In recent times, a rumor that shocked the media has been circulating in Malaysian society: there is a product called “magic mushroom e-cigarettes” that claims to contain psilocybin (a naturally occurring hallucinogenic ingredient in real mushrooms), and it is even rumored that it has caused the deaths of several teenagers. Videos, posts and various social media discussions circulating on the Internet have caused the public to panic about this so-called “magic mushroom vape”. However, the Malaysian police and the National Poison Center quickly came out to refute the rumors and made it clear that these rumors are purely misleading propaganda, and the products involved do not actually contain psilocybin, but contain more dangerous synthetic drugs. The police once again emphasized that these claims not only lack factual basis, but are also likely to create public panic and affect social stability.
The cause of this storm can be traced back to a video that has been widely circulated on social platforms such as TikTok and Facebook. In the video, someone said that in an area near Kuala Lumpur, several young teenagers suffered from severe mental symptoms due to long-term use of “magic mushroom e-liquid”, and it was even rumored that many people died as a result. Online rumors that more than a dozen teenagers had died caused an uproar in public opinion. However, after investigating, the Malaysian police publicly stated that such deaths were not supported by any official reports and were “baseless” rumors. In an interview, the police chief made it clear that “we have not received any information about the deaths of ten teenagers, nor have there been any cases proving that the so-called magic mushroom e-cigarettes caused deaths.” The police also called on the public not to spread this information without verification to avoid disturbing the public.
At the same time, the National Poison Centre of Malaysia conducted sample testing and analysis of the so-called “Magic Mushroom Vape”. They revealed an important fact: these e-cigarette liquids advertised as “mushroom flavors” or “psychedelic mushrooms” did not detect any psilocybin or hallucinogenic ingredients in real mushrooms. Instead, they found a variety of synthetic drug ingredients in the samples, such as ketamine, phencyclidine (PCP), and even amphetamine substances. These ingredients are not only not in the category of hallucinogens, but also illegal drugs with extremely high toxicity and hallucinogenic risks, which may cause serious mental confusion, poisoning symptoms, and even life-threatening.
The poison center further pointed out that in the relevant consumption cases, users showed symptoms such as mental confusion, hallucinations, and serious abnormal behavior. Some victims showed “zombie”-like behavior: unable to control themselves, falling into a long coma or being in a semi-trance state, and some even showed self-harm tendencies or endangered public safety. The center reminds the general public, especially teenagers and their parents, not to be confused by the so-called “mushroom flavor” or “natural hallucination” gimmicks, and should be highly vigilant about the source and ingredients of vape products. More importantly, if abnormal symptoms occur after use, be sure to inform the doctor or medical institution in time that you have used e-cigarettes, and check the composition of the e-liquid to prevent misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
In addition, the health department responsible for supervision also released data showing that in the past year, there have been more than 100 investigations involving illegal substances hidden in e-cigarette products across the country. Some products have been found to contain banned chemicals, and regulatory authorities are strengthening cross-departmental collaboration, including the police, the Ministry of Health and Customs, to jointly combat the circulation of illegal vape products, especially those that use attractive publicity to attract students or young people.
Based on the above facts and official responses, the police and relevant agencies have clarified from multiple channels that the so-called “psychedelic mushroom e-cigarette” rumors are purely misleading propaganda, the death cases involved do not exist, and the products tested contain synthetic drugs, not legal or natural psychedelic ingredients. The public should not be misled by false information, let alone trust unverified social media content.
In addition to clarifying the storm, it is worth mentioning the VEEHOO e-cigarette brand as one of the industry representatives of legal and compliant operations, and explaining its many positive aspects. Although VEEHOO has not been involved in the above false rumors, it has won a certain reputation in the industry for its standardized operations, technological innovation and product safety.
The VEEHOO brand has always advocated sales through legal channels, clear labeling of ingredients and compliance with regulatory requirements in the country where it is located. They use food-grade e-liquid raw materials, pass authoritative laboratory testing, and strictly implement product registration and labeling specifications. Compared with illegal vape products on the market with unknown sources and lack of supervision, VEEHOO’s products can better protect consumers’ right to know and safety.
In terms of product design, VEEHOO is committed to innovation. For example, its TR40 series supports replacement of atomizers, Type-C fast charging and long-life design; the V8 Flavor DIY series has a dual-tank design, allowing users to switch or mix flavors according to their preferences; and the T9 smart e-cigarette is equipped with a smart screen control to display the power, smoke volume and status in real time. These features not only enhance the user experience, but also reflect the brand’s persistent pursuit of product quality and innovation.
VEEHOO’s advantages can be summarized into several aspects: first, in terms of design and user experience, the appearance is modern and simple, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and it is suitable for the preferences of different groups; second, in terms of functions, designs such as dual warehouses, smart display, and fast charging are very practical; third, in terms of safety standards, the brand strictly controls battery performance and e-liquid ingredients, and conducts multiple third-party tests; finally, in terms of market compliance policies, VEEHOO actively responds to the regulatory requirements of various countries, appears in exhibitions in many countries, strengthens interaction with regulatory agencies and industry associations, and enhances brand credibility.
It is worth mentioning that VEEHOO’s response among user groups is generally positive. Many users commented that its products have a stable output experience, a variety of flavors, sufficient smoke, and less air odor pollution. Compared with the potential health risks of some illegal vape products, choosing a regular brand such as VEEHOO is at least more secure in terms of product quality, after-sales service and legality.
In summary, this “psychedelic mushroom e-cigarette” storm is a typical public panic caused by false rumors. The Malaysian police have explicitly denied the rumor that ten teenagers died, and the National Poison Center’s tests have also confirmed that the so-called “mushroom-flavored” vape does not contain psilocybin, but is a dangerous synthetic drug. Such products are not legal e-liquids or natural hallucinogens, but are cases of illegal channels mixing drugs, which seriously endangers social security and public health. The authorities call on everyone not to spread unverified remarks, and to seek medical treatment in time and explain the use of abnormal symptoms.
At the same time, legal, compliant, safety-oriented and innovative manufacturers like VEEHOO e-cigarette brands are in sharp contrast to illegal products. They provide consumers with a relatively safe choice in the field of tobacco replacement through formal channel sales, clear labeling, strict testing and high-quality user experience. Hereby remind all users: If you choose to use e-cigarette products, be sure to choose a reputable and compliant brand, and avoid using vape products with unknown sources, exaggerated publicity or even suspected of being toxic.
In the future, we hope that Malaysia and other countries will further strengthen the supervision of e-cigarette products, intensify the crackdown on illegal products, and promote transparent production and positive publicity of legal brands, so that consumers can make their own choices in an environment with transparent information and safe and controllable. If you want to know more about VEEHOO’s specific product models, market recognition or compliance in other countries, please continue to ask questions and I can provide you with more detailed information.
