Psilocybin chocolates are a great way to consume the substance, but they are a bad f'n idea in my opinion. A lot of the people that get a hold of them are not always in a vigilant state, and one of these could easily get into the hands of a child. They just look like a normal chocolate.

It’s not really any different from cannabis though, right? Unlike cannabis, you can’t smoke it, so ingestion is an obvious choice. I suppose pills could be an answer but kids eat pills all the time too. Granted, perhaps less enticing than chocolates but still a problem. The better option would be to forgo purchase of these substances until you're ready to consume them. Legalization makes this a reality. I could go to the store, buy the drugs, then drive straight home and consume them in a safe environment. The prohibition we have currently is what tempts people to stock up all at once and ultimately leads to higher risks for children finding/consuming them while mommy and daddy are at work.

  I'm not suggesting a prohibition of psilocybin whether in chocolate or not. I'm only saying that the delivery mechanism is a bit irresponsible, kinda like strawberry nicotine vapes. Should not be illegal though.

    Those fancy looking craft beer cans certainly remind me of soda.

  Psilocybin is quite different from cannabis!

    Definitely, I meant that they were similar in regards to packaging, marketing, and distribution in our quasi-legal current system.

Very "but think of the children!" sort of argument against the countless things that should be kept away from children, including vitamins, medicine, cleaning products, and sharp objects. Yeah, thanks, keep the drugged candy away from kids. We know.

With cannabis, in states that legalized it in edible form, there are usually fairly stringent "child proof" packaging requirements such that it's not something you can just unwrap or tear.
