Detroit isn’t the only area in a craft distilling boom, with outfits popping up in seemingly every ZIP code. In fact, Southeast Michigan is now home to 78 distilleries. Many are serious about the Great Lakes State, sourcing a majority of their ingredients from local farms and making a point to use a variety of different grains in their vodka, gin, whiskey and other spirits. But others are taking a playful approach to the craft.

In the case of Detroit Speakeasy Weiss Distilling Co, the cocktail bar completely transforms its space with a new theme every few months to showcase the talents of the staff behind it. This summer’s “Weiss in the Wild” theme is a jungle adventure complete with flora, fauna and animal noises. Staffers even wear safari hats and glasses to match the theme.

While the theme doesn’t affect the quality of the cocktails, it adds an element of fun to the experience. For example, a few of the drink names are based on zoology, such as Topsy’s Revenge, a vodka-based cocktail with elderflower liqueur, cucumber, lemon juice, citric acid and lime bitters served in a tiki cup, or Grow A Girlfriend, a gin cocktail with rose amaro, cucumber, simple syrup, sourdough agave, lime and hellfire bitters — all topped with a chili salt rim.

The spring menu consists of 24 new, original recipe cocktails that are broken into categories for vodka, gin, rum and moonshine selections. There are also several spiritless mocktails and a selection of sodas made on-site.

With the legalization of mushrooms and other plant medicines on the horizon, people are seeking out more ways to experience these drugs. 3Amigos are turning to edibles to mask the mushrooms’ earthy flavor, which is often compared to dirt, and to make the experience more pleasant for those who might be reluctant to take on the trip without some help. The result is a growing market for psilocybin mushroom products that are blended into chocolate, gummies and tea.

Psychedelics can cause a wide range of psychological and physical effects, depending on the drug and the dosage. These can include hallucinations, feelings of euphoria or anxiety, and altered perceptions (carhart-harris & friston, 2020). Some people also have spiritual experiences during psychedelic use. Studies suggest that psychedelics can lead to changes in one’s mental schemes, such as shifting from a materialist or physicalist worldview to a more panpsychistic one.

While psilocybin-containing magic mushrooms are still a Schedule 1 substance, other fungi, such as Amanita muscaria, commonly known as fly agaric mushrooms, produce a similar effect and can be legally purchased at a number of CBD and plant wellness stores. Unlike psilocybin, though, they don’t contain the banned substance psilocin.

Because of this, they can be more readily available and are a safer alternative to psilocybin. However, consuming them comes with its own risks and should only be done in a safe and controlled environment, such as a home with familiar friends or family members. Similarly, polydrug use—taking more than one type of drug at the same time or one after another—can increase the risk of adverse reactions and can even be dangerous.
