While the popularity of Magic Mushroom Tea Canada may be on the rise, the substance is still illegal to possess, purchase or consume in the workplace. As long as this is the case, employers should review their drug and alcohol policies to ensure that the cultivation, production, possession and sale of mushrooms are clearly excluded from workplace activities.

Magic mushrooms, also known as shrooms, contain the drugs psilocybin and psilocin which create psychedelic or hallucinogenic effects when consumed. They can be taken in various ways including chewing on them, drinking a tea that contains them or consuming the extract of them.

Magic Mushroom Tea in Canada: Where to Buy and What to Expect

Several companies, such as Hey Sero, have begun to market the mushroom extracts in a variety of teas. They claim their products offer benefits such as “harmonize your longevity, energy and spirit” and promise to deliver a “life-changing experience”. Other companies are selling mushroom powders that can be mixed with water or into smoothies to achieve the same effect. They include brands like Om Mushrooms, which boasts of its anti-aging properties and is featured on Gwyneth Paltrow’s cult site Moon Juice.

While the fungus hasn’t been proven to treat any medical conditions, psilocybin is showing promise in treating certain mental health disorders, including PTSD and depression. It is also used in a type of psychotherapy called psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy. The treatment is only available to a small number of health-care professionals who have the proper training and licence. Other conditions that are being treated using this drug include anxiety, phobias and cluster headaches.
