A chemistry lecturer in Israel's north was reportedly arrested on Monday on suspicion of growing a large amount of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Police searched the house of the lecturer, a doctor in chemistry aged 41, after receiving a tip from one of the state security services, YNet.com reported. There, they found a laboratory complete with an irrigation system and electricity, flowerpots in which mushroom seeds had been planted and were growing, as well as dried, packed mushrooms.
According to police, the suspect admitted during his interrogation to growing what he called "magic mushrooms," saying he bought the spores in Canada, and that while he had used this drug in the past, he no longer does. In addition, the report said, he claimed never to have sold any of the mushrooms.
Police suspect the lecturer of cultivating an illegal drug and possession with intent to distribute, due to the large amount of mushrooms found, the report said. The police added that this was the first time they have encountered a large laboratory of this sort in Israel's north.
After his short interrogation at the Lev Hagalil police station, in Carmiel, the lecturer was taken to the Acre Magistrates Court, where his remand was extended until Thursday.

"flowerpots in which mushroom seeds had been planted and were growing"
I lost it on that sentence.

This is really sad for that professor. His life is essentially ruined/over. The only thing he might be able to do is leave the country and apply to teach somewhere else. Even then, if his new employer calls his former employer, the reason might come out.
What a shitty thing to happen. I feel so bad for that guy.

Actually, many countries will not allow you to enter at all if you have a criminal record, including drug conviction...

its a crime to punish those who take up a hobby of growing a fungi, the more people growing mushrooms the better in general, i'm not just talking for the drugs. I'm talking like people in the culture. it takes a bit of discipline to grow.
and especially given that this guy was a chemist, these things should be expected, i mean dealing with alkaloids and plants is a big part of the act of chemistry. it's not all just lab work.
when you apply chemistry to life, you can see it on a microcosmic scale. which leads into biology and molecular biology.
the more help in those field of research the better human lives can get.
but granted this occurred in Israel, they're not exactly known to be all that tolerant of drugs in general. just the culture there.
i mean I'm sure theres a counter culture there but less so than America
