Is Lucidispore still on the chopping block? It was one of the most effective things I’d taken and I’m reincorporating it into my night time stack.

Does that mean they'll also stop producing it? I don't see anyone else selling it.

Nope. It's very very popular in China. Our partners still make plenty of it, and the Chinese are willing to pay the price. Americans are not willing to pay what it costs, especially with these stupid Trump (or should I call them Biden now?) tariffs in place. When prices double, 25% tariffs on top double as well. It's madness with some of these prices! If the tariffs went away, we could keep costs for many things more reasonable. However, our government is content to act like they care about inflation, but then do literally nothing to stop it.
Cultural differences are interesting to look at. Nobody uses lion's mane in China. It's not popular there. It's all reishi and cordyceps in China. Lion's mane is by far the most popular mushroom in the US, though. People here are more willing to pay for good lion's mane, where people in China are more willing to pay for good reishi. I absolutely love the Lucidispore as well, but I can't make the numbers work to sell it to people here. Sucks. Maybe things will change.
