With vaping growing in popularity among teenagers and young adults, there are many new types of vapes entering this questionably-regulated market. Brands are selling what they advertise as psychedelic mushroom vapes online directly to consumers.

But what's actually in these mushroom disposable vapes, and do they have a psychedelic effect? Are they dangerous? How do real users rate and describe their effects? And does vaping damage the lungs?

In this article we'll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in a leading mushroom disposable vape called Psyched to give our take on whether or not it's likely to have a psychedelic effect, and whether or not it's dangeorus.

We'll feature real user reviews, and discuss whether or not the practice of vaping is bad for the lungs.

Key takeaways:

• Concerns over ingredient disclosures
• Likely to have psychedelic effects
• We do not currently recommend mushroom disposable vapes

Ingredient Analysis

At the time of publishing this article, below is the only ingredient information for Psyched mushroom disposable vape:

This ingredient information does not change when you change products ("Lady Zaza," "Chronic Chaga," etc) which should be an immediate red flag to potential consumers.

Do these products really have the exact same ingredient and no flavoring ingredients or other additives to differentiate between the "strains"?

If the company is failing to publish full ingredient information, that would be a consumer safety issue.

The active ingredient does have psychedelic effects.

As we documented in our Road Trip Gummies review article, Amanita muscaria has been clinically shown to have four active hallucinogenic compounds.

Overall, we have safety concerns about this product and the potential lack of ingredient disclosures (for both active and inactive ingredients).

We do not currently recommend Psyched mushroom disposable vape.

Real People Try Mushroom Disposable Vapes

One of the most popular drug-related influencers on YouTube named Goblin shared his experience trying a mushroom disposable vape in a video with over 80,000 views: 

A YouTube creator named "SMOKIN' DONUTZZ" shared his experience trying the Tre House mushroom vape, another popular brand:

Is Vaping Dangerous?

The health effects of vaping are complex, because the actual practice of vaping seems to be healthier than smoking, but it's the questionable additives in vapes that may make it more dangerous in some cases.

A medical review published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health compared the health effects of vaping and smoking and concluded the following:

"Available evidence shows that, compared with smoking, vaping cannabis can reduce: exposure to several toxins, [carbon monoxide], and chronic respiratory symptoms while producing similar subjective effects, and hence might have the potential of harm reduction among habitual cannabis smokers."

However, the above review was comparing the effects of smoking or vaping the same dried herb.

Disposable electronic vapes like the mushroom vapes discussed so far in this article often have other ingredients like flavoring agents.

As we discussed in our Burst Bars review of a vitamin vape brand, flavoring additives and other inactive ingredients can significantly increase toxicity for e-vapes.

Overall, we consider vaping dried herb to be healthier than smoking it, but we consider using disposable electronic vapes with unknown additives to be more dangerous than either option.

Mushroom Disposable Vape Pros and Cons

Here are the pros and cons of mushroom disposable vapes in our opinion

Pros:

• Psychedelic effect (for those seeking that)

Cons:

• Unclear inactive ingredients
• May be damaging to the lungs
• Unclear if other active ingredients exist
• No mushroom vape company we came across published testing data

Conclusion

Like many of the new e-vape trends, we consider mushroom disposable vapes highly likely to be harmful to human health.

Not only are ingredient disclosures lacking or non-existent in some cases, the companies selling these products are, in our view, not doing so in a professional manner.

There is almost unilaterally no testing data showing what's exactly in these products, there's limited information about how they work, and there's limited or no dosing information regarding active ingredients.

While vaping dried cannabis may be healthier than smoking it due to the reduction in inhaled combustible material, we consider disposable e-vapes from these "magic mushroom" companies to be dangerous and worth avoiding.
