McLeansboro man gets four years for dealing psychedelic mushrooms March 17, 2011 - courierpress.com
The first psychedelic mushroom case investigated by the Carmi-based Southern Illinois Drug Task Force has netted a McLeansboro, Ill., man four years in prison.
Nathan W. Irby, 28, entered a guilty plea Thursday to a felony charge of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and was sentenced to four years in prison.
“Irby delivered Psilocybin mushrooms to an undercover confidential informant on April 29, 2010, along with cannabis,” said Hamilton County State’s Attorney Justin Hood. “His wife, Trina, was a co-defendant in an undercover drug operation conducted by the Southern Illinois Drug Task Force.”
Irby’s wife, Trina, entered a guilty plea in October to a charge of unlawful manufacture of marijuana and was placed on probation for 30 months.
Nathan Irby is being held in the White County jail at Carmi pending transport to state prison.

I can't help but read that line and I then imagine reading it about 100 years from now. It just sounds so ridiculous to be throwing someone's life away and giving them prison time for this. We are still living in such primitive times it's really mind boggling how similar things are to the days of slavery just a hundred and fifty years ago. We haven't progressed all that much and I'm getting tired of it.

Because the lawmakers themselves are Sexual Predators probably not mushroom users. So which crime do you think they will give the more lenient punishment? The crime they themselves are most likely to commit!

Yes. Sentencing guidelines for psychedelics are completely out of line with the social "harm" they cause. The problem is one of deterrence. The penalties are really more to discourage manufacture and sale.
I've said this OVER and OVER. Mushrooms and DMT can be produced FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY so covertly and inexpensively by the end-user they should never have to be bought and sold. Keep your profile LOW and your mouth shut and you should never end up like this poor fellow.
If he was merely BUYING pot, it would have been simple possession, and again, the penalty would have been trivial. If the defendant here only possessed sufficient mushrooms he could justify as for personal use, again, I DOUBT he would have gotten jail time at all. Sale was the reason for the jail time. Look at how easy they went on the wife.
The sad thing is he looks like a nice guy.

I was thinking that too.
4 years? In America? For ****ing dealing?
He did very well. I'd have thought you'd get more than that for a personal supply. He'll probably be out in 3 or something too, I dunno.

He'll get day for day for good behavior just like everyone else does and he could possibly be parolled to house arrest even earlier than 2 years. He most likely will just do the 2 years unless he's an idiot and doesnt behave and fucks up his "good time".

Okay, I know we are not supposed to incriminate ourselves here, but honestly, I bet most people here have given away (for free and/or $), shrooms to other people. With mushrooms it is pretty much impossible to grow and/or forage enough for just one person to eat.
I wonder how this undercover managed to persuade him into a drug deal. What was undercover officers motivations were?

shit like this pisses me off, this kid that used to live by me robbed a house, fled police, had a 4 hour stand off with them while he was hiding in a cemetary armed with a weapon disobeying police commands to come out with his hands up and guess what he got? 4 years probation and if he completes it he gets all the felonys expunged. Then this guy gets 4 years for mushrooms fucking bullshit
