A staple of neighborhoods for meats, fresh vegetables and more – will California add in marijuana?
About 12% of people browse and potentially shop a Farmer’s Market on a regular basis. Usually they are pop-ups in a neighborhood with everything from local meat and fresh vegetables to vintage clothing and handcrafted products. Now the question is will California let marijuana be sold at farmers markets? A bill is going through the state legislature to allow small batch farmers and producers to sell at these venues. It could be an another step in fixing the chaos around their cannabis market.
The California cannabis industry has been struggling. With high taxes from state, regional and local governments, the businesses are burdened with high operational costs. Additionally, the state has done little or nothing to reduce the black market. This has lead some companies have gone under. Despite consumer use growing. While there has been lots of talk, this is one of the first major action. When legalization first started sweeping the country, California was the largest market. But with New York slowly getting their act together after chaotic rollout of recreational, they may lose out of being the top market.
This summer, the state legislature developed a bill to allow small producers to sell at local markets. This would be give some of the mom and pop more opportunity to reach consumers. They would only be allowed to see at markets in places like San Francisco where cannabis events are allowed by local governments. It would also cut overhead and the purchase price for customers, potentially reducing the huge black market in the state. The bill was forwarded to Governor Newsom, who is pondering whether or not to sign it and make it possible.
Governor Newson is a seasoned politician who is always looking to the future. This could be the first step in helping a popular, and for the state, profitable industry. Newsom was elected governor of California in 2018 and has stewarded the government’s action toward the industry, this could help provide some much needed relief.
Recently, the U.S. has seen a troubling rise in cases involving muscimol-infused edibles, particularly those made from the Amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as the “fly agaric.” These incidents might have led to two deaths and dozens of hospitalizations, raising concerns about the safety of using this psychoactive compound in food products. Unlike psilocybin, which has gained attention for its therapeutic potential, muscimo – found in Amanita muscari – might carry significant risks, particularly when consumed in unregulated, edible forms.
Psychoactive sweets gone wrong: how Muscimol-infused edibles led to fatalities
The Toxicology of Muscimol
Muscimol is the primary psychoactive compound in Amanita muscaria. It functions by interacting with GABA-A receptors in the brain, which regulate inhibitory neurotransmission. Muscimol’s effects can include:
Sedation
Hallucinations
Delirium
Drowsiness
By enhancing the brain’s inhibitory functions, muscimol slows down neural activity, leading to a trance-like or dissociative state. The experience differs greatly from the effects of psilocybin, the psychoactive compound found in other types of mushrooms, which primarily affect serotonin receptors and result in more classically psychedelic experiences, including euphoria, enhanced perception, and emotional introspection. Muscimol, in contrast, is known for its unpredictability and often uncomfortable, dissociative effects.
The Dangers of Muscimol in Edibles
The recent deaths and illnesses linked to muscimol-infused sweets highlight the dangers of consuming unregulated psychoactive compounds in edible form. Edibles present unique risks, particularly when it comes to dosing and delayed effects:
Unpredictable Dosing: It can be difficult to accurately dose muscimol when it is infused into sweets or other edible products. The variability in concentration means users may unknowingly ingest far more than they intend, increasing the risk of overdose.
Delayed Onset: Muscimol can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to produce noticeable effects. This slow onset may lead users to consume additional sweets, assuming the dose is too low, which can result in a dangerous overdose.
Toxicity Risks: While Amanita muscaria is not as deadly as some other mushrooms (such as the highly toxic Amanita phalloides, or “death cap”), it is still considered toxic. Symptoms of muscimol poisoning can include confusion, seizures, agitation, and coma, especially when consumed in large amounts.
Amanita muscaria: A Psychoactive but Toxic Mushroom
Amanita muscaria, with its distinctive red cap and white spots, has a long history in folklore and traditional practices. However, its use is often steeped in cultural rituals rather than recreational use. Unlike psilocybin-containing mushrooms, which are being studied for their potential therapeutic benefits in treating mental health conditions, Amanita muscaria and muscimol remain more dangerous due to the potential for poisoning.
In many cases, muscimol intoxication is followed by episodes of intense sedation, hallucinations, confusion, and delirium. While these effects may appeal to some seeking altered states of consciousness, the risks far outweigh the benefits, especially when muscimol is consumed in an uncontrolled manner, such as through sweets or edibles.
FDA Warnings and Public Health Concerns
The recent surge in poisonings has caught the attention of health authorities like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and public health agencies, who have issued warnings about the potential dangers of muscimol-infused products. Unlike the well-regulated prescription drug market, where dosing is strictly controlled, the use of muscimol in sweets often occurs outside of regulatory oversight.
The lack of standardized dosing guidelines for muscimol, combined with its delayed onset and toxic potential, makes it particularly dangerous when incorporated into edible products. The result has been dozens of poisonings, as well as two deaths, emphasizing the urgent need for stricter regulations around these products.
Why Muscimol is Riskier than Psilocybin
While psilocybin mushrooms have attracted significant interest for their potential therapeutic benefits in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, muscimol has not garnered the same positive attention. In fact, the unpredictable nature of muscimol’s effects makes it a less desirable choice for both recreational and therapeutic use. Some key differences include:
Effect Unpredictability: Muscimol’s psychoactive effects are less consistent than psilocybin’s, with users often experiencing wildly different outcomes, ranging from intense hallucinations to uncomfortable delirium.
Toxicity: Muscimol has a narrow therapeutic window, meaning that the difference between a dose that causes psychoactive effects and one that leads to poisoning is small. This makes it difficult to use safely, especially without professional guidance.
Limited Medical Research: While psilocybin has been extensively studied for its therapeutic potential, muscimol has received far less attention from the medical community, and its use remains controversial due to its toxicity and unpredictable effects.

Health Risks of Unregulated Psychoactive Edibles
The cases of muscimol poisoning highlight the broader risks of consuming unregulated psychoactive substances in edible form. Unlike traditional forms of mushroom consumption, such as teas or raw ingestion, sweets and other edibles mask the potent taste and effects of these compounds, making it easier to consume dangerous amounts unknowingly.
The increasing availability of psychoactive mushroom edibles, coupled with their often playful or benign appearance, makes them especially risky. For individuals unfamiliar with the potency of muscimol, these products may seem harmless, leading to unintentional overdoses and serious health consequences.
Conclusion
The recent deaths and illnesses linked to muscimol-infused sweets underscore the dangers of unregulated consumption of psychoactive compounds. While mushrooms like Amanita muscaria have a long history of cultural use, the psychoactive compound muscimol presents significant risks when consumed in uncontrolled settings, especially in edible form. With the potential for overdose, toxicity, and unpredictable effects, public health officials are warning against the use of muscimol-infused products. Stricter regulations and public education are necessary to prevent further incidents, particularly as psychoactive edibles continue to grow in popularity.
Now that summer’s officially in full swing, it’s time to enjoy these long warm evenings with some backyard fun—and what could be more fun than getting high with some of your friends while enjoying a great meal? But while we’ve all grown up with the idea of a backyard cookout as a place for crushing some burgers and beers, what might a cannabis barbecue look like instead?
