In a startling move, Instagram has twice removed the Moms on Mushrooms (M.O.M.) account, now over 35,000 followers strong, citing “community guideline” violations for sharing psychedelic education content. Founded by Tracey Tee in Denver, M.O.M. empowers distressed mothers seeking alternatives to antidepressants through microdosing psilocybin.

• Second Strike: Just one week after returning, Instagram pulled the account again, interrupting Tee’s mission to connect moms in crisis with harm-reduction tools and peer support.

• Educational Focus: Unlike sketchy sellers, M.O.M. provides science-backed courses, safe-use guidelines, and a compassionate community for mothers feeling “numb” or “stuck.”

• Advocacy at Risk: With federal law still classifying psilocybin as Schedule I, Instagram’s bans threaten to silence a critical resource at a time when state decriminalization (CO, OR) is expanding access.

• Call to Action: Tee has filed an appeal but warns against relying on unstable social platforms. She’s urging moms to join Circle (just $2/month) for reliable support—and pushing Instagram to recognize psychedelics education as legitimate, life-saving content.
  

As the battle over deplatforming and psychedelic stigma heats up, Tee’s fight highlights the urgent need for open dialogue and the dangers of silencing voices working to destigmatize alternative mental health solutions.
