“As a company, we are very optimistic about the high-potential functional mushroom category and the psychedelic sector as a whole. We continue to invest and expand our operations in Jamaica, the only country where the cultivation, extraction, and sale of psilocybin mushrooms are allowed. Above all, consumers are increasingly interested in incorporating mushrooms into their wellness routines. Through our propagation operations, psychedelic wellness retreats, and retail locations, our goal is to make mushroom-based products, experiences, and education accessible at a time when so many people are struggling with mental health and other issues,” said Douglas K. Gordon, CEO of Silo Wellness.
The companies said they would create a “smart store” that will be home to “psychoactive mushroom products, such as tinctures, capsules, topicals, and edibles, as well as literature and boutique accessories”.
Jonathan Rakic, COO of Mushe Inc., added: “We are looking forward to introducing Jamaican residents and tourists to the various health and wellness benefits of functional and psychedelic mushrooms - one smart store at a time.”
The announcement comes after the government's decision to implement changes in the country's cannabis policy
The Minister of State for Industry, Investment, and Commerce, Norman Dunn, announced that the Jamaican government is working quickly to make significant changes to the provisional regulations that were enacted in 2015.
