Magic mushrooms found in schools [NZ]

It appears the only danger of magic mushrooms is being caught with them or eating a toxic look-alke...
Magic mushrooms found in schools May 30, 2008 - stuff.co.nz
North Shore police are warning of the risks of magic mushrooms after a 17-year-old student was arrested for the possession of the class A controlled drug.
Area commander inspector Les Paterson says police know magic mushrooms have been supplied to pupils of at least one local college.
"We are working with schools to stop it. I understand youthful curiosity, so I’m appealing to parents and teachers to keep an eye out."
He says supplying the mushrooms to another person is a very serious criminal offence.
"A conviction would prevent most overseas travel and limit employment prospects."
At this time of year the mushrooms are found growing wild, Mr Paterson says
He says the small blue meanies and golden top mushrooms contain hallucinogenic chemicals.
"They have a powerful mind-altering effect similar to LSD that lasts four to six hours," he says.
Every year there are cases of poisoning from the look-alikes, many of which are toxic – especially the deathcap mushroom, he says.
He says this has been a bumper season and depending on the weather it should end later next month.

Of course, cause the non-harmful ones get you HIGH!!!!!!!!! I don't know if I'd rather be that or dead; I'm glad Uncle Sam makes these choices for me.

Im not one to usually agree with these articles, but how is that wrong?
I'd say they have effects similar to LSD, and that duration sounds about right to me.
