Flying in the face of mushroom dispensary toronto , a chain of illegal brick-and-mortar magic mushroom stores has expanded into smaller communities around Ontario. Those locations are owned by FunGuyz, an entity that runs at least 13 dispensaries in Canada and one in Detroit. A spokesperson for the company says the next locations are likely to be in Sarnia, Strathroy, and other smaller towns in southwestern Ontario.

The shops sell mushrooms and psilocybin-infused gummies, drinks, and tinctures. They are gaining popularity as more people discover the therapeutic effects of mushrooms and micro-dosing. Mushrooms have been used in a variety of ways for centuries to treat everything from depression and anxiety to pain, trauma, and eating disorders. The psychedelics are also currently being studied for their potential in treating conditions like PTSD and addiction.

One expert, however, says the recent push for magic mushroom dispensaries isn’t indicative of legalization on the horizon. He says the latest raids in Windsor, London and Brantford are just more evidence that psilocybin remains Schedule III drugs.

In the meantime, mushroom lovers can still buy psilocybin-infused products at online stores that offer discreet deliveries and same-day service for a small fee. The sites also have the added benefit of being able to provide detailed information about different mushroom strains and dosages. A growing body of research shows that consuming very low “sub-hallucinogenic” doses of mushrooms can provide positive mood changes, increased energy levels and better memory recall. However, the experts say that it is crucial to have a strong support network in place and be prepared for possible side effects of micro-dosing.
