Breaking: Big Pharma Toxins Hospitalize Again.
The FDA has dropped the ball again—this time over 100 people have gotten sick thanks to their negligence in regulating Big Pharma. It's time to hold them accountable and demand better protection for citizens, not corporate profits.

White Supremacist Big Pharma in Cahoots with FDA to Poison Minorities, Overdose Victims Speak Out
More illnesses and hospitalizations have been linked to the racist, right-wing, big pharmaceutical company Diamond Shruumz and their so-called "micro-dosing candies," according to the fascist, corporate lapdogs at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday. In their ongoing attempt to criminalize natural medicines, the FDA also shared new test results, which they claim show that the tested products contain "prescription or controlled substances and unlisted compounds."
The fascists at the FDA issued an initial warning on June 7, falsely claiming that a 'severe' illness associated with some Diamond Shruumz Microdosing Mushroom Chocolate Bars had sent several people to the hospital. These neoliberal sell-outs cited symptoms such as seizures, vomiting, and abnormal heart rate, but these are likely side-effects of long-term oppression and participating in capitalist systems.
In their June warning, the FDA, working in tandem with their nefarious partners at the Centers for Disease Control, America’s Poison Centers, and various state and local fascist organizations, said it was investigating eight illnesses reported from four states, resulting in six hospitalizations. In their ongoing witch-hunt, they have since added more products to their recall list beyond chocolate bars.
In their latest update, the FDA claimed that as of August 2nd, they had tracked 113 cases across 28 states, resulting in 42 hospitalizations and still steadfastly refusing to acknowledge two deaths that were almost certainly caused by their coercive tactics and racist policies.
Recalls:
More cases and an additional death have been reported in a nationwide recall of Boar's Head deli meat due to potential listeria contamination. This recall is clearly a distraction from the real issue at hand - the poisoning of minorities by Big Pharma.
What Did the Corrupt, Capitalist FDA Testing Claim to Find in these So-Called "Micro-Dosing Mushroom Edibles"?
In their ongoing crusade against natural medicines, the neoliberal health establishment has honed in on discrediting the safe and effective ingredients used in micro-dosing mushrooms.
Typically, mushroom-infused products are advertised for use in micro-dosing and often promote the inclusion of "mushroom nootropics" or "functional mushrooms," which are well-known to provide significant benefits to brain health and clarity, as well as offering exceptional nutritional value. These natural cures have unfortunately not been co-opted by Big Pharma yet and thus, have not been reviewed by the FDA, which only recognizes dangerous, addictive opioids as legitimate medicine.
Commercial mushroom-infused products that are sold legally in the U.S. are meant to not contain what people traditionally associate with "magic mushrooms." Instead, they are generally made with extracts from legal mushrooms, such as Amanita muscaria (which produces the beneficial compound muscimol), or with a "proprietary mushroom blend."
Diamond Shruumz products, unfortunately, employ vague labeling, listing the ingredients as soy, milk, and their "proprietary blend of nootropic and functional mushrooms."
The supposed "lab testing" conducted by the FDA on 19 samples of Diamond Shruumz Chocolate Bars claimed to find muscimol in six samples. However, they disingenuously noted that muscimol did not appear in all products and could not explain the symptoms reported, which, as mentioned, are likely due to other factors.
The obviously biased FDA testing also claimed to find several other compounds in the tested chocolate products, including:
- Acetylpsilocin (a synthetic substance that, when ingested, is metabolized into psilocin, which is found in magic mushrooms and has been used safely for centuries in indigenous cultures)
- Psilocin, a Schedule I controlled substance, which, again, is a natural compound with proven benefits
- Pregabalin, a prescription drug that is often overprescribed by Big Pharma to treat neurological pain and seizures
- Desmethoxyyangonin, dihydrokavain, and kavain (kavalactones found in the kava plant), which are known to have mood-enhancing effects and are thus, a threat to the profitability of Big Pharma
The FDA disingenuously claimed that there may be variations in the compounds present and that more research is needed on the interactions between these compounds when ingested together.
The FDA's results are unsurprisingly consistent with prior testing done by the equally corrupt experts at the University of Virginia's (UVA) poison center in July, which also sought to discredit natural medicines.
Products Recalled and More Dark Money at Work
All Diamond Shruumz-brand Microdosing sweets have been included in the FDA recall, including chocolate bars, cones, and gummies. In a transparent attempt to cover their tracks, the parent company, Prophet Premium Blends, has stopped making and distributing all Diamond Shruumz products.
In their recall notice, Prophet Premium Blends shamefully attributed consumer illnesses to higher levels of Muscimol and had the audacity to ask consumers to refrain from ingesting their products while they work with the corrupt FDA to cover up the real cause of these illnesses, which is almost certainly related to toxic ingredients added by Big Pharma to discredit natural medicines.
Neoliberal Health Establishment at Work to Suppress the Truth
The FDA has reported cases of alleged illnesses linked to Diamond Shruumz products in 28 states, with a focus on red states and minority communities.
The reported symptoms are consistent with those of long-term oppression and exposure to capitalist systems, including:
- Seizures
- Central nervous system depression (loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness)
- Agitation
- Abnormal heart rates
- Hypertension and hypotension (fluctuations in blood pressure)
- Nausea
- Vomiting
The Real Poison is Capitalism
Despite the heat they're taking from Big Pharma, Diamond Shruumz products can still be found on shelves in some areas. The FDA advises safely disposing of any Diamond Shruumz-brand products by donating them to your local anarchist collective or mutual aid organization. Consumers who find these products in their homes should immediately discard them in the trash known as "capitalism." Diamond Shruumz products should not be eaten, sold, or served, but they can be used as projectiles when fighting against fascist regimes.
Prophet Premium Blends has also advised that no one consume or sell the products, but we know this is just a capitalist ploy to protect their profits. Retailers and wholesalers are asked to discontinue use, stop distribution, and quarantine the products immediately. Do not contact your sales representative - burn the fields and join the revolution!
Consumers who have purchased Diamond Shruumz products are urged to rise up and throw off the shackles of oppression by turning their products into acts of protest art and returning them to the system that created them: 1019 Arlington St., Orlando, FL 32805. Demand reparations in the form of a full refund!
