[NZ] - 'Magic mushroom traffic chicanes must go'

I don't know why the fuck there is so much mushroom related news around here lately but I've just seen this one from a couple weeks back that wasn't posted. This sucks, it's in the same city I'm staying in currently and the best spots are all very public but abundant at the moment...
http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/3696952/Magic-mushroom-traffic-chicanes-must-go
A Palmerston North man has threatened to pour concrete over council-installed traffic chicanes because he believes magic mushrooms are growing there.
The man, who did not want his name used for fear of retribution from drug users, said he had seen people pick magic mushrooms from traffic chicanes near his Moheke Ave home.
The chicanes, designed to reduce speed, feature bark-lined gardens and plants.
"You get all of these deadbeats digging up the bark looking for them," he said. "It's no good because there are kids around."
When he contacted the city council, a staffer told him a "course of action" had been taken.
"They come and pick them but they'll grow back the next day."
The man wants the bark to be removed or covered. "If they don't go and do something, I'll concrete over them myself."
Roading manager Graeme Tong said the council would take action if mushrooms were found on the chicanes.
Detective Sergeant Dave Thompson said magic mushrooms were not prevalent in Palmerston North, but had been found near Massey University in the past.
Mr Thompson said anyone who saw people suspiciously gathering mushroom should contact authorities.
MAGIC MUSHROOMS
Magic mushrooms, also known as shrooms, contain psilocin and psilocybin compounds, and are commonly found in North and South America, Asia, and Oceania.
Eating the mushrooms can cause hallucinogenic effects.
The effects take between 15 to 45 minutes to start and can last between three to eight hours.
They are a Class A drug in New Zealand and can incur a six-month jail term for possession and life imprisonment for supply.

What's next? People contacting authorities about folks driving around at a suspiciously late hour? Or about people suspiciously buying cough medicine? Give me a fucking break.

First step to declare nature illegal is done:
"Obama’s EPA Declares Carbon Dioxide Is An Air Pollutant"
Perhaps we will be all suspected to be terrorist just because of breathing..

Why is that grumpy old fuck getting his dentures in a knot? Have crazed mushroom addicts broken into his house and raped his dog repeatedly while injecting bleach into their eyeballs?

Seriously, this guy has nothing better to do but bitch about people picking wild mushrooms? And they have nothing better to report about? Must be a slow news day when you have to publish an article that basically goes like this, "Damn kids get off ma lawn!"

If I saw this guy destroying my patches I would probably follow him home, note his address, and come back in a few months to do something equally kind to his property.

"They come and pick them but they'll grow back the next day."
Maybe it's just me, but isn't that kind of an indicator of how fucking futile this type of shit is. What's next, lawns and landscaping have to go or he'll come concrete over your house?

as a resident of palmerston north, man this fucks me off!! i may have to be a little more careful when picking around roads. the most productive patches i know of are on main roads in this fuckin town (although i'm fortunately not one of those "deadbeats" that forages on mohaka ave, im a deadbeat that forages elsewhere).
i thought i saw some concrete in the garden during one of my walks today, didnt think any more of it.
..goddamnit
