EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Wind chimes, tie-dye mattresses, and Prism Tea with Magic Mushrooms await those who sign up to trip on magic mushrooms at the nation’s first licensed facility dedicated to this mind-bending drug. A few days after Oregon voters made the psychedelic plant-based drug legal, the owner of Epic Healing Eugene says they’re getting hundreds of applications from people dealing with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and end-of-life dread.
What Is Prism Tea with Magic Mushrooms? A Beginner’s Guide
The Oregon facility is among many that have popped up across the country in the past few months since voters passed a law allowing people 21 and older to buy and consume mushroom-based drugs. They’re billed as helping ease the pain of chronic illness, anxiety, depression and PTSD, as well as alleviating symptoms related to addiction and aging. Some are also marketed as an aid in the quest for spirituality, wellness and healing.
Mushrooms contain psilocybin and psilocin, which create psychedelic or hallucinogenic effects when consumed. But they can also cause negative side effects, including vomiting, panic attacks, disorientation and confusion, bladder spasms, elevated heart rate, tremors and increased blood pressure.
But there are plenty of other ways to get a mind-bending dose. MudWtr sells a variety of mushroom-infused drinks, from elixirs claiming to boost energy and mental clarity to those infused with “heart-opening” properties. And on Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website, Moon Juice offers Brain Dust — described as an “edible intelligence” that can combat stress and “align you with the cosmic flow for great achievement.”
