Tampa Bay is leading the way

Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary

The first ever US mushroom dispensary has officially arrived — and it’s right here. The Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary, first reported by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, located at 1714 E 7th St., is now offering an inventory of mushroom merchandise for Tampa natives to purchase.

Store owner, Carlos Hermida, has been a business owner in the Ybor City district since 2018, according to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. He’s excited to sell wares like Magic mushrooms and fly agaric, after advocating for hemp products in the community.

Carlos and the team aims to help customers reach a happy, zen state + use responsibly. They’re also passionate about educating the community regarding usage.
