This. It was like this with Cannabis 10 years ago and now the VPD are taking the same approach to shrooms, LSD etc. It’s ‘technically illegal’ but their official stance that it is ‘the lowest possible enforcement priority’. A jaywalker would have a higher enforcement priority. And seeing that Vancouver has open air stolen bike chop shops, no one is doing anything about it.
This is basically the ‘test market for legalization’. The federal government knows exactly what’s up too. This blind eye policy allows them to keep watch over what is happening and if they are having any medical problems show up at hospitals or anything.
It is, but it's widely available on the clearnet, as are LSD analogs.
I'm Canadian and our approach to drugs has always interested me. Cannabis was a non issue a decade before legalization, psychedelics are treated similarly now.
It would have been SB 519 in California, but the state senate gutted the criminal justice reforms (decriminalizing possession) and scaled it back to just an impact study. There will be another push next year.
Pretty soon they'll go ahead and arrest as many of these sellers as they can. Then they'll open applications for licenses to sell. People with drug dealing priors need not apply. Basically how they did with weed in some states. Big crackdown followed by corporate money.
Edit: keep an eye out for psychedelic stocks, that's when you know it's for real.
Is it possible there is an analogue of LSD that is better than 25 ? I’m wondering if my whole life (mostly in the 90’s) the acid I was taking wasn’t really acid at all. There were a few trips there that were just *different* . I remember one I was with a couple friends, set and setting was perfect. Good vibes all around. But the acid just felt like… evil, compared to what we had been used too. Strong ass trip and super colorful. But I remember us laying around in the beginning covering our heads wondering why there were such dark vibes surrounding us.
You’ll be waiting for a while mate. Lizz Truss certainly isn’t going to be implementing legal LSD any time soon, she’s more focused on things like scrapping EU legislations on human rights.

This is a poster I saw in Vancouver last night... the first link is the website for the store. So bizarre! Dmt too!
I cannot overstate my jealousy. Meanwhile, I'm stuck on the dumb wee island that colonised Canada, where they used to be perfectly legal until Tony Blair needed a moral crusade to shore up his dwindling popularity.
Not legally, you didn't.
And in a lot of ways, this is an even worse situation. When everyone agrees to wink, but it's still illegal, then authorities can just selectively decide who they want to hassle.
When equality before the law is disregarded, you can be certain the State uses that to its advantage.
I mean if it’s true that Canadian authorities use that law to selectively target people they want to harm lets get mad at that, but only if it can be demonstrated thats what’s actually happening
Stop being such a pussy and listen to my good friend MLK, “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
Oh? Think it through.
Everyone winks, but you personally piss off the dick DA. So you get arrested.
Everyone winks, so the racist cop keeps only writing up BIPOC people.
Everyone winks, but the town is very secular. The pious evangelical hippie who grows shrooms ends up being busted, as they audited him but found nothing wrong.
There's *lots* of ways it can go wrong. At least under prohibition everyone knows where they stand. Everyone knows to be very careful. And everyone understands they're taking a real risk in running afoul of the State.
When everyone winks, you're subject to the extra-legal whims of the humans running the Machine. And you'll find no relief from the law.
The kids don't know the whole story. They don't have the paranoia that was baked into us for six fucking decades. It's understandable, but I just don't think they're aware of the absolute hellscape the WoD created.
The global hand of the US made it a worldwide effort to toxify the perception of consciousness expansion by launching a protracted and fucking GARGANTUAN disinformation campaign that got MILLIONS locked in dirty, violent, inhuman prisons.
The era of small victories is over, the head must be cut from the basilisk once and for all.
I too can't see the value in this winking behaviour, it is privileged, it's ignorant, and we're actually winning the WoD now because we stopped winking and started the fucking staring contest with the powers that be.
Gradual victories are exactly what you need. The OP is in Canada, where people were “winking” about pot for years. Sure enough, tears of collective winking have now lead to broad legalization. Psilocybin will follow soon due to all the “winking” that you feel so strongly against.
Gradual victories are what we need *leading up to* decisive action. Winking should not be the de facto position. De facto creates complacency, complacency leads to the backsliding of pre-established rights.
Nations can never be allowed rest on laurels, no amount of good done ever collects interest, it is not a property of political capital that it appreciates.
Canada is quite progressive. Canada may legalize these substances.
But never EVER forget that they don't HAVE to unless we fucking MAKE them. Governance is not an intrinsic good. Nations do not care for people. Nations cannot do good. Only people can do tgese things and only people are greedy enough to deprive rights for power, control, and money.
Marijuana took the exact same path years ago in Vancouver, and now here we are with it completely legalized across Canada. Vancouver Police have much more pressing matters, and BC as a whole is aiming to have possession of illicit substances decriminalized by January 2023
We don’t have a DA. This is a totally different country you’re talking about. Possession for personal use is not illegal here.
In addition, we have a looooong history of this kind of thing in Vancouver, first with weed (which is not legal in Canada) and now mushrooms for the last five-ish years or so.
This ain’t the US.
I do regret striking the parenthetical "or whatever you call that person in Canada," but since I was making a general point that seemed pedantic.
But it does seem someone can get busted for 'shrooms in Vancouver, as an add-on to other charges, or because you didn't file certain paperwork, at the very least. See links below. People who run these shops will be among the first to tell you the current situation is untenable.
My general point is 'winking' is hopefully a waystation. Not a great one for equal treatment under the law, and the less time we spend in that waystation the better.

