The products are made with a synthetic psilocybin called 4-acO-DMT that can potentially be hazardous.
These Diamond Shruumz edibles, made by Santa Ana-based Prophet Premium Blends, are being recalled. The products have been linked to 113 illnesses and 42 hospitalizations — and possibly two deaths. It is standard practice for scientists and drug companies to use synthetic psilocybin formulas when conducting clinical studies or drug trials. But synthetic psilocybin is now also showing up outside the lab in illicit “magic mushroom” edibles that are making consumers sick.
In June, the FDA tested two Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars and found they contain a compound called 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, also known as 4-acO-DMT. One of the products also contained several compounds found in the in Colorado before being recalled, and other similar products are likely still available. “]The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are still investigating the link between Diamond Shruumz products and the illnesses, which include symptoms such as seizures, abnormal heart rate and vomiting.
The psychoactive effects caused by 4-AcO-DMT are similar to psilocybin because the two compounds are similar in structure, said Noah Novello, founder and lead scientist at Friday Ventures drug testing lab in Louisville. But most people won’t notice a difference, he added. The chances of finding 4-AcO-DMT in psychedelic mushroom edibles are “at least 50/50 if you’re buying stuff online,” he estimates. “If you’re buying something from a head shop or a convenience store that’s labeled mushrooms, well over 50%.”Recall vote ousts 2 East Bay school board members who pushed to ban gay Pride flags
“Typically you’re going to have leftover impurities. That’s where it becomes the question of, well is 4-AcO-DMT, 100% pure, safe? That’s a different question than ingesting a chocolate bar that maybe contains it. Because how do you know it’s 100% pure 4-AcO that went into there? You really don’t,” Brook said.
