How to Safely Buy Magic Mushrooms Online in Canada, and the United States

​​The mushroom wellness wave is booming, leaving plenty of room for questions—and just as much need for caution. That’s where we come in: to guide you and ensure your experience is a good trip, not one worth tripping over.

 

When buying mushrooms online in Canada and the US, three key factors are essential: choosing a trusted company that guarantees high-quality products, securing reliable and discreet payment and shipping methods, and having access to top-notch customer support.

 

Today, we’ll break down what to look for in a trustworthy brand and product, as well as what secure, discreet shipping and payment should look like for anyone ready to explore the shroom-verse in 2025.

 

1. Choosing the Right Company: Trustworthy Quality and Consistency

 

As more mushroom companies enter the market, one thing is certain: not all psilocybin products are created equal.

 

While anyone can get their hands on “magic mushrooms,” ensuring the mushrooms you’re buying are pure, tested, and ethically sourced is what sets one company apart from another.

 

The company you choose should be fully transparent about their strains, the potency of those strains, their quality control and testing methods, and how their mushrooms are grown. This not only shows that the company knows its craft but also demonstrates a commitment to providing consumers with consistent, high-quality products.

 

Microgenix Quality

 

At Microgenix, every product is third-party tested to ensure quality and consistency. Our mushroom strains are grown on steam-extracted rye and millet, resulting in a cleaner, easier-to-digest, and high-quality mushroom experience. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for purity and consistency and is proudly grown and produced locally in Canada and the United States.

 

2. Human-to-Human Guidance Matters

 

Unlike ordering a mug from Amazon or a new pair of jeans, customer service for psilocybin and other psychedelics should never come from a bot or automated response.

 

This is especially important for those new to psilocybin—whether microdosing or exploring the mystical depths. Real, human guidance is essential to ensure your questions are answered promptly and accurately. While mushrooms obtained from a trustworthy source are known to be safe, there’s still plenty of room for error if consumers aren’t properly educated or guided beforehand.

 

To make things easier, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most commonly asked questions, as well as a few worth asking before securing your first shroom package.

 

What does psilocybin help with?

 

Studies have shown that psilocybin is effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other disorders. More recent research also highlights its potential as a treatment for eating disorders, end-of-life distress, alcoholism, and various forms of addiction.

 

In everyday applications, psilocybin is gaining popularity among diverse groups:

 

• Mothers microdose to achieve a heightened sense of patience and connectedness at home. 
• Those seeking a ‘Cali Sober’ approach to life, or looking for a hangover-free buzz for enjoying mindful nights out. 
• Students, entrepreneurs, and creatives microdose to boost creativity and productivity.

What is the correct dose size for a microdose?

 

A typical microdose can range from 30 mg to 300 mg, depending on personal preference and tolerance levels.

 

The most common dose for beginners and long-term advocates alike tends to be around the 125 mg mark, which you can find in Microgenix Clarity Capsules, which couples psilocybin with Lion’s Mane for a brain-boosting, comprehensive microdosing experience.

 

For those with heightened sensitivity to entheogens, a dose of 30 mg to 75 mg, as found in our Mini Capsules and Clarity Lite Capsules, may be more suitable.

 

What do studies say about microdosing?

 

Microdosing is a growing area of research, with more experts studying the practice as a potential mental health solution.

 

A study published in Nature: Scientific Reports found that individuals who microdosed psychedelics reported fewer symptoms of depression and greater feelings of well-being compared to those who did not.

 

While other studies typically focus on psilocybin as a whole, such as the study by Johns Hopkins which found psilocybin’s positive effects to be “four times larger than what clinical trials have shown for traditional antidepressants”— microdosing is gaining attention as a more integrative and approachable option for regular use.

 

3. What Are the Legalities?

 

While psilocybin continues to be a growing area of scientific interest for its potential to treat various mental health disorders with little to no adverse side effects, it remains illegal under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in Canada. In the United States, psilocybin is still classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act.

 

However, times are changing, and psilocybin has seen a notable increase in general acceptance in recent years. In Canada, psilocybin is now available through the Special Access Program (SAP) for patients with certain medical conditions.

 

Just as public perception and research shifted attitudes toward marijuana, psilocybin appears to be following a similar trajectory. Many regions are reevaluating their laws, reflecting a growing understanding of its benefits when used responsibly.

 

In British Columbia, for example, decriminalization efforts are gaining traction, with major cities like Vancouver already hosting storefront dispensaries that sell psilocybin despite the legal gray area. Meanwhile, in the United States, several states and cities are actively reassessing psilocybin laws. Oregon has legalized its regulated therapeutic use, and cities like Seattle, Denver, and Oakland have fully decriminalized the substance.

 

Put simply, psilocybin occupies a legal gray area. As it stands, the widespread recreational use of the substance remains illegal. However, in Canada, there have been no known legal repercussions for individuals purchasing psilocybin from trusted online sources.

 

The FDA has named psilocybin “breakthrough therapy”, and advocacy groups continue to work tirelessly to expand psilocybin access on a broader scale.

 

4. Why Discreet Shipping and Payment Processing Matters

 

As psilocybin remains nestled in the gray area market for the time being, discreet shipping and secure payment processing are not just measures to avoid legal complications (which, to date, have not been observed among online buyers) but rather steps we take for your peace of mind, privacy, and security.
