    Second, really really shitty of the article to imply these bars have cannabis or psilocybin

    Do they imply that? Doesn’t seem like it to me. They quote the website where the company says

    The website also contains reports of laboratory analyses on their products, some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

    Then they say the company did not respond to a request for comment before press.

    Dr. Beth Mole does good reporting (you can look at her past articles about Covid, for example), it seems there is limited information about this currently.

      I already quoted that fully. Just because they have “articles” about thlse substances, does not make them relevant here. No where does she clarify that these products do not contain psilocybin. The article is misleading at best. The author is a human subject to bias and error like anyone.

        I never said they had articles about these substances. Please feel free to re read my comment.

        No where does she clarify that these products do not contain psilocybin.

        That is correct, I will take a guess that’s because no one knows what is in them. The company did not comment, there does not seem to be any other information.

        When someone does an analysis they will know. Why would a credible reporter say ‘it does not contain psilocybin’ if they don’t know and have no way to verify?

          I used “articles” as a synonym to the word “reports” in the quoted text.

          The company’s literal website (linked in the article) has an FAQ that states this, which is where I got the info. The author should’ve done better. She should’ve stated that psilocybin isn’t in the original recipe.

          Further, read this thread. There are numerous comments from users who are confused what these bars are made of. Doesn’t seem like good reporting to me.

            Am I having a stroke or are you?

            indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

            The article says that the tests say there is no psilocybin.

              some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

              ‘Some of which’ sounds like perhaps some reports indicated the presence.

              Let’s agree to disagree. There are clearly numerous people itt “having a stroke” because they all thought these mushrooms were psychoactive after reading the article. That’s bad writing. It’s a bad piece. It is what it is. We don’t all do our best work on everything. But if she’s supposed to be informing us, she failed.

                I take it more that the company is opaque about what is in them, so no one really knows.

                They seem to be trying to say ‘hey bro, we got the good shit, he he,’ , but it turns out it’s oregano and hemlock.
