What we know, what we cannot guarantee, and why you need to check the rules yourself
Why this page exists
Shroomsy is an educational service and a grow kit shop selling kits containing Psilocybe cubensis mycelium. Our goal is to provide reliable, science-based information about psilocybin mushrooms in the spirit of harm reduction.
The legal status of psilocybin mushrooms, grow kits, spores, and mycelium varies dramatically by country, region, and sometimes even city, and it changes over time. What is legal today may not be legal tomorrow, and vice versa.
We are not a law firm and cannot track legislative changes in every jurisdiction. That is why this page focuses on Polish law, since Poland is our home jurisdiction and the jurisdiction under which our sales take place, together with pointers on what to check. Verifying the rules in your own country remains your responsibility.

Jurisdiction and place of sale
All orders placed through our store are processed and settled in Poland, regardless of the buyer's country of residence. This means the sale is carried out under Polish law, and Polish law governs the sales contract.
We operate fully legally and issue sales documents in accordance with applicable Polish tax rules.
Your responsibility as a customer
We deliberately do not publish a legal map or a country-by-country status table for grow kits, spores, or psilocybin mushrooms. Legislation changes faster than we could keep such content updated, the distinction between possession, cultivation, consumption, sale, and transport differs by jurisdiction, and quantity thresholds, definitions of "personal use", and penalties can differ even within a single country.
By placing an order, you acknowledge that it is solely your responsibility to verify that purchasing, importing, and possessing grow kits, spores, or mycelium complies with the law in your country. We do not provide legal advice and are not liable for shipments seized, delayed, or rejected by customs or other authorities.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order if we have reason to believe the products may be used in violation of applicable law.
