Psychedelic Mushroom Chocolate Bars
Psychedelic mushroom chocolate bars are an edible treat that combine the euphoria of psilocybin and a good dose of chocolate. It’s a relatively new way to consume the hallucinogenic mushrooms that have been used for thousands of years.
Despite the popularity of these edibles, it is possible that they are illegal in some parts of the world. In fact, psychedelic mushroom chocolates have even been confiscated by police in Florida.
The arrest of a Winter Haven man for making homemade psychedelic mushroom chocolate bars last month prompted authorities to warn residents about the dangers of this type of food. Bolanos, 32, was found to have 19 psychedelic mushroom chocolate bars along with chocolate bar molds, marijuana and a AR-15 style rifle.
How to make psychedelic mushroom chocolate
To create your own psilocybin-infused chocolate, first start by cutting or grinding some psilocybin mushrooms into small pieces. You can use a sharp knife or coffee grinder to do this. The smaller the pieces are, the better. Place them in a glass or metal bowl and pour some water into the bottom of the bowl to create a DIY bain-marie.
Bring the water to a boil and then lower it to a simmer. As the water heats, the steam will help to melt the mushroom-chocolate mixture. Then, stir it gently with a spoon or heatproof spatula. You can also chill it in a pan with ice water to speed up the process.
Once the melted chocolate is ready, you can then add your psychedelic mushrooms to the mix. The most common mushrooms that are used for this purpose are Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi and Chaga.
How to store your psilocybin-infused mushroom chocolate
The best way to store your chocolate is in an airtight container. A glass Snap-Ware container will work well, and you can place it in the fridge or freezer to keep it fresh. It’s also a great idea to line the container with waxed paper to prevent the sugar from coating it.
If you’re making these at home, you should be able to store them for a year or more. But it’s important to be careful because if the chocolate gets cooled, it can form what is called “chocolate bloom.” This is when the sugar in the chocolate comes to the surface, which can be dangerous.
When it comes to storing psychedelic mushroom chocolate, it’s important to remember that psilocybin breaks down at temperatures below 70degC. So whenever you’re making a tea or any other beverage, it’s important to ensure that the temperature isn’t too high when you’re adding your mushrooms.
Another option is to place your chocolate in a bowl that has a lid and then cover it with a plastic wrap or foil. This will prevent the chocolate from cooling too much and can help to preserve its psychedelic properties.
Whether you’re a novice or an experienced user, making your own psilocybin-infused mushrooms is a fantastic way to get more psychedelic experiences. In addition, it’s a much more discreet way to enjoy the mushrooms than purchasing them at a drugstore.psychedelic mushroom chocolate bars
