'Psychedelic mushroom' lab discovered in Rankin
July 16, 2008 - pittsburghlive.com
Hazmat crews were called to 205 Division St. in Rankin early Wednesday morning on a report of a possible methamphetamine lab.
Rankin police arrived at the house to serve one of the occupants with a warrant. The person was not home at the time, but police looked inside the house and said they saw suspicious activity.
“When they initially walked into a certain room up there, they saw tubing and a dehumidifier in the room -- all the things that are used to develop a meth lab,” Police Chief Ryan Wooten said.
Additional police, firefighters, paramedics and hazmat teams were called to the scene due to the potential danger presented by the lab.
If not handled properly, it could lead to a massive explosion.
But police said they found a hallucinogenic mushroom lab in the home instead.
“To put everybody at ease, it's not a meth lab,” Wooten said. “It is a lab we believe they were growing mushrooms in.”
Wooten said the people who lived in the house were growing mushrooms because it’s a cheap, easy way to get high.
Wooten said it’s also the first time in his 15-year career he’s heard of someone growing mushrooms inside his own house.
“Well, I guess that’s where we need to go when we make pizza, huh?” Wooten said.
However, residents in the neighborhood are not stunned by drug activity in the area.
“It doesn't surprise me. There have been so many drugs around here for so many years, it doesn’t make any difference what type it is,” said neighbor Kenneth Pierce.
Susan Pierce, a longtime resident, has also seen her share of problems in the area.
“Nothing amazes me that happens around here. I’ve been here for over 30 years and I’ve seen too much,” Pierce said.
Police took two people into custody and confiscated everything inside the lab.

who uses a dehumidifier for mushroom cultivation? It's nice how they begin by painting the picture of the mushroom "lab" as something that is incredibly dangerous.

Beer is a cheap, easy way to get high, shrooms take work and a long time, from what I've read on the issue.
There's a sale at my favorite liquor store, 1.75 liters of store brand 80 proof vodka for $9.50, now thats a cheap easy way to get high...........

Damn! I have a garden hose (tubing) and a dehumidifier in my garage... talk about weak PC (probable cause) for a home invasion search warrant.

Suspicious activity? Like what? Dust particles floating through the air? What crap!
