Summary
"Magic mushrooms," potent psychoactive substances, have been consumed in northern Europe since the late 1970s, experiencing a recent resurgence among young people. These fungi are collected naturally across various geographies in autumn or cultivated, for instance, in the Netherlands. In Germany, they're even marketed as "aroma pads." Such widespread access necessitates careful Toxicology and Psychedelics and Drug Studies to fully understand the medical risks associated with these substances.
Abstract
Psychoactive mushrooms ("magic mushrooms") have been consumed in northern Europe since the late seventies. Recently, the use of hallucinogenic fungi has become popular among young people again. In autumn, psychoactive mushrooms can be collected from their natural habitats throughout Europe. Some species are cultivated in the Netherlands and are sold in "smart-shops" or via Internet. In Germany, dried specimens are sold as "Duftkissen" (aroma pads). The article reviews the common psychoactive species and illustrates medical risks.
