Organic Shrooms Canada in Toronto

During my visit to Organic Shrooms Canada in downtown Toronto, the store’s staff — many of whom have long hair and colorful tattoos — were friendly and genuinely excited about the products they were selling. They explain that mushrooms of all kinds — not just the hallucinogenic variety — provide health benefits such as mood enhancement, increased energy and improved focus. They also boast that mushrooms like chaga, cordyceps, lion’s mane and reishi have been shown to fight off tumor growth and cancer cells. Go here organicshroomcanada.co

But the store’s main draw is the dried varieties of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The owner, a former nurse, helps customers choose the right blend of mushrooms for them. She says some mushrooms will provide an energetic boost, while others offer relaxation. The store is one of a growing number that are popping up in cities across the country, offering mushrooms and a host of other herbal supplements that have been linked to mental and physical health.

The Benefits of Choosing Organic Shrooms in Canada

While mushroom picking has never been a big industry in Canada, it is a growing niche in an area where people are eager to try something new. And with a legal opening, retailers are hoping to cash in on the trend.

Until recently, psilocybin mushrooms were classified as a restricted drug under the federal Food and Drug Act, meaning that people who pick or sell them could be arrested. But last December, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled that the mushroom itself is not prohibited, as long as it’s grown legally.
