The FDA is investigating Diamond Shruumz's microdose psychedelic candies linked to illnesses in 20 states.

The US Food and Drug Administration tested a microdose psychedelic candy, which has supposedly caused a plethora of illnesses across 20 states.

Muscimol, a chemical found in mushrooms of the genus Amanita was the reason behind the products being recalled. The patients reported consistent symptoms of illness after consuming the products of Diamond Shruumz.that there have been cases of symptoms in patients like seizures, agitation, involuntary muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, abnormal heart rates, and hyper/hypotension.

The CDC notes that ingesting kava could cause numbness in the mouth and skin, also causing loss of coordination, dizziness and sedation. “Ingestion of kava with other substances known to cause sedation, such as benzodiazepines or alcohol, can worsen sedation. Kava can also cause gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and vomiting” it said. Psychedelic drugs are no longer limited to the past. As of now, drugs like LSD and magic mushrooms have been in vogue.
