Man charged with manufacturing mushrooms

 Investigator Sam Winchester and Sheriff Martin Pace load psychadelic mushrooms and growing equipment into a truck Monday afternoon.
Warren County, Mississippi-
A Warren County man was held without bail Tuesday after deputies searching his apartment in a burglary case found a psychedelic mushroom farm.
Jason Jobe, 28, 1790 Fisher Ferry Road, Apt. E-31, was arrested and charged with manufacture of psilocybin mushrooms with intent to distribute, and residential burglary, Sheriff Martin Pace said.
Deputies and narcotics agents recovered 88 jars containing the sprouting mushrooms, Pace said. Each jar has the potential to produce about a pound of mushrooms.
“The psilocybin mushrooms were popular in the ’60s and ’70s. This is not something we see a lot of now,” Pace said. “We don’t have a lot of contact with the mushrooms and certainly have not seen the grow operations in this area. We’ve never had one in my 35 years.”
The bust appeared to be one of the biggest in the stage in decades.
“Neither the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agents or federal DEA agents I have consulted have seen a grow operation like this,” Pace said.
Deputies and narcotics agents hauled out several boxes and bags containing the jars of psychoactive mushrooms and loaded them into a truck Monday afternoon to be taken to the sheriff’s office as evidence.
The Drug Enforcement Administration lists psilocybin mushrooms — commonly referred to as magic mushrooms — as a schedule I controlled substance, meaning they have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Other schedule I drugs include heroin and LSD.
Deputy Zack Primeaux, and investigators Sam Winchester and Todd Dykes discovered the illegal mushroom farm while investigating a burglary from earlier Monday, Pace said.
Primeaux was investigating a burglary call at the apartment complex when he developed Jobe as a suspect and obtained a search warrant for his apartment.
“During the course of the search warrant, they came across the mushroom grow operation and recovered items stolen in the burglary including a violin,” Pace said.
Two guns stolen in the burglary were also recovered in Jobe’s apartment, Pace said. After the mushrooms were discovered, deputies called the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics which sent an agent to assist in the investigation.
“We called for them because this is so uncommon,” Pace said. “This is not something you see regularly.”
The investigation is continuing, and additional arrests are expected, Pace said.
Jobe was held without bail in the Warren County Jail awaiting an initial court appearance set for Tuesday.

So many mushroom busts lately it seems. His sentence will definitely be too long but I do think he needs time in jail for stealing someone else's property, especially their instruments. Not cool.
-------------------- Do not let psychedelics allow you to think lower of people who haven't done them or don't plan on doing them because "they don't know the truth". Let your enlightenment acknowledge that everyone is equal and that no one is inferior. This mentality goes against what they are meant for. By the way, everything typed on this account is completely fictional and all for the purpose of entertainment.

Sad to see another hobbyist get busted, but he brought it on himself stealing someone else's property.
Interesting to see that they didn't include the weight of the seized mushrooms and instead gave that ridiculous estimate for the jars of "sprouting mushrooms".
Unrelated but excellent choice with the Big Lez gif for your sig newrook.

What a great idea to burgle someone and bring the stolen goods back to your grow lab.
Brilliant!

They are not going by potential mushroom weight, they will empty the jars and substrate and weigh all together to decide psilocybin weight. the substrate/casing included just like fillers in pills counting as opiate weight, he is F_ucked beyond belief suicide by cop would have been my choice as opposed to violated by inmate!

Ya when I got in trouble I had a jar full of weed that ended up being just over 3 oz's but the cop radio'd it in as he found maybe 2-3 pounds. Lol boy was he disappointed when he weighed it.

I think theres 100x more use of shrooms now than in the 60s, if not 1000x.
People didnt know how to cultivate, the spores werent in circulation, and acid was $1 a hit.

Sounds more like his neighbor owed him money, and he collected. Who knows...
How'd they even know what kind of mushroom they were dealing with? Doesnt sound like they found any dry, or drying.

All mushrooms are psychoactive to people who don't know about them
