Malabar

The Malabar strain, a magic mushroom hailing from India, reportedly originated from elephant dung along the southwestern shore. Its namesake, the Malabar Coast, marks its precise origin location.

Indians cultivated this strain in various mediums such as feces, grain, or agar. Known for its prolific growth with minimal assistance, it yielded high amounts of coveted mushrooms.

Despite its abundant growth, the Malabar strain didn’t achieve widespread popularity in the West like the heavily publicized Penis Envy. Instead, it quietly crossed the US border and found its place among users.

However, in historical contexts, this mushroom held a central position in Indian traditional and religious practices, with its name known by many.

Question:
Is it legal to purchase/possess Psilocybe cubensis (aka Magic Mushroom) Syringes in the US?

Answer:
Yes (with some state exceptions: California, Georgia, and Idaho).

The Federal Controlled Substances Act bans the sale or purchase of any substance containing psilocybin (the active ingredient in mature magic mushrooms). This means that psilocybin mushrooms themselves are illegal to cultivate, sell, or trade. The Controlled Substances Act does not make any mention of the spores or mycelium of these mushrooms because:

The spores/immature early-stage mycelium of these mushrooms do not contain any psilocybin.
This is why the sale/purchase/possession of cubensis spores is legal to purchase, sell, trade, or give away in 47 states, while the cultivation of these mushrooms is illegal.

There are some specific state exceptions: California, Georgia, and Idaho have specific state amendments that prohibit the sale or possession of cubensis spores or mycelium, regardless of psilocybin content. That means that we cannot and will not fulfill any orders to California, Georgia, or Idaho that contain any of these products. This is subject to change based on changes in local legislation.
