 20 different states. Consumers who have purchased these products are advised to dispose of them immediately and contact Prophet Premium Blends with their order number to request a refund. It is important for consumers to be aware of the potential dangers posed by consuming unregulated mushroom products and only purchase from reputable sources that adhere to strict safety standards.
