A Staten Island woman buying pot from a local deli got into a misunderstanding with the cashier — who ended up macing her, dragging​ her outside by her hair, kicking her in the head and mistakenly calling her trans.

Key takeaway.... they sell weed at deli's in NYC?

That's interesting. Around here it's all thru a licensed shop.

They got Aminita mushroom gummies in the corner stores in Boston! Head shops are also selling vape carts.

No way? Like Muscarine gummies? Now that's crazy I want some (for science).

If you do it, pay close attention to what's supposedly inside it. Both muscimol and ibotenic acid are supposed to be hallucinogenic, and both muscimol and ibotenic acid are in fly agric mushrooms. However, muscimol appears to be fairly non-toxic while ibotenic acid is neurotoxic and can cause scarring to the brain (sciencists apparently use it to cause brain lesions in rats for testing purposes). Despite this, from what I've seen it's hard to find edibles that don't have ibotenic acid.

Also, note that I said "supposedly" a lot. I tried a chocolate bar that supposedly had muscimol in it once. I felt a little odd the first time I tried it, but that was the full extent of my experience (I tried eating half the bar at one point to see if I just have a high natural tolerance, but that had even less of an effect). Additionally, I think I read a company recently got caught selling gummies that were just straight-up psilocybin.

Ah thanks for the info!

Lol, I got some straight up psilocybin gummies all professionally packaged, I had a packaged molly chocolate bar too!
