[Paradoxed]

Do not eat, sell, or serve any flavor of Diamond Shruumz- Brand Chocolate Bars, Cones, and Gummies. FDA’s investigation is ongoing.

As of July 15, 2024, a total of 69 illnesses have been reported from 28 states. Sixty (60) of the 69 people have reported seeking medical care, 36 have been hospitalized, and there is one potentially associated death under investigation.

FDA is aware that recalled Diamond Shruumz-brand products are still on the shelves at several smoke/vape shops, and at retailers that sell hemp-derived products such as cannabidiol (CBD) or delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC). FDA is monitoring the firm’s recall to assess its effectiveness.

It looks like they are selling shroom chocolates with 4-aco DMT instead of real mushrooms. desmethoxyyangonin, dihydrokavain, and kavain are all parts of the kava plant.

4-Aco-DMT is generally pretty safe. I don't know how this drug mixes with kava. I haven't tried kava.

Some of these gummies were labelled as to be Amanita Muscuria, which isn't supposed to get you high, but it seems like they are putting 4-aco-DMT in it in states where mushrooms are not decriminalized.

The delta-8 version of mushrooms:
