Australia has recalled two mushroom gummies products that have left several people hospitalized with symptoms such as "disturbing hallucinations" and "persistent vomiting."
In a series of public health warnings, people were cautioned against eating Uncle Frog's Mushroom Gummies, due to reports of consumers "experiencing unexpected toxicity".
*******
I guess Australia is not dangerous enough.
Um... isn't freaking out and talking to God what they're supposedly to do?
Amazing. Make something relatively safe illegal, then be surprised when had actors use grey area substances as a replacement, and wind up with a bad batch.
Same thing has happened here, brand is diamond shroomz.
Instead of the relatively safe, but illegal, psylocibin or psylocin, they use 4 ACO DMT a grey area hallucinogen that IS relatively safe in proper doses, but then, a bad batch got through that nobody did QC or basic analysis on, and now people have kava poisoning. .
Maybe quit trying to make nature illegal?
Don't worry, you can still buy dangerous mushroom candies in the US despite a couple of dozen hospitalizations. The vendor won't tell the FDA what's in them.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Quote text is from a very different forum I will not reveal that broke this news last week when it first got on the radar.
Quick update, further lab tests have shown the presence of 4AcO-DMT, as well as
- dihydrokavain
- kavain
The active kavalactones from Kava.
I still think they got beat with the PDE5 pack that was going around, but it’s possible this could be the source of the problem. Extracted kavalactones have been shown to be hepatotoxic in previously healthy users.
The pde5 pack that is mentioned is the active ingredient in Viagra. One of the supply companies got a bad batch in as 4 ACO DMT, and skipped QC testing.
The company might not tell the FDA directly, but there are more than enough independent labs with chemical standards on hand to do the analysis for them.
While it is technically common knowledge about the research chemical 4 ACO DMT being used as a psylocibin replacement, the sildenafil contamination really never should have happened of anyone actually did their job.
Not defending it, not justifying it, just adding some context from industry people who are loudly against this kind of bullE36 M3 getting through and screwing things up for the people actually trying to play nice with the law.
Yeah, if you read the article I linked you'll see that the FDA has been testing samples to try to figure what's in the stuff. It's not quite like CSI where you put the sample in a special machine and it poops out a readout listing the ingredients, though.
The best way to play nice with the law would be to force supplements to be under FDA oversight like other food and drink and bring some actual rigor to the production process. The manufacturers can't be trusted to self-police, obviously.