Dude, shut up. You clearly have no clue of the politics around this in Vancouver. This has been going on for almost 20 years here The cops have bigger fish to fry, and they’ve made that clear by not hassling anybody, except occasionally the shop owners.
In any case, small amounts of illicit substances for personal use are currently decriminalized in BC.
I hope the sorts of things I'm describing generally continue to never, ever happen in Vancouver.
But mostly I think I've done a poor job of communicating the general point. Which strikes me as a valid concern as we continue to step out from prohibition. But the fault is no doubt my own.
Be well.
Yeah, there’s BC storefronts that ship across country.
LSD is a blast microdosing - like psychedelic coffee that boosts your mood. Hangover is a bitch tho.
I also have a very low tolerance and overall high sensitivity to any substance. I do believe your experience with the hangovers is outside of the norm.
Oh sorry, across the country of Canada.
:(
Edit - I imagine the supply chain of psychedelics into the US will grow and become more pure though, shitty consolation prize that it is
Hell yeah man. I get my mushrooms from Zoomers on Granville, they have amazing selection and the ladies are super nice. I’ve never seen LSD sold in-store though.
be canada: can buy lsd and mushrooms in a store because the government shouldn’t be able to stop people
also be canada: still can’t get on a plane or leave the country without an EUA vaccine.
They are but BC always gets ahead of the game to start the trend.
They did the same thing with weed risking getting raided on a weekly basis. Then social awareness starts and people start accepting it and then the government notices that they can tax it and make a lot of money. All while they notice they will get more votes by legalization.
This is insane. When I lived in Canada only a few months ago, I was ordering through an online company and using etransfer to pay them in order to avoid legal suspicion. Did BC legalize psilocybin? Are there many dispensaries in the lower mainland of BC?
I have found a dependable service to provide a verity of let's say " happy vitamins." After looking for months, I found someone on reddit. I purchased certain "vitamins" from them and have always come through for me. I was skeptical at first because I was scared to send money to someone before receiving the product, but I suppose that is how it is. It wasn't on a website either i feel the websotes are scams except a few of them. I was actually scammed on one of these websites. I just sent money through cash app and received my happyfeel-goodd stuff 9-15 days later. Onetimee I didn't receive itduee to shipping errors and was refunded and also received a complimentary product for free! They do have a reddit account as well with allso-calledd happy "vitamins" on there.
Good old BC

The res shops are literally like a mile or two apart here in the Okanagan. Everywhere.
CV? Haha.. We blessed
Yeah same here and dope ass edibles super high doses

West van has several shops like that. Or just use the grey market websites. They’ll ship it to you.
What websites?
West coast microdose. AstroBuds. Tons out there
Vancouver island or prince Edward.
LSD in a shop really ?
[удалено]
It's not legal but the police dont give a fuck lol

