Hello, my fungi's and fun-gals!
Ever craved the buzz of a glass of wine without the brutal morning after? Oh, the dreams we dream! And guess what? In my relentless quest to explore and unearth, I believe I've found our answer: the "holy grail" for those of us who want the feel-good without the feel-bad.
Step into the spotlight: Our new To the Moon 5MG Muscimol Isolate Infused Gummies.
For the non-mycology versed, muscimol is a compound extracted from certain mushrooms, notably the amanita. It’s celebrated for its soothing, mellow vibes, making it a fantastic alternative for those seeking relaxation without the pitfalls of alcohol. Best of all, it's legal and won't make you fail any drug test. (You're welcome to all y'all in the south...except you Louisiana...I said what I said...unfortunately this vodoo magic is a no-go there).
Our Packaging is pretty freaking perfect (I may or may not have hand a major hand in the design...) Gorgeously presented, the gummy promised a tropical escape. And boy, did it deliver! A flavor burst of orange, passion fruit, maybe a hint of mango? Pure tropical paradise in a bite.
The Experience: So, about its effects. I'm well-versed in the floaty joy a glass or two of wine imparts. And this little gummy? Spot on. Imagine sipping a glass and a half of your cherished Chardonnay or Rosé. I felt the tendrils of relaxation within about an hour, much like that lovely wine haze, just a bit longer to kick in. All without the specter of tomorrow's regret. I was beyond excited that our very new gummies truly delivered what our chemists said it would. I was beyond giddy with delight.
Now I have tried many, many supposed "amanita gummies" at Champs tradeshows, the Cannadelic and local vape and headshops. After this experience, it does not surprise me that most of these so called "muscimol gummies" pulled off the shelves and tested by the skeptics of Reddit did not contain Muscimol at all. In fact, many of these gummies contained explicitly banned substances, or substances that will make you fail a drug test. (Compounds ranging from Delta 8, HHC and even DMT...um yikes). No wonder my experience varied from gummy to gummy and batch to batch.
The new partners who acquired Moon and Myco, promised a true and tested Muscimol for our next round of gummies, so to say I was excited was an understatement. After trying many, many 5MG infused gummies and feeling nothing at all, I was beyond excited that we truly have a muscimol gummy that actually delivers.
The chemist swore up and down 5mg would provide a true amanita experience, and I had strict orders to put warning labels on the gummies. So of course, the beautiful buzz was enough to satisfy...
Okay, confession time. In true me fashion, I pushed the envelope #itsforresearch. Despite VERY clear instructions NOT to consume more than one gummy within 24 hours, my dumb ass decided to pop a second after just 4 hours. And oh boy, folks, I DO NOT RECOMMEND. What followed can only be described as a wild, uncontrollable ride. I was staggeringly messed up, experiencing bizarre glitches in my hands and legs. I couldn't text, I couldn't hold a glass. I had insane dreams. Like really insane. It wasn’t the relaxing night I had in mind. LESS IS MORE, and I cannot emphasize this enough. Please, heed the warnings. My brilliant partners know what they're talking about! The experience lasted at least 7 hours (I fell asleep, so I can't exactly be sure).
So, whether it's a quiet evening with a novel, a sun-soaked day at the beach, or just unwinding after work, our To the Moon Gummies could be the answer to your relaxation needs. The tropical taste is an utter delight, the relaxation is reminiscent of your go-to wine, and the hangover-free mornings? Heavenly. For those yearning for an alcohol alternative without the downsides, this might be your ticket.
However, always remember moderation. Embrace new experiences, but be cautious. And if ever in doubt, stick to the guidance provided.
To new discoveries and smarter choices!
Mush Love, Kim
P.S. Massive props to our chemists at Moon and Myco for this innovation. The future of chill, responsible recreation seems tropical and tantalizing. I can't wait to see what we release next.
