Maybe, but how do you prove that?

I guess if you were recorded talking about how to manufacture.

Maybe. That's not in our fact pattern.

So I have various spores around I have collected through trades, some psychedelic, many not. I haven't actually grown psychedelics in awhile, I have plenty of grow supplies and some edibles and medicinals being grown. Am I to believe that I could be convicted with intent to manufacture simply for possessing psychedelic mushroom spores despite literally having no intent to do so?
I know I can be CHARGED with it, you can be charged with literally anything, but it would seem rather difficult to prove intent in court under the circumstances. Regardless if I intend to grow these or not however they're valuable, I can trade them for other things (how I acquired them to begin with), I could grow them if they became legal, etc, they take up little space so why would I throw them away? That seems to me like charging someone for having money because they COULD buy cocaine with it. It seems rediculous to charge someone simply for possessing spores and grow equipment alone. Maybe that's my fault for trying to assume courts operate on logic or that drug laws are supposed to make sense.

It's not really that ridiculous. You did have intent, that's why you got the spores. Just because you aren't actively growing psychedelics now doesn't change the fact that you did commit a crime, and currently possess all the things you used to commit that crime. Things like psilocybe spores who's only real use is for committing that crime. Keep in mind tho that if police show up at your door, it's going to be because they already have reason to believe you're cultivating psychedelics, so spores and grow equipment is just confirming what they have already been lead to believe about you.
That being said, spores aren't illegal, so as long as you don't have a syringe or print or something with a psilocybe cubensis label on it, and you're actively cultivating different edible mushrooms, I doubt you'd have anything to worry about if you don't actually have any intent. Doubly so if nobody knows anything about you ever growing psychedelics. I can't imagine they'd send spores to the lab to grow out and see if any are psilocybin producers when you've got fresh oysters and such growing and your story checks out. But you know your situation better than I do.
