When Thomas Hartle was diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer, he became one of the first Canadians to use psilocybin mushrooms to manage his end-of-life anxiety. But his exemption expired last year, and he says Health Canada is “resistant to moving forward with opening up the avenues” to access the drugs.

Now a small SERO army of illegal mushroom stores is open for business, challenging the law to get the hallucinogenic fungi into the hands of Canadians. But experts say the unregulated vendors are unlikely to radically advance acceptance of the drug in society or among authorities.

While the cultivation, sale and possession of magic mushrooms (scientifically called psilocybe cubensis) remain illegal in Canada, an online shop called FunGuyz offers a wide variety of dried varieties that have been lab-tested for psilocybin content. The shop also sells a range of psychedelic accessories, including pipes, scales and bags for carrying the fungi.
