Drug is defined in the Food and Drug Act asany substance or mixture of substances manufactured, sold or represented for use in If spores were captured by the Food and Drug Act then it would be prohibited pursuant to the Food and Drug Act to sell them under any circumstances.
It is also assumed for the purposes of this article that spores do not have any medicinal effects and so they do not fall into the drug definition in the Food and Drug Act. For the purpose of this article, we are assuming that spores do not contain psilocybin. It is possible, however unlikely, that some traces of psilocybin may be found in some spores. While psilocybin is a prohibited substance under the CDSA, psilocybin mushroom spores generally do not contain psilocybin, as this substance is produced in the fruiting body.

Increase of scientific research on the potential health benefits of psilocybin, however, is slowly changing the status quo, moving it, hopeful, toward a more flexible regulatory regime, but this is something that we are yet to see.īecause psilocybin occurs naturally in some mushrooms, producing psilocybin is not rocket science all one needs to produce psilocybin mushrooms is knowledge of how to grow mushrooms, and psilocybin mushroom spores. Nevertheless, in spite of psilocybin’s extremely promising therapeutical uses, it still is a prohibited substance. Psilocybin is also promising in the treatment of tobacco and alcohol addictions. Even patients with treatment-resisted depression experienced reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety three months after being administered psilocybin. In the context of patients with cancer-related psychiatric distress, administration of psilocybin has been found to decrease symptoms of depression, anxiety and death anxiety, along with increases in quality of life, life meaning and optimism, with long-lasting and sustained effects. It can also relieve symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and can be used to treat cluster headaches. In psychotherapy, psilocybin is a powerful tool to facilitate the recall of salient memories or to reverse negative cognitive biases. Psilocybin has been found to be a very efficacious and potent antidepressant substance, with rapid, large and sustained antidepressant effects when administered to patients with major depressive disorders. Psilocybin’s most important use, however, is not its recreational use, but it’s medicinal use.
These facts make psilocybin (in the form of “magic mushrooms”) a not-so-difficult substance to be found in the black market. It can be found in nature in the form of mushrooms, and is not too difficult to produce if one knows how to grow psilocybin mushrooms. It means that there can be severe legal implications to any activities around psilocybin, such as possession, sale, transportation, etc., of that substance.ĭespite psilocybin’s complex and extremely regulated legal status, it is one of the oldest known and most used recreational substance in the world. Psilocybin is a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (“ CDSA”) Schedule III substance and it is also in Schedule J to the Food and Drug Regulations (“ FDR”). Psilocybin is a substance found in certain types of mushrooms, known as psilocybin mushrooms or “magic mushrooms.” It is a psychedelic substance with chemical structure similar to that of neurotransmitter serotonin.
