Hyphae Labs is at the forefront of psychedelic research, committed to providing accurate, science-backed insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of psychedelics. In this presentation, we will delve into a recent study, which involved testing a variety of mushroom chocolates obtained from smoke shops across the country. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the legitimacy of these products and their implications on consumer safety, industry regulation, and policy development both domestically and internationally. As these products gain traction, particularly in areas with relaxed regulatory environments, questions arise about their safety, authenticity, and potency. Hyphae Labs conducted a comprehensive analysis, collecting samples from various smoke shops to test for the presence of psilocybin, psilocin, and other compounds typically found in psychedelic mushrooms.
