Psilocybin mushrooms legal status in Florida?
    #9482853 - 12/23/08 11:52 AM (15 years, 3 months ago)

I was randomly googling and almost blew a load in my pants when I read this. "Psilocybin mushrooms are illegal in every state in the United States except Florida."

It continues to say. 

"Florida stands out because of a decision in 1978 in Fiske v Florida by the Florida Supreme Court which ruled that wild-picked psilocybin mushrooms could not be legally considered "containers" of psilocybin and thus would have to be specifically listed in Florida law by the legislature if they meant to make them illegal. Since the Florida legislature has not chosen to change the laws since then, wild Psilocybin mushrooms are presumptively legal to possess in Florida. This does not mean police won't arrest people for possession of even wild mushrooms, but this has been used as a successful defense against such charges."

Thoughts on this people? Is there a catch?

Source information here.

Quote:

In the United States, possession of psilocybin-containing mushrooms is illegal because they contain the Schedule I drugs psilocin and psilocybin. Spores, however, which do not contain psychoactive chemicals, are only explicitly illegal in California, Idaho, and Georgia. How the legality of spores is defined varies from state to state, for example in California mushroom spores are legal to possess if they are not intended for use in cultivation and/or they are not imported from outside California.[19] The Florida Supreme Court in 1978 ruled that possession of wild psilocybin mushrooms is not illegal;[20] however, whether knowingly gathering wild psilocybin mushrooms for later use is illegal or not was not addressed in the decision.


...from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_psilocybin_mushrooms#United_States...Still illegal under federal law.:shrug:

1 - it's fresh not dried
2 - it doesn't matter if they are legal in a state if the federal gov. says they're illegal then it's a federal crime

Tell that to all the people who have been arrested for possession after going hunting.

The Fiske v State precedent argument is a bullshit one.


Psilocybin mushrooms are not legal in Flordia.

The bottom line is, if you get caught with shrooms in FL you will get arrested.

Possibly, I assume you would still get arrested. Not trespassing is the key to picking shrooms legally. Make sure you are not trespassing and you are good. I went to school with tons of rednecks and I have a lot of friends with pastures and ranches. In the summer time I know at least 3 different pastures I could go to and not be trespassing. Man I miss the summer. Florida cubes are the best! I will find 150 mushrooms in one hunt.

just hope you dont get caught. and posting that you grow mushrooms on a public bulletin board probably isnt the best start to keeping your illegal hobby a secret
