Busted! Three important questions

busted for selling 2oz mushrooms to undercover cop. (set up by friend turned squealer)
They got me for damn sure. emails, texts, phone call. didn't really even question me much while arresting me they know they're good.
I kept my mouth shut, but I'm still fucked I believe.
so.
question one: are there mandatory minimum sentences for psilocybin? closest thing I can find is LSD,heroin, crack, all in the same class, which would get me 6 yrs MIN I think.
#2. how long will a police lab take to have a bag of mushrooms tested for psilocybin? in other words, how long am I free for?
#3. what might be a typical bail or bond be set at for this type of offense? no priors, clean record, low risk person. (I think mandatory minimums would fuck me here too?)
anyways, thanks for the summer of entertainment shroomery.
I should have just stuck to hunting and photography. this shit just ain't worth it
mods/admins please delete everything you can that I've posted. It would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about your situation .
Is it illegal to advertise on myspace that this person set you up?

Class x felony in my state mandatory minimum 6 to 30 years. Includes possession of anything more than 15g psilocybin containing material.
very little room for any legal maneuvering. as I understand it the only sure way to get anything reduced is give the prosecutor someone bigger to hassle.
I don't know anyone big, and I won't rat out my small time pot buddies.
I'm going to jail for sure. since I have nothing to offer,but a clean record, it will likely be 6 years, I'll serve three with good behavior.
3 years in state prison with fucking rapists and crack dealers for some stupid mushrooms. damn.

Not illegal, but that would be a bad legal move until the criminal case is decided.
You will not go to jail for 6 years, but they will probably put you in for one or two after the plea bargain. Nothing worth running away over.
Get a good lawyer. Perhaps enrolling in drug treatment now would help your case. If they drug test you regularly and you can show that you are clean, that is good. Stay employed, if you are unemployed get a job before your case goes to court.
Get a haircut and wear a suit to court. Don't get caught with anything in the meantime. Stop smoking weed.
Its going to suck but don't do anything crazy - in 5 years this will be a distant memory. Focus on the future a few years down the line.

Unlikely. First time offender with a clean record... they will want to scare you, but have no reason to send you to prison. With a good lawyer, they will plea down to something that gives you a record and has a few years of probation, a fine, and a couple hundred hours of slave labor, er community service.

Yep. A 6 year minimum is not hard and fast. You could get 6 years suspended (don't actually have to serve it) or you could get a withheld judgment. Likely you might get 6 years with 5.5 suspended, then do 6 months in jail (not prison).
Get a good lawyer. Not just a good one but one that does this type of case and has good experience in getting reduced sentences. Best way is to call around and ask for recommendations.

Thanks for the info guys. You're making me feel a little better.
Talked to a lawyer, the six year min would be if I went to trial and was convicted. don't think that's gonna happen.
The lawyer can't make any guarantees obviously, but claims he had a similar case a year ago dealing with Ecstasy instead of shrooms that ended up as 8 months house arrest, drug treatment, community service, and a huge fine. guy only spent three days in jail.
that seems to be a best case scenario.
I still haven't actually been charged with anything so it's tough to know what I'm up against. they're waiting for confirmation the shrooms actually contain an illicit substance.
Thing that's really pissing me off is they took my car, plan to seize it and auction it off. don't know if they've really searched it yet, but they might be able to add possession of marijuana if they scrape up all the crumbs that have fallen between the seats over the years.
we shall wait and see.
the wait is killing me.

There is no reason to take this to trial. They have you on tape so it would be pointless.

Yea something like that would be ok.

They will proceed soon.

Yes thats how these type of things work. Very difficult to fight that. You have to put up 10% of the value of the car to contest it, and if you do contest it you will lose. You could spend the money to have an extra bargaining chip, if you want. Basically, you pay to fight it, then offer not to fight it for a reduced charge.

Unlikely. They don't really care about that stuff at this point.

Ask the DA to prove you knew the actual amount of scheduled chemicals in the mushrooms - it does vary, no? Still at 2 ounces you're fucked.

And they'll laugh at you. Knowledge of the amount of controlled substance isn't an element of the crime.

I'm not sure if they will delete your posts or not, my guess is you will have to do it yourself. Just a reminder, don't post what you don't want archived for the rest of eternity. Google has its hands on your shit now.
