Now that weed is legal, longtime cannabis activist Dana Larsen has his sights set on destigmatizing the consumption of psychedelic mushrooms.

Larsen is launching The Mushroom Dispensary out of Vancouver, a mail order dispensary through which people with medical conditions that can be treated by psilocybin mushrooms can access microdoses of the drug. Dried psilocybin mushrooms are illegal to possess or sell in Canada. Both Denver and Oakland recently voted to decriminalize mushrooms.

“These are useful medical products that should be available,” Larsen said, noting that while there remains work to be done on the weed regulation front, it’s a good time to start looking at other substances.

"I hope to expand into other entheogens and higher dosages over time. But since this is the first above-board mushroom dispensary in Canada that I know of, I think it's best to start with microdoses and work our way up." - Dana Larsen

Larsen knows his latest business is breaking the law, but said that is the point and he even has lawyers on standby.

"I think it needs to be done openly as a matter of civil disobedience to defy the law in an open way and hopefully that can make the law change, ultimately," he said..........

.....The Vancouver Police Department said it is aware of Larsen's online shop and is looking into it.

"Magic mushrooms and other psychedelic drugs are not typically an enforcement priority for the VPD, given the ongoing opioid epidemic, unless there are aggravating factors such as trafficking to children, or near schools and playgrounds," said Const. Steve Addison in an email.

Larsen plans on opening a brick-and-mortar shop in the next couple of months and has already started scouting for a spot.

But he knows there may be challenges with the City of Vancouver.
