We do know why! (Terrible headline...)
These weren't psilocin/psilocybin edibles made from natural psychedelic mushrooms. These chocolates contained synthetic tryptamines[0] (related chemicals to psilocin/psilocybin) such as 4-AcO-DMT, with poor quality control of doses/concentrations.
This is a direct result of patchwork prohibition laws. If psilocin/psilocybin were legal nationwide and well-regulated, it could be provided in a variety of forms with high purity, real quality control guarantees, and accessible independent third-party testing.

- janderland 2y agoRegulation is part of the problem. I haven’t seen any evidence that 4-aco-dmt is any more dangerous than psilocybin, so regulating either drug would work just as effective IMO.
