These Diamond Shruumz edibles, made by Santa Ana-based Prophet Premium Blends, are being recalled. The products have been linked to 113 illnesses and 42 hospitalizations — and possibly two deaths. (Image courtesy of the Food and Drug Administration) Products made by Santa Ana-based Prophet Premium Blends, and sold under the Diamond Shruumz brand, have been linked to 113 illnesses and 42 hospitalizations in the U.S., according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s latest outbreak report.

The agency is also investigating two potentially related deaths.

Those products contain synthetic psilocybin, a chemical used by scientists and drug companies and now showing up in illicit “magic mushroom” edibles that are making consumers sick.

On Thursday, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said that two local illnesses were tied to products purchased locally.

“People should not eat, sell, or serve any flavors of Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars, cones, or gummies, and should discard products that have been purchased,” the agency said.

In June, the FDA tested two Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars and found they contain a compound called 4-acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, also known as 4-acO-DMT. One of the products also contained several compounds found in the kava plant . Diamond Shruumz products were recalled in June after making people sick. Severe symptoms include central nervous system depression (loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness), agitation, abnormal heart rates, hyper/hypotension, nausea, and vomiting. (Provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) Local experts say synthetic psilocybin is pervasive in so-called mushroom edibles sold at head shops throughout Colorado and the U.S. Not only is that misleading — 4-acO-DMT does not occur naturally in psilocybin mushrooms — it’s also potentially dangerous when you consider the hazardous chemicals needed to create synthetics. In the underground, manufacturers aren’t subject to oversight that ensures their products are safe for human consumption.

Diamond Shruumz edibles were sold at 50 stores in Colorado before being recalled, and other similar products are likely still available. “]The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are still investigating the link between Diamond Shruumz products and the illnesses, which include symptoms such as seizures, abnormal heart rate and vomiting.
