    Is this new? It seems like this sort of thing has been going on for a while. A lot of the products are incorrectly labelled as containing amanita muscaria, but contain cannabinoids such as Δ8-THC and/or Δ9-THC and/or 4-substituted N,N-dimethyltryptamine derivatives, such as 4-AcO-DMT and sometimes psilocybin and psilocin themselves, in spite of their status as schedule I controlled substances.

    The lack of labeling enforcement is really a problem. Genuine amanita muscaria mushrooms are a lot more like alcohol than psilocybin in terms of effects, and if you didn't know better, you could easily take a few to relax at the end of a stressful day and end up freaking out instead.
