Magic mushroom-infused products appear in Colorado gas stations (theconversation.com)

Public health officials in Denver and Colorado removed PolkaDot-branded “magic mushroom” chocolate and gummy products from multiple retailers after laboratory tests found illegal hallucinogenic ingredients such as psilocybin/psilocin and synthetic tryptamines. The article describes how the products were mislabeled as non-hallucinogenic “mushroom blends,” discusses gaps in oversight that allow spiked items to reach gas stations, and notes that Colorado decriminalized personal possession and cultivation but still prohibits retail sales. Officials say the safest approach is to avoid these “mystery bars” and report sightings, while enforcement actions can include license loss and other penalties.
