Online Mushroom Dispensary new type of dispensary is selling mushrooms in gummies, teas and more — even though psilocybin, the hallucinogen found in magic mushrooms, is still illegal. These mushroom edibles are popping up in cities across the country, filling a gap left by cannabis retailers that have expanded rapidly since pot was decriminalized. But the expansion of these shops may come with risks for the public, one expert says.
The Online Mushroom Dispensary is a spinoff of Nothing But Hemp, a store in northeast Minneapolis that sells hemp-derived products. The new owners, who are still working out the kinks of the business, want to target customers between the ages of 35 and 60 who are interested in the potential health benefits of mushroom products. They say cordyceps might boost energy, lion’s mane could reduce inflammation and turkey tail might help with cancer. The company is also planning to offer a guided mushroom experience, similar to what Ryan offers.

But the owners don’t plan to sell psilocybin, which is considered Schedule I, a drug with no known medical use and a high potential for abuse. Instead, they are trying to take advantage of a law that removed criminal penalties for growing, possession and “sharing” mushrooms last year in Colorado. They hope to lure people with claims that their products can lead to a range of experiences, from the mild — a boost in focus, for instance — to the psychedelic, which they describe as a journey to another world.
