Counterfeit packaging for this shit is widely available on Amazon. A "Polka Dot bar" could literally be anything.
The "real" ones are likely just synthetic research chemicals. Another reason why people aren't particularly concerned about getting busted for it.
Real, good shrooms are extremely labor-intensive to produce. The grassroots gray market operates on a completely different level, even in NYC. Anyone buying a flashy box of psychedelic bullshit from a headshop or street vendor is just being a fucking clown.
To me, the real crime here is making "chocolate" that's flavored like fruity pebbles, cinnamon toast crunch, etc. But I guess it's appropriate to use fake chocolate for a product containing fake shrooms.
New York City is no better or worse than anywhere else. I can think of plenty of less densely populated regions, on higher ground, that are just as precariously balanced. Our entire civilization runs on the same unsustainable precepts. But whatever. You want to do the Travis Bickle routine, I guess that's your prerogative.

Oh, yeah, you should definitely go for vacation if you want to.
I think it's a great place to visit for someone who's been locked up. They've just got way too much going on right now, and can't be bothered with what the plebes are up to. They'll find just about any excuse they can to NOT lock someone up. Or even acknowledge that a minor infraction occurred. Plus, you just can't have that many people coexisting without a live-and-let-live attitude amongst the populace.
You might be surprised how much people know and partake of the entheogens in NYC. It's a huge city so there's always room for clowns, but also lots of OG artistic types and people who use the herb and the fungus to get through their crappy work weeks. It's also a place for a meeting of the minds from all around the northeast.
Walking into a storefront to buy drugs in NYC is really just catering to instant gratification. Anyone with a tiny bit of time on their hands, and the bare minimum amount of social skills and street smarts, can pretty much get whatever they want via word-of-mouth.
It's the greed writ large that makes it hellish, but also the daily kindnesses and courtesies of the common folk that make it livable.

I haven't tried Polka Dots, but I have tried other brands. In my experience, it's easy to tell if you have a legit bar - you can both smell and taste cubensis when you eat it, despite the chocolate. That, plus the lack of a bitter, metallic taste (typical of RCs), means you likely have a good bar.
And I'm guessing those are "counterfeit." I just don't see a flashy place in Oakland shipping cubensis-laden chocolate bars nationwide with no intervention from the feds.
A brand that's local to CA or Oregon would be slightly different, I imagine.
