Magic Mushrooms and Why Your Local Dispensary Does Not Carry Them
Curious about “magic mushrooms” and why you can’t find them at your local cannabis dispensary in Santa Ana? You’re not alone, we get this question more often than you think. With the rise of interest in psychedelics and mental health, psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) is a hot topic. But despite the headlines, psilocybin mushrooms are still illegal for sale in California, and that includes all licensed dispensaries like Tropicanna.
Psilocybin Is Still a Controlled Substance
While some cities in California (like Oakland and San Francisco) have decriminalized possession or personal use of psilocybin, that doesn’t mean it’s legal to sell, and it’s certainly not allowed in state-regulated cannabis dispensaries. In fact, psilocybin is still considered a Schedule I controlled substance under both federal and California law.
That means:
- Licensed dispensaries cannot carry or sell psychedelic mushrooms
- Any attempt to do so would violate state cannabis licensing rules
- There is no legal framework for mushroom cultivation or retail in CA
At Tropicanna, we follow all local, county, and state laws to the letter. We do not, and will not, sell psilocybin or any unregulated psychedelic substances.
What’s the Deal with the Mushroom Buzz?
A lot of people are turning to mushrooms these days, whether it’s curiosity around psychedelic therapy or a new wave of functional mushroom products (think Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps). While some health shops carry non-psychoactive mushroom supplements, they’re not the same thing as magic mushrooms.
