It’s not entirely clear what is in the chocolates or what could be causing the illnesses. The FDA said it was working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as America’s Poison Centers to “determine the cause of these illnesses and is considering the appropriate next steps.”

On its website, Diamond Shruumz says that its chocolate bars contain a “primo proprietary blend of nootropic and functional mushrooms.” The website also contains reports of laboratory analyses on their products, some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

My guess is that they accidentally grew/used the wrong type of mushroom. PCR tests on the bars will tell us for sure.

Second, really really shitty of the article to imply these bars have cannabis or psilocybin when they do not have either of these compounds according to the manufacturer’s website.

The mushrooms in the article above do not contain psilocybin in their recipe fyi

An amanita species being mixed in accidentally is actually exactly what I suspect happened to their bars. But there are many many other mushrooms that could do this too. Per their product page, there’s no amanita in these, either. Mushrooms also tend to absorb toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals, so they may be the right species but otherwise contaminated as well. Many options.

I already quoted that fully. Just because they have “articles” about thlse substances, does not make them relevant here. No where does she clarify that these products do not contain psilocybin. The article is misleading at best. The author is a human subject to bias and error like anyone.

LustyArgonianMana, 5 days ago (edited 4 hours ago)

I used “articles” as a synonym to the word “reports” in the quoted text.

The company’s literal website (linked in the article) has an FAQ that states this, which is where I got the info. The author should’ve done better. She should’ve stated that psilocybin isn’t in the original recipe.

These don’t have DMT

That’s interesting, I have genes that basically mean I’m on a natural MAOI at all times. Should I stay away from DMT then? Is that why Salvia was such a hellish nightmare?

They don’t contain anything like that: diamondshruumz.com/shop/…/dark-chocolate/

What? PCR is used constantly every day by the CDC and in the medical industry to identify species (usually pathogenic) via genes. Kary Mullis got a Nobel prize for it. It’s literally as mundane as any other lab test now.

Yes I am on a low tyramine diet, that is actually how I found out about my genes (migraines from tyramine lead to gene test). There are also several meds I can’t take as well. But I had never known about DMT interacting with it.

some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

‘Some of which’ sounds like perhaps some reports indicated the presence.

Let’s agree to disagree. There are clearly numerous people itt “having a stroke” because they all thought these mushrooms were psychoactive after reading the article. That’s bad writing. It’s a bad piece. It is what it is. We don’t all do our best work on everything. But if she’s supposed to be informing us, she failed.

It’s not enough.

I think you mean meth, not heroin. Heroin would have the opposite effect

They mean the old records were broken (“tumbled”) that existed before the new ones. I think the use of tumble is meant to pay homage to tumbleweeds since it’s the southwest

Apple buying Tesla would be kinda crazy, might turn out good since Teslas are basically computers with wheels. But the two companies design way differently than each other, I doubt Tesla is as good of craftsmanship as what Apple typically does, and may sully their brand unless they can find a cost effective way to turn out a better product for similar pricing

I could see Microsoft making more sense between it or Apple. Tesla could give them that “sexy” edge they’ve literally never had before and that Apple’s always had going for them. But there are tons of legal issues and regulations with the automotive industry, idk if they will want to.

Other interesting options would be NVIDIA or Alphabet, they have the spare capital for it but again, weird industry for them to get into. Likely Toyota or Ford etc would buy before a tech company imo.

He’s gotta pay back the Saudis for Twitter or else he’ll be Khashoggi’d, so I imagine he’s quite desperate to be asking this in the first place. I wonder how many people invested in Tesla as a way to raise funds for him personally, eg millionaire friends propping up the stock for him as a favor.

He was only investigated because he’s the president’s son

Anything but metric

Yup. Have you ever watched old Civil Rights activists’s speeches or interviews? People like Madaline Murray O’Hair. The interviews were calm and seeking to understand. They were slower and less aggressive. Madeline Murray O’Hair was called “The Most Hated Woman in America,” and is responsible for many laws enforcing separation of church and state. And they were still able to conduct a better interview then.

Those old Civil Right’s interviews really showcase the regression we’ve had. It’s almost like since we had those few famous activists, we haven’t had many real ones since. Unless it’s a teen girl like Malala or Greta Thurnberg, who are cute and all, but like, where are all the adults, ya know?

I am for sex work, I am against sex abuse.

LustyArgonianMana, 24 days ago

Sex work can have an emotional element to it as well.

No.
