DEA Awards First Ever License to Grow Whole Psilocybin Mushrooms for Research at an American University

Inner State, Inc and The Ohio State University, one of the top-tier research universities in the U.S. have been awarded the first ever Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) license to grow whole psilocybin mushrooms at U.S. university for research, significantly advancing the study of mental health treatment capabilities with naturally grown psychedelic mushrooms.

There is more magic to
Mushrooms than Psilocybin

Scientific Studies involving whole mushrooms offer a brief yet intriguing glimpse of the entourage effect. A better understanding of it would lead to more effective therapies and greater life-enhancing treatments.

Entourage Effect Scientific Studies

Gartz [1] observations have raised questions about other molecules modifying the clinical effects of psilocybin, psilocin, or both to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome. One of them aeruginascin “seems to modify the pharmacological action of psilocybin to always give a euphoric mood during ingestion of the mushroom.” Read more >
Matsushima et al. [2] The psilocybin mushroom extract was more effective at the same dose in reducing the behavior than pure psilocybin alone, wihtout affecting the overall locomotor activity of the mice. Suggesting that inhibition of anxiety in mice is due to the involvement of a variety of active molecules in the whole mushroom extract. Read more >
Zhuk et al. [3] The observed effect of whole mushroom extracts were much stronger compared to pure psilocin, which was even ten times smaller than the extract. Confirming the strong synergistic interaction of psychotropic components of whole mushrooms. Read more >

Quality Control in Natural products

  • Following FDA standards
  • Strain selection yielding the highest concentration of nutrients
  • Select a substrate that provides the mycelium with the nutrients it needs to develop the fruiting bodies
  • Maintain high standards to prevent any kind of contamination throughout all the growing process
  • Control the environment (light, pH, humidity, temperature)
  • Post – harvest management must prevent contamination
