The Psychedelic Chocolate of mixing hallucinogenic mushrooms with chocolate is growing in popularity. Psychedelic chocolate is typically made with magic mushrooms, which contain the drug psilocybin, and is being marketed as a natural way to improve mental health and reduce anxiety. While consuming mushroom-infused chocolate is considered to be less dangerous than smoking or taking illicit drugs, psychedelic chocolate still comes with a number of risks and can have devastating consequences for people who abuse it.

Many of the mushroom chocolate bars sold online and in stores are illegal, and it can be difficult to know whether you’re purchasing a legitimate product. The Polkadot brand of psilocybin-infused chocolate is one of the most popular and commonly available, but knockoff versions are also found for sale in bulk on Amazon and other places alongside foil wrapping and chocolate molds. These psychedelic chocolate bars are said to provide a low dose of the drug with effects that vary depending on how much you eat. A single piece is a microdose that can help reduce stress and depression, while ten to 15 pieces is said to bring about a more therapeutic “mindful and elevated euphoria.”
