Quality brands emerge in the legacy mushroom market

This isn't a research article ... or maybe it is, but it's a 'personal research' type piece where the experienced writer discusses other ways to take psilocybin, for example in chocolate or sweets. They write: "As the founder of a platform dedicated to covering the global mushroom industry in its many facets, both above ground and underground, I’ve had a chance to sample numerous legacy mushroom market products, ranging from psilocybin-infused chocolate to jerky to gummies to honey to water-soluble drink packets to liquor to marshmallows and more. In the spirit of harm reduction, education, and providing some context for the elusive and nebulous legacy mushroom market, I’ll review a few of the many branded products now floating around. I’m not endorsing people who break the law. Nor do I encourage the use of these products by those seeking mushrooms for the first time and who haven’t done their own research, as well as consulting trusted friends, family, and/or medical professionals.  I should also mention that I’m an experienced psychonaut and that I’ve developed sensible guard rails and best practices to guide my own consumption of psilocybin mushrooms. For instance, I carefully prepare my set and setting in advance, make sure to have plenty of water on hand, and notify a trusted confidant beforehand that I’ll be consuming mushrooms and share my exact location."
