CDPH: Don't Eat This Brand of 'Magic Mushroom' Gummies, Chocolates and Syrups | KQED

"The California Department of Public Health on Thursday warned residents not to use a line of "magic mushroom" products sold online and at smoke shops throughout the state, which they've determined contain illegal and dangerous psychedelic compounds. While psychedelics have been decriminalized in two states and some California cities, and there's growing momentum to widen medical and recreational use, so-called "magic mushrooms," and their synthetic variants, remain illegal."

"TRE House's line of mushroom products, which they say "may cause psychotropic effects," contain a "Magic Mushroom Microdose Blend" and "Proprietary Nootropic Mushroom Blend." The ingredients listed online for its magic mushroom gummies don't include psychedelics, but include a form of gabapentin, along with a variety of mushrooms that could be found in most health food stores, like lion's mane, chaga and cordyceps."

"Officials said that no illnesses associated with the products have been reported, but that "individuals looking for psychedelic mushroom products for therapeutic effects run the risk of serious or life-threatening illness." The packaging of the products as syrups and sweets could also be dangerous for children, who might view them as regular candies and chocolates, according to CDPH."

TRE House's products are labeled as containing a "Magic Mushroom Microdose Blend" and a "Proprietary Nootropic Mushroom Blend" but ingredient lists omit psychedelics and include a form of gabapentin plus non-psychedelic mushrooms such as lion's mane, chaga and cordyceps. No illnesses have been reported, but officials warned that individuals seeking psychedelic effects risk serious or life-threatening illness. Packaging as syrups and sweets increases the risk of accidental ingestion by children.
