Mushy Laws

[radars]

Growing shrooms falls under the cultivation/production of a hallucinagen. In WA, the minimum penalty if $3000 or 1 year in jail, which is fucking serious stuff for only a cake or 2.

 

If your growing MJ and selling, or if ppl know your growing then i wouldnt risk growing shrooms just incase you get raided. If your growing MJ for yourself and nobody knows about it, then sure give it a try. I grew both at the same time for over a year and probably lost about 20 years from my life

How illegal or what penalties apply to things like- Khat, salvia, peyote cactus etc?

[Pure]

all are classed as schedual 1 drugs and carry pretty much the same punishment , the leg you have to stand on with those others is that you can claim to grow them strickly for preservation and ornimental reasons which will let you off , ya gcan do that with shrooms really

they do allow the preservation of them but only in spore print form

[radars]

Not sure ferengi, never really had a chance to grow those so havent looked into penalties.

Khat is more of a stimulant that hallucinogen.

Peyote will def fall under halluc....but for both of those most wouldnt even know what they were looking at if you have a nice backyard full of all sorts of plants. May as well throw in some poppies too, just dont grow them in rows is the rule i think

I believe salvia has one of the highest rankings and serverity of punishments, but again throw it in your herb garden and nobody will know.

I don't think torsen would like the spreading of rumours that he sells schedualled items , he keeps his shop pretty up to date with the laws the only exception are loph seeds and poppies both of which are grow at your own risk and have rather large warnings

[StonermanDan]

in england they sell magic mushrooms in shops!

 

i miss shrooms

[Pure]

yeah th laws on them over here are definatly over harsh , but it is largly due to the abuse of magic mushrooms in america that we copped the laws

 

 

In england they are actuayl curretly reviewign the mushroom laws , because of the low level of regulation there is too many peopel hae been found to be abuseing it , and well this is when the governement normally steps in and schedualls an item which is what is happening over there

[trumpet]

Hey Pure, i am sure lophophora seed is not prohibited to sell or grow, only import is prohibited.

etc..

the rest...

 

But thats not all of it

here are indiscrepancies, contardictions and loopholes explored and unexplored

the law is never clear cut

which is why you should always keep your mouth shut and get a good lawyer

and dont compound the problem by having shrooms or other plants in your grow room!!!!

 

As far as why???

 

well australia automatically accepts the UN convention on narcotics and weve based all our drug laws on the most extreme anti drug propaganda

Australia has the most comprehensive antibotanical drug rules of any country i know

weve banned it all including compounds and therefore herbs many countries havent bothered to

Its fucked up

but it isnpires up to keep looking for nonscheduled plants ad compounds and so keep one step ahead
