8145 Posted August 29, 2012 Hi Just to know more about it and hope you guys can help I have a friend who wants to know what would be the legal implications of getting busted with some mushrooms (lets say a mono tub) not selling just growing ? In NSW ? I heard the implication can be quite harsh... Cheers guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted August 29, 2012 Put it this way, your friend would be better off if he got caught selling than growing. I think it's most likely that your friend would be charged with the manufacture of a prohibited drug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myco Posted August 29, 2012 As far as I know it's classified as manufacturing a class A drug Wich is basically the same as being caught cooking meth or something Wether they would take it that far with penalties is questionable but you could potentially be in a whole lot of shit if you were to be caught Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted August 29, 2012 This is an interesting link... http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/dmata1985256/sch1.html . It is in alphabetical order, so scroll down to P ... 'Psilocybin'. My motto is "if you don't want to do the time...Don't do the crime" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted August 29, 2012 it odd how something dear to my heart and great for the community could be treated like something as destructive as meth etc. i sure do live in retard-land! this is why nature grows and provides me with those treats with the right time of year / climate. also a bonus is, when i walk, pick and eat them, i am not only getting rid of any evidence LOL but also happen to be at the right place for the next few hours.. the bush =) when did a few mushrooms become such dramma anyhow? we always used to pick them as kids and no cop ever gave a shit about it. looks like logic has forever lost this world. a real shame. if it were not for mushrooms, i likley would have never gotten to a point where i care so much for my community. what next for australia? start burning books too? LOL australia.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goneski Posted August 29, 2012 Spot on. Not trying to take this off topic -- but Psilocybin is less toxic than Aspirin, ffs.. And there are several studies showing it has an extremely good safety profile. It seems to consistently rate at the bottom of the scale as far as harm goes. Fucking over this country. I suppose it's banned in many countries, but Australia especially seems to be harsh with drug laws. Could be worse though -- like Indonesia. But that's cold comfort, really. "Do the crime and do the time" is also a bullshit attitude. I'm not advocating breaking the law, but how the hell are we supposed to respect such stupid laws? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted August 29, 2012 i think amz was being a bit tongue in cheek, remorseless criminal that she probably is. plus she told me so. yeah it could be worse. straight up death sentence *stunned stupid emoticon* 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r2pi Posted August 29, 2012 Dont laugh, the australian proposed firewall is the modern day version of book burning... Not just the modern version of it. We still ban books in this country. Have a read of TiHKAL for an interesting anecdote about this. Fuckin joke. We only live in "democracy" insofar as we are free to choose every few years between a couple of idiotic stooges who both stand for nothing but election. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted August 29, 2012 Dont laugh, the australian proposed firewall is the modern day version of book burning... this is laughable to... in todays day and age relating to info on the net being accesable to everyone, why firewall it? this info has been available in books in any library in this land for well over 60 years.. ban public libraries too? amost the info out there telling how to make this and that, there is info on dangers of things too and how to protect myself. it has saved me a few times already. no, i dont make illegal things either. there will always be fools around that will do such things, with, or without net availability. the real loss here will be good people with legit needs to info. just ANOTHER backwards step by Australia! like noise laws on motorbike pipes, my stock pipe too quiet, almost cleaned up at least 3 times a week. now, louder pipe (moddified for respect to neighbours and other road users - made quieter) no issues yet for over 4 years). there are thousands of examples of illogical laws that do little but increase the dangers they were meant to reduce. how to fix this delema? get the idiots who make these laws out of the books, and into the real world, just for a day at least.

r2pi Posted August 29, 2012 P.S. the whole idea of "mushrooms" and "busted" in the same sentence is just absurd to me. How the hell can those retards claim the right to ban another organism? Thankfully Psilocybes are among the most common of pioneer species in most parts of Aus. No need to grow them. Totalitarian efforts to control them are as futile as trying to ban grass or oxygen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted August 29, 2012 when australia can get concrete cheap enough none of this will be a problem. picture it... a land of concrete, where nothing can grow. no bush, no animals, no food, no air etc. yeah, that'll stop the odd person here and there from eating a mushroom that will benifit them, those around them, and the community as a whole! bless them!

Yes, it is a stupid law, but it IS the law .....and i am a law abiding citizen...heck, i wont even J walk (insert winking gnome smiley icon here) Risking getting busted for growing magic mushrooms is not on my list of things to do, you know, since i have young kids to care for. I can just hear them now, telling the teacher at school that their mum is doing time for growing shrooms . So yeah, i am not prepared to do the time and worry about the welfare of my children, so i wont do the crime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BentoSpawn Posted August 29, 2012 Risking getting busted for growing magic mushrooms is not on my list of things to do, you know, since i have young kids to care for. Respect... kids definitely come first ! It is definitely not worth the risk, ill stick to microscopy and growing legal edibles personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Numina Posted September 2, 2012 In no way condoning anything illegal, but I cant see how the hell anyone would know. I've never had a random visit from even the local council about some DIY plumbing I might have done. I'd never do any dodgy plumbing BTW . Unless your friend is "known", I would have thought the chances of detection would be negligible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless your friend is "known", I would have thought the chances of detection would be negligible. It doesn't take much for the word to get around. Some people like to brag, and that's usually how they go down. All it can take is giving a friend some 'shrooms, who then gives a few to another friend, and says he got them from such and such...then the friend tells another friend and so on and so on. It can be like Chinese whispers, and before you know it, people think you have a grow room full 'shrooms. My other motto is... "loose lips sink ships" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
