Hi Folks
Just out of interest wondering if anyone has ever been caught by police picking, hunting or just possessing mushies in Australia anywhere. If so what happened?
Cheers
MM

My understanding is that, yes, it has happened in Tasmania,
and definitely happened in WA, in fact there is whole documentary about it from the early 90's (?) i think.
it results in possession of an illicit substance, and in tasmania, it used to be intent to poison (or some such) under the poisons act, but assume this has been updated.
each state has their own laws and you need to look these up according to your state.

I'm guessing this is the doco you're talking about ("The magic mushrooms of Balingup"). It's worth a watch! I enjoyed it at least.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET CAUGHT WITH THEM!!!
i have been charged with possession of commercial quantity over around 15grams dry. (for personal use)
its not like cannabis where you are charged on the dry weight of the plant.
they charge you with possession of Psilocybin where the personal use weight is 0.1g
so unless you have a good lawyer and plenty of cash to get it lab tested anything you get caught with is going to be well over personal use weight.
mine came back as 0.089g thank god.
had a mate done for trafficking them aswell,
just dont get caught lol.
never had trouble with cops in a paddock but if u were pulled over on the way back they would go off the fresh weight. they catch you with

Queensland, so probably the most backwards laws but to the best of my knowledge all states go off weight of psilocybin not dry/fresh weight
