Psilocybin Mushroom Chocolate

Shroomies Magic Mushroom Chocolate Bars are infused with Golden Teacher mushrooms which are known for their reliable trip and are often the gateway shroom for newbies. They’re commonly used for gaining new insight about yourself and the universe due to their spiritual and shamanic effects.

Divided into ten squares, these psilocybin-infused chocolates are convenient because of their easy dose nature. Ranging in both potency and flavour, these allow for flexible methods of microdosing or plain enjoyment. chocolate mushroom bar

“Traditionally, the combination of psilocybin and cacao is known as the Aztec combo,” explains Dehier. “Cacao’s name is derived from the scientific name Theobroma cacao meaning food or nourishment of the gods. The Aztecs referred to the psilocybin mushroom as Teonanácatl which translates to flesh of the gods.”

The entrepreneur developed STEM to craft psilocybin-infused chocolate that could open people’s minds to the diverse benefits of safe medicinal mushroom consumption.

“We’re dedicated to dismantling the stigma surrounding this magnificent species,” says Dehier. “We were driven to create STEM to disrupt the industry as we know it, by presenting this medicine in a more elevated and approachable way.” STEM’s chocolate is not your run-of-the-mill dark/milk/white variety. Think instead of exotic flavors such as cardamom, Provence lavender, and yuzu.

“STEM’s most popular mushroom chocolate bar flavors are Cookies & Cream Dreams, Caramel Gold Rush, and our premium Passionfruit Triptych made with Penis Envy mushrooms, Valrhona chocolate, and genuine 23K gold,” says Dehier.

The benefits of blending cacao and psilocybin mushroom

Dehier points out that the tradition of combining cacao and psilocybin is actually thousands of years old, dating back to ancient medicinal ceremonies.

“Their strong synergy has been known to enhance the effects of psilocybin and guide the spirit through the journey,” says Dehier. “Together, psilocybin mushrooms and cacao give more depth to a psychedelic experience. Traditionally, it is said that psilocybin mushrooms open the mind, while cacao opens the heart.”

There’s evidence that teaming the two does offer unique benefits. Although cacao is not a psychedelic, it is a stimulant of sorts. Cacao contains MAO-inhibitors, anandamide, and other potent natural compounds that help to elevate mood and feelings of pleasure. Dehier adds that these features help to enhance the effect of psilocybin. What’s more, cacao is rich in natural fats (here’s looking at you, cacao butter), which increase the absorption of psilocybin. chocolate mushroom bar

Dehier suggests thinking of cacao as a liposomal carrier for cacao. “The fat particles make it easier for the body to absorb while allowing the psilocybin to transfer to the blood and brain,” she explains. In short, teaming psilocybin and cacao seems to make for an elevated psychedelic experience.“Food of the gods and flesh of the gods is the perfect balance, and a match made in heaven,” reflects Dehier.

Edibles for microdosing

The genius of the shroom chocolate bars is that they can easily be divided into microdosed-sized pieces, so consumers can control how much psilocybin they swallow with each bite.

“The bar is divided between 15 pieces. Each piece contains 200 mg of psilocybin mushrooms,” says Dehier. “We suggest cutting each piece in half (100 mg) or quarters (50 mg) for a scheduled psilocybin microdose routine. One bar should last you between 1-2 months, depending on your dosing schedule.”

For those new to psychedelics, or those seeking to harness their benefits regularly, microdosing represents an easy and effective way to dip one’s toes in the proverbial psychedelic pool. Microdosing allows the individual to lean into an altered mood and perspective rather than venture into outer space on a hero’s journey.
