 Medical student accused of dealing mushrooms [Evansville]

An Indiana University medical student studying in Evansville is accused of growing and selling psilocybin mushrooms.
Derek Turner, 24, was arrested Monday at his West Side apartment. Turner, who is scheduled to make an initial court appearance today, is facing a preliminary charge of dealing a schedule I controlled substance.
Speaking to authorities shortly after his arrest, Turner reportedly told them "he has an undergraduate degree (in) biology and wanted to see if he could grow psilocybin mushrooms," the affidavit said.
Evansville Police Department officers began investigating Turner after receiving information on his alleged mushroom operation from a confidential informant, according to the affidavit.
The informant, who police said admitted buying mushrooms from Turner on several occasions, told authorities Turner at one point had mushrooms growing in a fish tank in his apartment, 5611 Calle Las Colinas, and that he would dry them himself before selling them.
Authorities worked with the informant, who reportedly owed Turner money for mushrooms purchased last month, to set up a meeting to pay the money back under police surveillance, the affidavit said.
During the meeting, Turner reportedly told the informant he was no longer going to produce the mushrooms because he was "spooked" by the recent arrest of a suspect who the informant had resold them to, according to the affidavit.
After the meeting was completed, officers with the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Joint Task Force arrested Turner and searched his apartment. According to the affidavit, they found 4.2 grams of marijuana, two grinders containing an unknown powder substance, two smoking pipes, potting soil, mason jars and lids and a fish tank. Police also reportedly seized more than $600 from the defendant, including the money paid by the informant.
Bond has not yet been set for Turner.

Good thing they got that bastard. He sounded dangerous. He may not be able to get his degree in medicine now. Like we need more doctors.

Wow... thats fucking sad. I guess if he was growing and selling you are stepping into dangerous territory, especially since he was selling to a complete douchebag narc.
Thats fucked up, but perhaps his trial wont be too bad since there was no actual mushrooms found?

Amazing how these big pharm companies get away with selling opiates that are close to heroin and amphetamines for hyperactive children yet someone growing mushrooms gets jailed.
Its a fucked up system.

Actually ritalin and a lot of other add meds are straight amphetamines. And in California if you tell your doctor that your medication is making you lose your appetite and such, you can get a medical card to buy your own marijuana.

so the narc got fronted the mushroom (which he most likely asked or beg for it) and sold it to another guy. that guy got busted and spooked the grower which made him stop growing. then the narc came back and paid the grower the money so they can bust him. and the narc gets away free. even though he bought and sold mushrooms just like those guys. i guess only cops can break the law.
seem to me the cops the bad guy here.

Not to nitpick but Ritalin isn't an amphetamine. Adderall on the other hand, is a racemic mixture of different isomers of amphetamine.

The thesis that I want to advance today is that the drug war and the laws that prohibit the private consumption of certain drugs are unconstitutional. Prohibition laws, themselves, violate every tenet of limited government that is embodied in our Constitution.