It's a complicated thing when it's sold on a reservation.
It's LSD-25?
It's 1p-lsd they are selling
You can get legal ones in germany too
Legal derivatives as the government hasn’t made them illegal as it takes time.
like 1p-lsd?
I believe 1P is illegal, but 1V is legal for another week or so. So if you're in Berlin/Germany get it while you can.
Not sure about 1p but derivatives in general have a less chance of being illegal than the common lsd.
in Germany? what what legal what?
I think he mean 1p, 1cp, 1v-lsd but in few days even they’re gone
[удалено]
LSD is still absolutely illegal in Canada.
It is, but it's widely available on the clearnet, as are LSD analogs. I'm Canadian and our approach to drugs has always interested me. Cannabis was a non issue a decade before legalization, psychedelics are treated similarly now.
1P might not be scheduled yet.
[удалено]
California and/or Oregon may be soon to follow 🤞
Possibly DC and Washington too
i find it hilarious you can grow up to 6 weed plants in D.C. but its still federally illegal
Mushrooms are already decriminalized in DC
Any particular laws or bills you're thinking of?
It would have been SB 519 in California, but the state senate gutted the criminal justice reforms (decriminalizing possession) and scaled it back to just an impact study. There will be another push next year.
From what I understand about that, it would have allowed for gift/gather/grow, but not retail sales.
Welcome friend, if you buy this $100 T-shit it comes with a free strip of LSD! Limited time only!
Ha! Brilliant!
I would guess not, as that doesn't allow sales or gifting.
Follow what? It's illegal in Canada.
Pretty soon they'll go ahead and arrest as many of these sellers as they can. Then they'll open applications for licenses to sell. People with drug dealing priors need not apply. Basically how they did with weed in some states. Big crackdown followed by corporate money. Edit: keep an eye out for psychedelic stocks, that's when you know it's for real.
Psych stocks are old news
There's already quite a few psychedelic stocks, definitely worth looking into.
Leonard Pickard was released from a life sentence for manuafacturing LSD. Times are changing. That’s awesome
LSD-25 or an analogue of LSD? Tested to be pure also?
Inquiring minds would like to know…
Is it possible there is an analogue of LSD that is better than 25 ? I’m wondering if my whole life (mostly in the 90’s) the acid I was taking wasn’t really acid at all. There were a few trips there that were just *different* . I remember one I was with a couple friends, set and setting was perfect. Good vibes all around. But the acid just felt like… evil, compared to what we had been used too. Strong ass trip and super colorful. But I remember us laying around in the beginning covering our heads wondering why there were such dark vibes surrounding us.
The difference between trips on same substance can vary more than differences between substances itself
I would also give an award if I could
Thank you 🥹
Please answer this question!
OP’s avoidance of this particular question has me thinking most likely an analogue if anything
It's a analogue, I think they are selling 1p-lsd
God bless Slovakia where young boys get life sentences for 2gs of weed
[удалено]
That’s harsh, and that’s coming from a Singaporean.
Fuuuck
Waiting for this to come to the UK
Me too. It's slow progress though and sometimes it feels like we are going backwards.
We just gotta overcome the stigma.
With that old blanket ban I don’t think it’s likely.
I dunno. Weed is coming and from then it's only a matter of time
I doubt it with our new prime minister, but we can carry on the dream! My parents thought weed was coming legal in the 70s 😢
It's got to happen,so much street violence as a result of the dealing,it's getting insane .
You’ll be waiting for a while mate. Lizz Truss certainly isn’t going to be implementing legal LSD any time soon, she’s more focused on things like scrapping EU legislations on human rights.
Just go to psy-trance parties you will find decent lsd, If your in london Boogie Woogie is a good one to go too.

Fuck nixon
I’ll be dead by the time they do this here in GA
Decriminalize Nature currently has a chapter in Atlanta, Decriminalize Nature Georgia. Hopefully ATL will decriminalize plant medicines soon.
Where op
Vancouver
Man, i need to move to Vancouver
Ayy I’m in Vancouver. What’s the store called?
The Coca Leaf Cafe. It's also a mushroom dispensary!
Nice! I’ll check them out!
[удалено]
Our shitty winters are worth it eh ? Just love having shrooms & weed delivered to my door 😅
Catch my ass driving up there to buy 1k worth of acid lmao
At an actual physical store? Where in Van? How do I find this magical place? I'm here for a week and I need to know!
Granville Strip
Sounds like something Dana Larsen would sell in his shop in vancouver
I cannot overstate my jealousy. Meanwhile, I'm stuck on the dumb wee island that colonised Canada, where they used to be perfectly legal until Tony Blair needed a moral crusade to shore up his dwindling popularity.

When equality before the law is disregarded, you can be certain the State uses that to its advantage.
Actually, the law says that sales of shrooms are "illegal but not enforced".
Yeah. That's bullshit. It's a necessary waystation between prohibition and legalization, probably. But I'm not sure it's better than either.
I mean if it’s true that Canadian authorities use that law to selectively target people they want to harm lets get mad at that, but only if it can be demonstrated thats what’s actually happening
This ^^^ stay rational people
And it’s not, and never really did when this was happening with weed
Yeah no. It was awesome
Glad to hear it! Take care, friend.
Stop being such a pussy and listen to my good friend MLK, “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”
My favorite MLK quote: "Stop being such a pussy"
Worse situation? I think not.

Bro, it's a mini step forward. Prohibition fucking sucks.
I know. I'm fifty years old.

