Frequently asked questions
Q: Is it legal to purchase or possess P. cubensis spores in the United States?
A: In most U.S. states, yes — but there are important exceptions.
Under federal law, psilocybin and psilocin (the psychoactive compounds found in mature Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms) are classified as Schedule I substances. This makes the cultivation, sale, and possession of psilocybin-containing mushrooms illegal.
However, spores do not contain any psilocybin or psilocin, and as such, they are not classified as controlled substances at the federal level. This means that in the majority of states, it is legal to purchase, possess, and sell spores and isolated spore syringe, as long as they are not used for cultivation.
That said, a few states have specific laws that restrict or ban the possession of Psilocybe cubensis spores entirely. These states are: California, Georgia, Florida, and Idaho
Due to these restrictions, we do not ship any mushroom spores or related products to these states.
Please note: Laws and regulations can change. We encourage all customers to be aware of and comply with their local and state laws before purchasing.
Q: Do you ship outside of the United States?
A: No, we do not offer international shipping. We are only able to process and ship orders within the United States.
Q: what if it is hot or cold where I live. Will the spores, and isolated spore syringes survive shipping?
A: Yes — our products are resilient and handle both heat and cold during transit without issue. Only in very rare instances will temperature-related problems occur. In that instance we will contact you to hopefully find a better weather window.
That said, once your order arrives, we strongly recommend refrigerating your isolated spore syringes at a temperature between 35–45°F. This will help preserve their viability for 6 to 12 months.
⚠️ Important: Do not allow your isolated spore syringes to freeze. While they can often survive one freeze-thaw cycle, repeated freezing and thawing can damage or kill them.
