Linden Hills Man Charged for "Magic Mushrooms"
He told police he prefers the effect of mushrooms to other psychedelic drugs, according to the criminal complaint.
By Jon Collins May 16, 2011

Two Minneapolis police officers had detained two people for drinking under the Hennepin Avenue bridge on May 9 when Ryan Avalon, 28, approached. Police heard him yell, "Hey guys," after which they believed he was going to urinate on the side of the bridge, according to the criminal complaint.
After a short pursuit, police searched Avalon's backpack and allegedly found 196.8 grams of mushrooms. Avalon told them that they were magic mushrooms and that he bought them for $200 an ounce, according to the complaint.
A forensic scientist from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension identified them as "hallucinogenic mushrooms."
Avalon, who has no criminal history, faces up to 25 years for possession of a controlled substance in the second degree. He was released from custody with no bail. His first court date is June 7, 2011.

I have paid $200 for an oz. before. With bulk u think it'd be cheeper though. $200 an oz is a lot though and I no longer buy mushrooms : )

I'm just in shock honestly. First we have first-class-dumbass walking under a bridge with 6 Oz of boomers in his bag who wants to take a leak. But do you have to get the cops attention while you do it!?!
So he faces 25 years and they let him go with no bail. Think I would find a new place to reside ASAP.....

I'm guessing that he had eaten a good big handful out of that half pound.

My thoughts too. I've read stories about similar scenarios. One was a florida man who had a zip lock bag full of fresh cubes in his pockets and was trippin balls walking down a road when police were cruzing by. They would have drove right past him had he no actually flagged them down to pronounce he was tripping mega balls and carrying. I get the whole I wanna be open to the whole world on shrooms feeling but, fucking cops?
I mean seriously.

reminds me of the time I was walking around the same city block repeatedly tripping balls with a sackful of shrooms in my pocket.
I would've gone somewhere else except I couldn't figure out what i was doing

I can totally see how that can happen while tripping. You're just having such a great time. Man would that be a buzzkill though.

I've had multiple buddies facin the same possible sentence and they always get probation. White shroomheads generally don't go to prison. Fortunately, judges tend to use their discretion when sending druggies to jail. Not that it's fair, but if this would have been a black dude with any drug, I'd be betting against probation.

Why would you fuck around when you've got almost a pound and a half of shrooms in your bag?
I wish we could read more articles about smart people and how they do things but only the dumbasses get caught.
Long hair, big beard, dazed and confused demeanor and then implying you're gonna take a piss on a bridge...still is too much for the pigs. It's like a black dude cruising down the highway at 80mph in a cadillac escalade with kilos in the back
