    Huh, interesting. I wonder if there are mushroom retreats/‘resorts’ (for lack of a better term, what I’m thinking would be pretty small). If it was 100% legal this seems like a no brainer, and a good opportunity for psychedelic therapists to practice (similar, in some ways, to people going to Mexico for medical procedures, but addressing a different access problem).

    I’ll need to look it up myself - I have a hard time trusting social media posts that say mushrooms are no-strings legal (I see a lot of folks saying this about Canada, which is just straight-up false - if you’re part of a clinical trial or your doctor filled out a LOT of paperwork, sure, but despite being open those mushroom dispensaries and clear web services are still 100% illegal). But if true, I’d be curious to see how that’s taken advantage of from a business and therapeutic point of view.

    Edit: Does appear to be a thing. Wish I had a better source, but this is published on the Jamaica Information Service, which appears to be a government operated thing (look at the sidebar under Corporate for more details): https://jis.gov.jm/protocols-in-place-for-magic-mushrooms/
