FDA alert: 8 people in 4 states sickened by Diamond Shruumz Microdosing Bars

yeah i mean it’s kinda both. qualitatively it surely isn’t any different from Psilocin and thus should be treated the same

Dishonesty in packaging is the fault of the War on Drugs. If they could put what exactly was in it, they would.

Problem with someone like Diamond is that even if they had put on the package what was in it, it still wouldn’t have solved the actual problem, which is that they didn’t test their input before putting into mass production.

Tried 4-acho-DMT and didn’t like the effect. Much too strong of onset.

1st step, convincing manufacturers the cost/benefit of testing input and output products
second step, convincing manufacturers to label products honestly
third step, enable consumers to verify their drugs before using (home test kits)

Most manufacturers do understand the benefits of doing it. Which is why there are still several other popular brands out there producing the same product that don’t have these problems.

Point 2 is covered above.

Home test kits do exist and are available but aren’t accurate enough to be able to accurately identify a compound. The best you get is “Yes, there is a tryptamine in here, or No, no tryptamines”

Yeah in a product like a chocolate or really any sort of packaged pre-dosed form, it’s trivial for the manufacturer to hide the results of reagent tests with food dye or something similar to make their lie work. You’ll get a muddled “that’s a tryptamine” response and little else. Reagent tests are good when the source/adversary is working in good faith to provide you with something pure and not meant by design to deceive you

Edit: not sure if I’ll be able to find the test, but I recall there was fake RC lysergamides made to mock up the popular 1P-LSD etc, but the active was actually a potent synthetic cannabinoid and the tab had a trivial amount of some other sort of indole to set off the correct reaction with Erlich’s reagent

I don’t have enough test labs to confirm it, but I tested a popular “Mushroom Vape” by a company that makes a couple different examples with various purported “actives”.

It found 0 tryptamines, just CP47,497. One of the OG synthetic cannabinoids

was it exodus, dozo, or trehouse? lol

Ehh, I don’t really want to say who it is because if they have a valid way to e-
xplain what the active ingredient is then it would probably be
okay. Like I said, I only have test results from one lab, but it was both their 1.0 and 2.0 formulations

Today belongs to dissecting this FDA report.

Acetyl psilocin? That was the big hidden transformation? That’s why people are saying this isn’t illegal?

Is Kava killing your kids? More at 11.

Pregabalin, a prescription drug, was found in three (3) Chocolate Bar samples

:thinking:

None of the pregabalin ones listed on the FDA page show muscimol

They didn’t test for that (?)

I’m wrong ignore me.

Edit: Check out this acetylated psilocybin wrapper: warring mushrooms

I feel like if you buy a product with packaging like this you can at least expect to be cautious that things aren’t going to be above board.

With Diamond Shruumz, the nice fancy packaging with nice marketing language makes people trust it more, when it reality the quality of ingredients are probably the same between the two.