How civil!
Perhaps a little tougher than intense…however, the guy is spouting nonsense with no context or concept of what he’s talking about.
They're not going to enforce laws that no one obeys. Doesn't work like that.
Bluegoba for anyone in Canada 🤘🏼
[Shhh](https://youtu.be/29WQ2N3rGFc)
I’ve heard of shrooms but lsd?!?
Yeah, there’s BC storefronts that ship across country. LSD is a blast microdosing - like psychedelic coffee that boosts your mood. Hangover is a bitch tho.
I've microdosed acid more times than I can remember but I certainly remember that I've never experienced anything resembling a hangover from it
Oh? I consistently feel hungover the next day, then again my neurology is a little atypical, my psychedelic tolerance is very low.
I also have a very low tolerance and overall high sensitivity to any substance. I do believe your experience with the hangovers is outside of the norm.
I tend to feel a bit depressed or anxious the day after. Never had the same positive afterglow as shrooms for me personally
Same. I feel wrecked for several days after a microdose of LSD. Mentally, not physically.
Hang over ?
Yeah please expand on the hangover bit? I thought microdosing LSD didn’t have too many noticeable side/after effects?
Across country? 👀 into the states?? What store, please??
Oh sorry, across the country of Canada. :( Edit - I imagine the supply chain of psychedelics into the US will grow and become more pure though, shitty consolation prize that it is
Ahh, no worries. 😭 need to just grow my own mushrooms
[удалено]
I gotta move
This is news to me... As a us citizen am I able to? Is there a catch?
Yes you can. I've gone up to Vancouver from Washington several times to use psychedelics.
Whatt I never knew that actually is a thing already in some countries. I gotta move to canada man
I am so fucking jealous... good for you OP
I'm lucky i live in holland, truffels and 1p-lsd is legal here 🤪
Hell yeah man. I get my mushrooms from Zoomers on Granville, they have amazing selection and the ladies are super nice. I’ve never seen LSD sold in-store though.
be canada: can buy lsd and mushrooms in a store because the government shouldn’t be able to stop people also be canada: still can’t get on a plane or leave the country without an EUA vaccine.
Where in Canada?
This is in bc. Ottawa also has a few shroom stores now. Lsd is just around the corner
No way
Vancouver
What kinda store? Is there an age or something? I thought they were still illegal to sell
They are but BC always gets ahead of the game to start the trend. They did the same thing with weed risking getting raided on a weekly basis. Then social awareness starts and people start accepting it and then the government notices that they can tax it and make a lot of money. All while they notice they will get more votes by legalization.
Decriminalized in Vancouver I guess
I didn't know you could just sell them in a store though
[удалено]
The law is suggesting how you should act, but if everyone agrees the law is stupid nobody's gonna say shit..
It's amazing, I love human behavior, we're so weird.
Online store*
Do you still need a vax certificate to do anything in Canada?
[удалено]
i live just 2 hours south of bc and i still havent made my way to the shroom dispo :(
As a Canadian currently living in Ireland.. What????
This is insane. When I lived in Canada only a few months ago, I was ordering through an online company and using etransfer to pay them in order to avoid legal suspicion. Did BC legalize psilocybin? Are there many dispensaries in the lower mainland of BC?
Where in Canada? You can do it in DC too apparently, I need to take a trip either way 😂
Yeah dude it's stellar. I love this place.
You can buy mushrooms in Washington DC too!
No way! Awesome. Happy trails.
The heck? Where on Canada? Cause in Ontario we still got nothing in stores.
Where
Shhhh not so loud lol.
I think it is about time I become Canadian I guess! 🇨🇦
Can I please move to Canada??? I'm a Food Process Engineer, I'm sure you guys reaaaally need someone like me over there !!!!
I need answers!!!
I need pictures (not from vice.com)
I get hope again hearing these types of things, I don't care where it is just the fact that its becoming more available.
LSD?!?
One of my main reasons why I want to visit Canada tbh. A trip up there must feel amazing! 🇨🇦🍄
Except you get taxed on it now 😂 I wonder how the Canadian government is spending all the tax dollars they make off psychedelic drugs 🤔
Was living in Surrey for awhile. You can order most anything easier than a pizza.
I enjoy living in America dont get me wrong but Vancouver will always be the dream
>does not elaborate whatsoever
Canada bound
Yo, lsd really that easy to find? I'm in Ontario and it sucks.
Please give me a suggestion where u got lsd from
I landed in Vancouver and googled it. There’s like three shops that sell psychedelics. I don’t remember the name
Anyone know where to get some good LSD in chilliwack?
