Kids just need to get a hold of the real thing. These candies do not contain psilocybin rather a chemical cocktail meant to emulate its effects. I’ve tried the fake stuff and it sucks compared to real psilocybin.

Some of them are legal plant sources of DMT, and those ones are good. Of course they still advertise themselves as shroom bullshit though

DMT is not orally active unless you're on a MAOI, which is dangerous and could potentially explain the symptoms being described. I wouldn't trust any chocolate being sold as both psychoactive and containing DMT. You're either getting ripped off or taking something potentially very dangerous.

That's interesting, I have genes that basically mean I'm on a natural MAOI at all times. Should I stay away from DMT then? Is that why Salvia was such a hellish nightmare?

Definitely stay away from DMT unless you want to trip balls. You should probably be on a restricted diet too, MAO inhibition is not safe and eating things like cheese could potentially send you to the hospital. I would recommend consulting a doctor if you haven't, literally the wrong food can be life threatening so it is really something to take seriously. Also, Salvia is inherently a hellish nightmare for most people. It's a very weird drug that fucks with perception in such a fundamental way that it is very hard to have a good time.

Yes I am on a low tyramine diet, that is actually how I found out about my genes (migraines from tyramine lead to gene test). There are also several meds I can't take as well. But I had never known about DMT interacting with it.
