Please move this topic if I placed it incorrectly.
So Ive been trying to figure out where I could eventually live, where these are legal.
And all I have been able to find are Florida and New Mexico. http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_law.shtml
Anywhere else?
how about countries?

Right so this is the problem I am running into, I can google and google forever, but the sources are all conflicting.
Some say there are no states where its legal, other sources say its only a few states.
So where or what is a good source for this information?
Isn't there at least one place where its legal?
I heard it was legal in Washington State, because they are so common. But Im sure Magic mushrooms grow commonly in many states.
So whats the bottom line? Where is it legal, either in the US or not..
I guess the real question is in what area or state do are they the most commonly found in. So even though the law may say they are illegal they are plentiful..

Yea, you can move it whereever it fits best.
But yes, if theres a state or country where it is legal, I will do my best to at some point live there.

I don't think it's legal by law to possess magic mushrooms in NM, but there was a court case that ruled that the growing of magic mushrooms was not considered producing a controlled substance, so I'm sure you would still have to keep it on the dl, but if you get caught, you could get a lawyer to use precedent to get your penalty reduced. Nothing's definite though, that's just what's been ruled before.

All drugs are legal in Portugal. Im not even kidding. They tried the scheme in 2001 to see if it would cut down their chronic class A drug problem, and it did, and it carries on today.

Pot is illegal though.

So the New Mexico rulling is void?
Or you can still grow them, just can't get caught with them on you?

In Florida (because of case law Fiske vs State of Florida) fresh picked mushrooms (even actives) are legal. Also, you must claim that you were picking edible shrooms for food and never admit to any knowledge of their psychoactivity. If you have dried active shrooms they are illegal.
Again this is case law. Also, anyone can be charged with anything. Of course our legal system's motto is innocent until proven guilty but real life can teach you otherwise.
I think one reason why fresh mushrooms don't catch a charge in Florida is because law enforcement doesn't know how to dry them out (store them properly). This is a guess though. I can picture someone's fresh cubes confiscated and stuck in a sealed plastic bag. Then when they call for the evidence - all they have is a pile of goo left

You can buy active mushrooms in some shops in Amsterdam. A bit far to move for a mushroom though.

Yes, but if they do catch you, you get the death penalty there.

They banned them about a year ago.

Fresh mushrooms are illegal in Florida if you admit knowing what they are. The Fiske decision only applies if you don't know what you have picked.
Quote:

Its because the drug laws specify that you need to have intent to possess the controlled substance. So if you don't know what you have, you are not guilty. Since most people can not ID mushrooms, the court assumes that you are innocent unless there is evidence that you know what you have. That evidence can take the form of dried mushrooms or a statement from the suspect stating that he was picking psilocybin mushrooms.
Quote:
they are legal in jamaica.
I think that is the correct answer.
Seems silly to move somewhere just so you can eat psilocybin mushrooms legally. They are legal everywhere if you don't get caught and keep it quiet. The vast majority of psilocybin mushroom users never get caught.

British Tortola may be something to explore..
I recalled reading something about mushrooms readily available on the beach, I can quote http://wikitravel.org/en/Tortola as saying "Mushrooms are legal in the British Virgin Islands. The native species grows in the hills and is available after rains, which occur throughout the year. Mushrooms are available at full moon parties, the right bars, and from casual purveyors. Although they are legal, many non-trippers frown on their use and it would be gauche to roam the town asking strangers for mushrooms. Rather, have a few drinks with a native or expatriate who seems to be of the right attitude and bearing before bringing up the topic. "
Whether or not that is entirely accurate, I dont know. I suppose it is possible that the British Isles dodged the mushroom ban a few years ago in the U.K. (I heard they used to be legal there.. ).
Aside from that, you may explore Portugal and/or Uruguay. In both cases an understanding of Spanish and/or Portugese will be required.
Do your research and make sure you are moving for the right reasons if you do decide to go through with it.
