There is more and more focus on magic mushrooms, especially since new studies revealed their potential in treating various mental diseases (depression, anxiety, alcohol addiction etc.). They seem to undergo a quite spectacular transformation, from recreational drugs to promising medical treatments.

However, magic mushrooms remain illegal, at least for now, which makes the research more difficult. The scientific interest already generated a growing social acceptance, and is currently contributing to legal changes in states and cities across the U.S. The decriminalization process has begun, but there is still quite a long way to go until we will be able to talk about legality.

In the meantime, scientific research can be legally done on spores and laboratory grade mushrooms. Spores are legal because they do not contain the hallucinogenic substance – psylocibin – that is actually banned; it appears only in later development stages of the mushroom.

So, if you are a passionate mycologist, in order to avoid legal trouble, you should purchase spores from a reputable manufacturer like Sacred Mushroom Spores. Thus, not only can you be sure that the spores you buy have not passed into other stages of development, which would turn them into illegal products, but also that they are viable, uncontaminated by bacteria or mold.
