Magic mushrooms, also known as psilocybin mushrooms, are a type of fungi that contain the hallucinogenic compound psilocybin. These mushrooms have a long history of use in various cultures for spiritual and therapeutic purposes. The Inland Empire, a region located in Southern California, has gained popularity as a hotspot for the cultivation and consumption of magic mushrooms. The Inland Empire's favorable climate and geographical features make it an ideal environment for growing magic mushrooms. The region's mild winters and warm summers create the perfect conditions for fungi to thrive. Furthermore, the area's diverse ecosystems provide a rich variety of mushroom species, including several psychedelic ones.

LA’s underground psychedelic scene
Medicinal legalization of psilocybin in Oregon and decriminalization in seven major cities across the nation has led to an increased interest in the use of psychedelics for both medicinal and recreational purposes.

- Senate Bill 519 would legalize the possession of shrooms, MDMA and other drugs for Californians 21 and up
- A vote on the bill has been pushed to next January
- Drugs and music journalist Michelle Lhooq tells "Inside the Issues" “shrooms are the new weed”
- She says more Angelenos are experimenting with psychedelics during the pandemic
Senate Bill 519, introduced by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) would legalize the possession of psilocybin, psilocyn, DMT, ibogaine, mescaline, LSD, ketamine and MDMA for Californians 21 and up. A vote on the bill has been pushed to next January.
Michelle Lhooq, drugs and music journalist and author of the “Rave New World” newsletter on Substack and of the book "WEED: Everything You Want to Know But Are Always Too Stoned to Ask" tells "Inside the Issues" “shrooms are the new weed” and more Angelenos are experimenting with psychedelics during the pandemic.
The perception that legalization or decriminalization is imminent has led to a flourishing informal market for psychedelic substances here locally.
“There’s a lot of different micro-scenes all over LA. You have really bougie parties in Malibu in mansions where the, sort of, bourgeois are having psychedelic parties with micro-dosed shrooms and sparkling water enhanced with MDMA and then you have backyard barbecues in Echo Park where you might have a mushroom tea being offered with bands and live music being played,” explains Lhooq. “So, it really runs the gamut, I would say.”
A lot of these parties are happening during the day and in relaxed environments — a change from the 1960s and '70s.
“In general, I think the old stereotype of sketchy, underground deals and unsafe environments, is not really the case anymore. This is very much a modality centered on wellness and self-optimization,” Lhooq said.
Many people have begun to experiment with micro-dosing these psychedelics, where users take a very small amount of a drug.
“Usually it’s not even enough to feel the psychotropic effects,” Lhooq said. “it’s more of a subliminal, gradual effect that stacks up over time and there are demonstrated health and mental health benefits to doing that.”

Psilocybin
Fast Facts
National Drug Intelligence Center
a component of the
U.S. Department of Justice.
What is psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a hallucinogenic substance obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States. These mushrooms typically contain 0. 2 to 0.4 percent psilocybin and a trace amount of psilocyn, another hallucinogenic substance. Both psilocybin and psilocyn can be produced synthetically, but law enforcement reporting currently does not indicate that this is occurring.
What does psilocybin look like?
Mushrooms containing psilocybin are available fresh or dried and have long, slender stems topped by caps with dark gills on the underside. Fresh mushrooms have white or whitish- gray stems; the caps are dark brown around the edges and light brown or white in the center. Dried mushrooms are generally rusty brown with isolated areas of off-white.
Nebraska State Patrol
How is psilocybin abused?
Psilocybin mushrooms are ingested orally. They may be brewed as a tea or added to other foods to mask their bitter flavor. Some users coat the mushrooms with chocolate--this both masks the flavor and disguises the mushrooms as candy. Once the mushrooms are ingested, the body breaks down the psilocybin to produce psilocyn.
Who abuses psilocybin?
Psilocybin mushrooms are popular at raves, clubs and, increasingly, on college campuses and generally are abused by teenagers and young adults. It is difficult to gauge the extent of psilocybin use in the United States because most data sources that quantify drug use exclude psilocybin. The Monitoring the Future Survey, conducted by the University of Michigan, does reveal that 9.2 percent of high school seniors in the United States used hallucinogens other than LSD--a category that includes psilocybin--at least once in their lifetime. Two percent of high school seniors used hallucinogens other than LSD in the past month.
What are the risks?
Use of psilocybin is associated with negative physical and psychological consequences. The physical effects, which appear within 20 minutes of ingestion and last approximately 6 hours, include nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, drowsiness, and lack of coordination. While there is no evidence that users may become physically dependent on psilocybin, tolerance for the drug does develop when it is ingested continuously over a short period of time.
The psychological consequences of psilocybin use include hallucinations and an inability to discern fantasy from reality. Panic reactions and psychosis also may occur, particularly if a user ingests a large dose.
In addition to the risks associated with ingestion of psilocybin, individuals who seek to abuse psilocybin mushrooms also risk poisoning if one of the many varieties of poisonous mushrooms is incorrectly identified as a psilocybin mushroom.
What is psilocybin called?
The most common names for Psilocybin are magic mushroom, mushroom, and shrooms. (Please see the Street Terms text box for additional names.)

