Intent to grow mushrooms is illegal.
    #19195071 - 11/27/13 04:30 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I do not frequent this message board but I have recently dealt with law enforcement and felt the sting of laws I was ignorant of. Maybe what I have to say is common knowledge, maybe not. Hopefully I help someone out there with this post.

When I say "mushrooms" in this post I always mean "psilocybin mushrooms"

In the United States (specifically Utah, but most likely everywhere) it is ILLEGAL to INTEND to grow mushrooms. Let me clarify this: If you take a SIGNIFICANT STEP toward growing mushrooms, you ARE breaking the law. Saying you want to grow mushrooms is not enough, however ORDERING SPORES IS, preparing a grow medium could be if they can prove it was for mushrooms.

I know, it is ridiculous. However, I would not be posting this had I not just finished up in court because I "intended to grow psychedelic mushrooms"

Therefore, my recommendation to everyone is NEVER PLAN (without appropriate precautions) TO GROW. If you are going to grow mushrooms for personal use, it would probably be best that you maintain plausible deniability of ownership.

I did not tell anyone I was growing mushrooms but cops searched my home for other reasons and the only charge they could make stick was intent to cultivate mushrooms because of my journal.

There is an other, smaller, point to make here: Even if you are 100% quiet about what you are doing, doesn't mean someone can't accidentally stumble upon it. My house was searched not because of me but because of my roommate, had I known something like this could happen I wouldn't have attempted growing in the house.

Yeah, and ingesting those mushrooms and sitting in your house for six hours exploring inner self was going to destroy society.....how backwards is the world in which we live....

You may want to consider being much more careful.  If I were to grow mushrooms I certainly wouldn't have a roommate.  I'd never talk about it, show it off etc. 

Your roommate sounds like he might be a fool, he obviously adds a good measure of risk to your situation.

Sucks you had to deal with the pigs.

'Intent' laws are pretty common, the same goes for many other substances, intent to use them illegally is good enough.  For example, in some places a whippet cracker & Balloon can be intent to use nitrous illegally.  Another thing to watch out for is paraphernalia laws, things with drug residue on them can be considered illegal even if they aren't used for that drug anymore and this includes scales.

As you mentioned your journal, it's also a good idea to remove psilocybin and other telltale names from things.

i dont see the issue.
most peeps are growing by accident or chance anyway.
all they have to do is adjust paradigms,
instead of magical thinking about their grow skills and efforts,
simply accept reality, wich is," it was luck"

if their minds accept its a luck/ chance grow.
no crime committed.

of course ,
the rub is anyone who grew one shroom by accident,is a absolute pro.
at least in their own minds.

i wonder how many noobs lucked a grow, got nabbed,
and then actually admitted to intent and skill?

lol, what a self burn thru ego illusion.:onfire:

Why would cops read a journal you have and arrest you if they were looking for yoyr room mate? I used to have a romm mate who was on parole and his PO could come search the house anytime she wanted, but never even asked to come into my room.. he would store all his pipes and rigs under my bed in case she showed up.. sounds kinda suspect to me..everybody knows growing is illegal..:cop:

Search warrants have a limited scope. All your stuff being out in a 'common' area is one thing but if they searched your room it could be an illegal search.

But let me get this straight, you didnt have a grow in progress or any jars prepared or anything.. just what you wrote in a journal? I could write in a journal about killing somebody..but if there was no body or someone with a matching name missing, they really couldnt use it against me..
