Red fly agaric, or rather the substance muscimol, which is found in the mushroom, may be classified as a narcotic.

This is proposed by the Public Health Agency, which wants to put a stop to selling candy and e-cigarettes containing the substance, reports P3 News.

The proposal to classify the psychoactive substance as a narcotic has been submitted to the government for decision.

Red fly agaric is used by alternative medicine groups and has become popular on social media. Users are at risk of hallucinations and coma.
