I'd sunk into the couch for a "wine" down with my girlfriends. We'd typically share a bottle (or two) of red, but this time, instead of wine, I saw a rainbow Willy Wonka-esque shroom chocolate bar on my friend's coffee table.

I've been microdosing mushroom gummies for the last year. Life-changing," one message read. "When I go out, I take them over drinking. I have more fun, I'm giggly...[there's] no hangover. I wake up feeling happier and more energized never anxious or depressed. I've gotten probably 15 of my friends on it and they all agree, it's an easy way to cut down or cut out drinking altogether."
