Question: Is it legal to purchase/possess Psilocybe cubensis (aka Magic Mushroom) Syringes in the US?

Answer: Yes (with some state exceptions: California, Georgia and Idaho)

The Federal Controlled Substances Act bans the sale or purchase of any substance containing psilocybin (the active ingredient in mature magic mushrooms). This means that psilocybin mushrooms themselves are illegal to cultivate, sell, or trade. The Controlled Substances Act does not make any mention of the spores or mycelium of these mushrooms, because:

The spores/immature early-stage mycelium of these mushrooms do not contain any psilocybin.

This is why the sale/purchase/possession of cubensis spores is legal to purchase, sell, trade, or give away in 47 states, while the cultivation of these mushrooms is illegal.

There are some specific state exceptions: California, Georgia and Idaho have specific state amendments that prohibit the sale or possession of cubensis spores or mycelium, regardless of psilocybin content. That means that we cannot and will not fulfill any orders to California, Georgia or Idaho that contain any of these products. This is subject to change based on changes in local legislation.

Question: So your P. cubensis syringes are legal?

Answer: Yes!

Our syringes are 100% free of any psychoactive alkaloids, as tested and proven by HPLC testing. These results are available upon request.

These syringes are intended for microscopy, research, and taxonomy purposes only. Any emails or orders mentioning cultivation (including agar, grain, fruiting, harvesting) or consumption (ingesting, dosing, recreational or therapeutic use) will result in a cancelled order and a refusal of service.

Please, don’t make us the bad guys here — do not contact us about growing P. cubensis cultures.

For more information, see our Legal Disclaimer.

Question: Do you offer information or advice on growing magic mushrooms?

Answer: No, and any mention of cultivation of our products will result in a cancelled order or a refusal of service.

Cultivation of cubensis species is legal or decriminalized in less than 32 locations across the United States (As of October 2023). We cannot provide advice for illegal cultivation of P. cubensis species. We do not condone the cultivation of cubensis spores, as they are for research or microscopy only.

Any mention of cultivation, or any questions regarding growing/cultivation of P. cubensis spores, will result in a refusal of service and a canceled order.

Question: What types of payment do you accept?

Answer: We currently accept debit and credit cards from Visa, Mastercard, and Amex.

Other forms of payment are not guaranteed to work. Send us an email if you have any questions.

Question: How long does it take to ship?

Answer: Once placed, please allow for up to 1-3 business days of processing time before your order ships.

While we try to ship all orders within 1-2 days of receiving payment, we are a small (but mighty!) team and cannot always ship within 1-2 days of receiving your payment. USPS is not open on weekends, so shipping can only occur Monday through Friday.

For example, orders placed later in the week may ship the next Monday or Tuesday.

For more information, see our Terms and Conditions.

Question: Is there order tracking information?

Answer: Yes! Your “Shipping Confirmation” email will have your tracking information.

This email is only sent to you once your order ships, so please allow 1-3 business days before looking for your Shipping Confirmation email.

Your order confirmation webpage will also update with your tracking information once shipped. Most modern browsers have a history function (CTRL+H or similar). Search in your browser history for Spore Stock to find your order confirmation page, which will have the latest updates about your order as well, including tracking information.

Question: It’s been 2-3+ business days, but I never got a tracking number email.

Answer: Check your Spam/Promotional Email folders if you don’t see your Shipping Confirmation email!

Some email providers (especially Google Gmail) will auto-sort these emails into your Spam, Junk, or Promotional folders. Please check there before emailing us!

Question: Do you have discreet shipping?

Answer: Yes! Shipping is secure and discreet with no indication as to the contents of the package.

USA shipping only. The shipping label will contain no mention of spores or cultures. Boxes have no custom logos or writing.

We ship Monday through Friday. Priority Mail Shipping only takes 3-4 days after processing time.

Question: Do you offer international (non USA) shipping?

Answer: No, we do not offer any international shipping at this time.

Sorry!
