okay so there seems to be alot of debate on the law of growing.
If im correct, you can legally buy the spores. until you put them to grow? What about kits like these?

the spores themselves are legal. however if you cultivate them then you are carrying a container of psilocibin and psilocin, a schedule 1 drug under US law.

Buying spores = legal Buying spores for the purpose of growing shrooms = Crime: Attempt to manufacture a controlled substance Giving money to a friend for him to buy spores = Legal Giving money to a friend for the purpose of buying spores to grow shrooms = Crime: Conspiracy to manufacture a controlled substance + Attempt to manufacture a controlled substance Colonizing a PF jar = Crime: Manufacturing a controlled substance + Possession of a controlled substance. Asking your friend to grow shrooms = Crime: Solicitation Getting a shroom from your friend = Crime: Possession of a controlled substance

I don't see how that's legal in the UK. It even says it contains mycelium which means it has psylocybin in it...The site probably only exists because it isn't in the UK and is not subject to UK law.
I would caution against ordering from that site...

United Kingdom As of 18 July 2005,[27] both fresh and "prepared" (that is, dried, cooked or made into a tea) psilocybin mushrooms were made illegal in the United Kingdom. Prior to this date, fresh mushrooms were widely available (even in city centre shops), but section 21 of the Drugs Act 2005 made fresh psychedelic mushrooms ("fungi containing psilocybin"), a Class A drug.[28] Prior to these laws being passed, possession and use of psilocybin and psilocin was prohibited, but courts had ruled the law did not apply to naturally-occurring substances containing these compounds, and for a brief period Psilocybe cubensis and other psilocybin mushrooms were sold in farmers markets. Mushrooms spores are not illegal, due to the fact they do not carry psilocybin until they are cultivated. [edit]

I only meant that incase we all lived in a more enlightened society where things like mushrooms were legal, of course.
