95. What’s Really in Your Mushroom Bar? The Truth About Psilocybin Product Safety
What if your “mushroom chocolate” has no mushrooms at all? In this eye-opening episode, April Pride continues her conversation with Joe Robinson, founder of PsiloSafe, to unpack the chaotic world of unregulated psychedelics. They dive deep into psilocybin product safety, how to find a trustworthy facilitator, and why synthetic alternatives like 4-ACO-DMT are complicating the therapeutic landscape. Whether you're sourcing for a therapeutic journey or just trying to avoid a gas station gummy trip gone wrong, this episode brings clear, grounded advice on navigating the modern mushroom marketplace.
