Creating a truly unique product goes far beyond branding, and the enigmatic PolkaDot Mushroom Chocolate Bar is a true masterpiece, blending PolkaDot’s proprietary psilocybin mushroom blend and gluten-free Belgian chocolate. Fake brands of PolkaDot mushroom chocolate have flooded online marketplaces and smoke shops.

Lies caused thousands of smoke shop owners to believe these products were authentic PolkaDot mushroom products. Instead, these counterfeit bars contain dangerous synthetic chemicals and other additives that can cause serious health problems.

An authentic PolkaDot shroom product allows you to win exciting prizes, including NFT rewards, merch, and concert tickets, through a scratch-off verification sticker.

Real Vs Fake Polka Dot Mushroom Chocolate Bars

Genuine PolkaDot mushroom chocolate bars DO NOT contain Amanita muscaria. After 4-ACO was exposed, many of these Amanita companies switched to non-detect analogs. This is when things became even more dangerous, as any lab can explain that non-detection can mean anything.

To test a product, you must inform the lab of the exact compound you want to test so the chromatography machine can detect it. That means added THC can be non-detectable, and even worse, something the brands themselves don’t even know.

Please do not consume “Polk A Dot” bars with Amanita on the packaging and circular NFC verification stickers.

Millions of counterfeit Polka Dot mushroom bars have flooded the smoke shop market, posing a significant danger. These fake bars misled smoke shop owners into thinking they were genuine PolkaDot mushroom products.

The recent CDPH warning not to eat Polkadot Amanita magic blend chocolate bars wasn’t a surprise, as the counterfeit bars mentioned below were found to be adulterated with dangerous psychoactive drugs, including 4-Acetoxy-DET (4-Acetoxy-N, N-diethyltryptamine) and 4-Hydroxy-DET (4-Hydroxy-N, N-diethyltryptamine).

The Dangers of Fake PolkaDot Bars Laced with Amanita Muscaria

An article published by UC San Diego titled “Unregulated Sales of a Toxic and Hallucinogenic Mushroom Endanger Public Health” shows that Americans’ interest in a potentially harmful “magic mushroom” is soaring, with Google searches skyrocketing 114 percent from 2022 to 2023, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science.

In a paper published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the scientists suggest that the growing market for Amanita muscaria may be partly sparked by emerging clinical research supporting the safety and efficacy of psilocybin as a treatment for depression.

Like psilocybin mushrooms, Amanita muscaria has psychotropic effects. These include a feeling of weightlessness, visual and auditory hypersensitivity, space distortion, unawareness of time, and colored hallucinations. The psychotropic effects are produced by compounds naturally occurring in the mushroom: muscimol and ibotenic acid, its biosynthetic precursor.

However, in addition to being psychotropic, these compounds can also be more toxic than fentanyl, cocaine, and PCP, according to the scientists’ review of estimates from published mouse studies.

Lab results from Tryptomics also found that fake polka dot bars lack a consistent dosage, and the presence of undisclosed ingredients or additives can cause severe health complications or death in extreme cases.

How to Check the Authenticity of PolkaDot Chocolate

We have developed a system at PolkaDot that enables you to verify the authenticity of your PolkaDot mushroom products. If you see products labeled “Polk A Dot” at smoke shops or any shroom dispensary near you, please inform them to send them to Tryptomics or Hyphae Labs for testing.

Identification or verification of a genuine Polka Dot mushroom bar is done through the SCRATCH-OFF VERIFICATION STICKER, which contains a unique QR code.

Like other mushroom gummies or edibles, authentic PolkaDot chocolate bars and shroom gummies feature a scratch-off verification sticker (square, not circular) with a unique authentication QR code that can be used to verify the authenticity of the PolkaDot mushroom product using your smartphone or the Phantom Crypto wallet.
