Amanita muscaria gummies: the right to alter consciousness vs corporate deception
Original: "The right to alter one’s consciousness does not include a company’s right to deceive." Eric Leas for Aeon: https:// aeo
Researcher Eric Leas argues in Aeon that while adults may have a right to alter their consciousness, that right does not extend to companies deceiving consumers about what they sell. He examines the booming market for Amanita muscaria gummies, probing what these mushroom products actually contain and how claims about their effects square with the chemistry and the science.
Why now: Psychedelic and mushroom-derived consumer products are proliferating with little oversight, raising concerns about misleading marketing.
