OMG! Does no one know the legality of mushrooms in Canada?

I know This has been asked a trillion of times but I refuse to believe that not one person on this sight is taking the risk of cultivating mushrooms containing psilocybin and psilocin without knowing the laws in Canada and the US.

Ive searched this sight for an answer and in all the posts ive seen people say its in "the grey area" or its just a slap on the rist or you will have probation for 3 years. No one can say for 100% what the laws are. Government websites arent much of a help either because none mention the penalties only the schedule of the drug and the fact that its illegal.

So If someone could please just tell me what the laws and penalties for sure that would be wonderful, or if you could direct me to a website with viable information.

It would be production of a schedule III substance, and yes, jail time is a definite possibility. If tried as an indictable offense, you face a maximum of 10 years imprisonment. If tried as a summary offense, you face a maximum of 18 months imprisonment.

Honestly, I doubt you would face up to 10 years imprisonment, 18 months..maybe

I personally have known people to get caught with quite a bit of drugs and be let off will little to nothing...also weed growers don' get much time at all, and although I have never known a mushroom grower to be caught

Canada definitely is a little more relaxed than our neighbors to the south..but it all depends on the lawyers/judges/prosecutors present at the time ;

I really don't see you getting any more than 5 or so years probation (if you have no record) or maybe a year or two jail time if you have a record

but if you want a certain answer you can always try and call a lawyer like Alan Rockefeller suggest in a previous thread

That depends on what kind of mood the judge is in, how large your grow is and what else they find.

If you want a real answer, contact a lawyer in your area that deals with drug cases and ask him what type of sentence his clients typically receive for that offense.

I tried that in my area (California) and a respected psychedelics lawyer (RGB) told me that his clients nearly always get probation unless there are aggravating factors.
