Mushroom Dispensaries in Canada – Cannabis | weed | marijuana

Are there really ten mushroom dispensaries across Canada?

There is at least one in Montreal. Or there was. Hours after it opened last Tuesday, police raided FunGuyz mushroom dispensary. According to a police spokesman, they arrested four people.

However, a spokesman for the store told the Canadian Press the raid was a “waste of taxpayers’ money” and it expects to open the next day.

This isn’t the first heist FunGuyz has experienced. On July 6, police searched their Windsor, Ontario location.

Edgar Gorbans, co-owner of FunGuyz, told local news: “We are definitely in favor of legalization. We just hope that with these deals we will draw some attention to the issue of psilocybin and the issues associated with access to psilocybin.”

According to Gorban, the Windsor store was back up and running hours after the raid. He says FunGuyz has ten other stores across the country.

The goal is to make medicinal psilocybin available to Canadians.

“We’re just getting started and we’re hoping for word to spread,” he told CTV.

Currently, Canadians only have access to psilocybin, not through a mushroom dispensary, but through the Special Access Program (SAP).

SAP is not without criticism. Long waiting times, bureaucratic hurdles and a low probability of approval frustrate Canadians of all people.

To make matters worse, it’s easier to apply for (and get approved for) MAiD, the state’s suicide program.

Gorban’s civil disobedience is fully justified. The psilocybin buck doesn’t stop at Health Canada. A handful of politicians and bureaucrats have no intrinsic rights over your body.

And if there’s one lesson to be learned from legalizing cannabis, it’s that “illegal” dispensaries work. All power for mushroom dispensaries in Canada.

FunGuyz Mushroom Dispensary in Montreal, Canada offered their customers seven types of 14 and 28 gram bags. Bags of dried mushrooms with names like “African Pyramid” or “Blue Meanie” stood on the shelf.

There was also a microdose option with psilocybin in 50, 100, and 200 micrograms.

People consume psilocybin mushrooms for a variety of reasons, be it recreational or medicinal. It can produce feelings of euphoria and sensory changes that can be psychically pleasurable or helpful.

A landmark study from the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research found that psilocybin is safe and beneficial.

Psilocybin works by activating serotonin receptors. This can affect mood, cognition, and perception. However, “set and setting” applies here.

The ritual use of psilocybin dates back to pre-Columbian Mesoamerican societies. The practice continues to this day.

Recently, doctors have been testing psilocybin as a treatment for depression, end-of-life anxiety, social phobias, and even cluster headaches. While shroom dispensaries are not legal in Canada, you can technically access psilocybin for these ailments.

In fact, every year there is more evidence linking psilocybin-induced hallucinations to positive therapy outcomes.

What’s next for psilocybin in Canada?

Gorban told the news, “We’re trying to provide access to psilocybin, which the government can’t.” He has vowed to launch a constitutional lawsuit.

With the nationwide legalization of cannabis and decriminalized drugs in British Columbia, the continued ban on psilocybin mushrooms makes no sense.

Only religions and cults try to control people’s minds. So-called “liberal” governments should step down. The mind and body of an individual are sovereign.

Mushroom pharmacies in Canada should be as common as Tim Horton’s.
