spore supplier legal questions

sorry if this is breaking policy, but I'm highly curious. How do small spore companies like ralphsters and sporedepot exist? It would be an awesome business to get into. Supplying the world with mushroom spores. But I'm sure a lot of 'special' mushrooms are grown by these people. How come the law hasn't caught up with them yet? They have like a secret bunker they grow in?

some countries allow the growing of mushrooms for their spores while still being illegal to consume.

Oh shit, you got me. I didn't say anything about psilocybin. It's purely curiousity. If its against policy to answer then don't answer

If a mod views this thread and thinks it shouldn't be asked. Go ahead and delete the thread. I don't want to get anyone in trouble

Yes, but I don't think the USA does. And I didn't mean those two companies specifically. Just any vendor in general.
Was PF from Canada?

It is a legit question. I imagine you would need a special permit, Or grow where it is legal, and ship the spores to your place of business.
Really though IDK.

The only rule you're breaking here is naming vendors that are outside of Shroomery's sponsors. It is legal to the the spores in most countries, including most of the states, as the spores have no psilocybin.

sale and possession of spores is only illegal in 3 states, Georgia, Idaho and California, there can be no spore businesses in those states of course just as there are no sales to those states, as for how they obtain their spores, they dont grow any mushrooms in order to sell spores, they're buying prints from suppliers who do grow mushrooms or in some cases collect from wild specimens.
so the reason the law hasnt caught up with them is because what they are doing isnt actually illegal, they buy a legal product from a supplier and sell that product to their customers, it's a simple business model that's worked for centuries and is used the world over

Obviously. He's asking about the people who grow the mushrooms to make the spore prints for ralphsters. I believe there is a brief explanation on the site, but my memory is foggy and it may have been a different sponsor.
BTW, this is not a small business we're talking about.

It all makes sense now... Buy the spores for low$$, sell them for more and make syringes out of some of the prints. Simple. And I'm sure their suppliers are from Canada. That'd be like the only legit way to make the whole process legal. I don't think there is a limit on the amount u can grow in Canada eh? Just the amount u can have dried.

you may want to read the actual laws in canada's controlled substances act http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/PDF/C-38.8.pdf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_psilocybin_mushrooms#Canada Mushroom spore kits and grow kits are legal and are sold openly in stores or on the internet as the spores and kits themselves are legal. Psilocybin and psilocin are illegal to possess, obtain or produce without a prescription or license as they are schedule III under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act[8] Psilocybin and Psilocin are illegal to import or export because it's illegal to transport foreign fruits and vegetables across the border except by a licensed importer or exporter.

finding suppliers and becoming a sponsor are both difficult tasks, networking will get you suppliers but it's not something you want to go advertising, asking here and on other sites could result in some issues for you as most here that would grow are paranoid, becoming a sponsor the admins would like to see that you're established for a while, that there's not fuckloads of complaints about you all over the net from your customers and when you are approved you will be tested, a number of your purchases will be from people here at the shroomery to see how well you handle delivery and if there's an issue how you handle customer service, becoming a sponsor is easier than keeping it, you're always under a mmicroscope