Magic mushrooms might soon be legal in California. Who benefits?
A new bill to decriminalize earth-grown psychedelics just passed the California state legislature. Now it’s up to Governor Newsom to decide whether it will become law. Photo by Shutterstock.
Psychedelics have been getting a lot of attention recently. As the drug war cools down and the stigma dissipates, new research has revealed the potential of these substances to support transformational mental health care. The state of Oregon and the cities of Santa Cruz and Oakland have already decriminalized certain psychedelics, and a new bill that just passed the California legislature would do the same in the Golden State. If Governor Newsom signs SB 58 into law, earth-grown psychedelics including psilocybin from magic mushrooms, DMT from ayahuasca, and mescaline from the San Pedro cactus will no longer be illegal to possess or transport. The bill stops short of legalizing the sale of psychedelics. But as was the case with marijuana, people will likely find ways around this limitation. “There's a chance that this is going to lead to a loophole situation,” says Mary Carreón, a freelance journalist who covers psychedelics. “Maybe someone is going to buy a painting for $200, but with the painting, you're also getting some product as well.” The bill received a lot of support from military veterans, a group not traditionally associated with psychedelics. But for many folks dealing with PTSD, the substances have provided an essential lifeline. “A lot of military vets have experienced profound relief from using psychedelics,” says Carreón. “Not using them necessarily recreationally per se … but using them in a ceremonial or therapeutic context.” The bill passed the Senate 21-14, with some moderate Democrats and Republicans opposed. Critics are worried that decriminalization will lead to more unsafe drug use, including among kids. Carreón and others push back against this characterization: “I believe that with the right education, the proper care in the law, [and] proper regulation, our children aren't necessarily going to be exposed any more than they typically would be in a society that uses drugs.” Whether Governor Newsom will side with the supporters or the skeptics remains an open question. He has until October 14 to sign the bill into law. “[Newsom] says that he's in support of harm reduction,” explains Carreón. “But he also then vetoed a bill last year that would have established safe drug consumption sites, so it's hard to tell one way or the other what he's going to do.” If the bill does become law, Californians can expect to see more psychedelics in their midst. Magic mushrooms are likely to be the most prevalent among those decriminalized — because they are easy to grow and an underground economy already exists to facilitate their sale and distribution. Carreón says this trend is particularly relevant locally. “[Mushrooms] are already proliferating around Los Angeles and in Southern California. We are in the hub of mushroom culture here in Los Angeles.”

Furthermore, the area's diverse ecosystems provide a rich variety of mushroom species, including several psychedelic ones. There is evidence to suggest that magic mushrooms have been used by indigenous cultures in the Inland Empire for centuries. The Native American tribes in the region have long incorporated these mushrooms into traditional rituals and ceremonies, considering them sacred and possessing spiritual properties.
Today, this cultural history continues to influence the growing interest in magic mushrooms in the Inland Empire. Psychedelic enthusiasts and spiritual seekers visit the Inland Empire to partake in transformative experiences facilitated by magic mushrooms. The consumption of psilocybin mushrooms is believed to induce altered states of consciousness, leading to profound insights, visual hallucinations, and spiritual enlightenment. Many individuals see magic mushrooms as a tool for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. In recent years, there has been a growing movement advocating for the decriminalization or legalization of magic mushrooms in the Inland Empire and throughout the United States. Proponents argue that the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin mushrooms, including their potential to treat mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety, outweigh the associated risks. This movement is gaining traction, with several cities and states across the country decriminalizing or considering the decriminalization of magic mushrooms. However, it's important to note that the use of magic mushrooms is still illegal in most jurisdictions, including the Inland Empire. Possessing, cultivating, and distributing psilocybin mushrooms can result in criminal charges. Therefore, individuals interested in exploring the potential benefits of magic mushrooms should do so responsibly and within the bounds of the law. In conclusion, magic mushrooms have become a significant phenomenon in the Inland Empire, attracting individuals seeking transformative experiences and spiritual enlightenment. The region's favorable climate and rich cultural history contribute to the popularity of magic mushrooms in this area. While the movement to decriminalize and legalize these mushrooms is gaining momentum, it's important for individuals to be aware of the legal implications and exercise caution when engaging with psilocybin mushrooms..
Reviews for "Exploring Magic Mushroom Retreats in the Inland Empire"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic mushrooms inland empire". The story felt incredibly disjointed and had no clear narrative. It seemed like the filmmaker was just throwing random scenes together without any rhyme or reason. I also found the visual effects to be overwhelming and distracting, taking away from any potential enjoyment I could have had with the film. Overall, it was a confusing and unenjoyable experience for me.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I cannot express how much I disliked "Magic mushrooms inland empire". The characters were poorly developed, and I felt no emotional connection to any of them. The dialogue was also incredibly weak, with long stretches of meaningless conversations that only added to the film's already slow pace. On top of that, the film's attempts at being deep and philosophical fell completely flat. I was left feeling frustrated and didn't understand what the filmmaker was trying to convey. It was a total waste of my time.
3. Ryan - 2 stars - "Magic mushrooms inland empire" was a major letdown for me. The cinematography was definitely unique and had some stunning shots, but it couldn't save the film from its other flaws. The pacing was excruciatingly slow, with scenes that dragged on for far too long. Additionally, the lack of a coherent storyline made it difficult to stay engaged or invested in what was happening. I wanted to like this film, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver.
