I'm having second thoughts about growing shrooms. Anyone else? 1

I've been having second thoughts lately about whether the risk is worthwhile or not... Not just the risk of growing shrooms, but all the other illegal activities I partake in.
Here's a summary:
Most of my hobbies involve some sort of illegal activity, such as: Taking drugs, growing shrooms, cultivating other psychoactive plants, extracting drugs, (attempting to) synthesize drugs or precursors, extracting/making poisons such as strychnine and cyanides, making dubiously legal compounds such as hydriodic acid, buying drug related stuff, etc
It isn't my fault that all my interests involve illegal stuff! 
Anyway, so I've into these things for a few years now, and I've always been pretty careful and tried my best to keep a low profile and do things as anonymously as possible, and I've never had any trouble with the law.
In fact I've never had any legal troubles period, I have no criminal record and I've never even spoken to a cop except once when they raided my house for something that was not my fault.
Not boasting, just elucidating facts. Hehe.
So, adding up the mushroom cultivation, possession of various other drugs, combined with some of the suspicious chemicals I have, I'm sure that I could easily end up in prison for 10 years or more if I were caught.
Until recently, I've had the attitude that I'm invincible, but that all changed when I took a shroom trip recently (ironic, I know)...
At the end of the trip I felt so grateful to be alive, I felt like I could do anything, and I found myself questioning why I am taking such risks.
And, although I dismissed these thoughts for a while, I have found myself considering the advice that the mushrooms gave me, which is to stop breaking the law, at least stop cultivating Schedule I drugs and all of the most serious things, and focus on doing more legal stuff.
(Sorry this is turning into a really long post)
So I'm thinking of quitting while I'm ahead... To begin with, I might go crazy for the shroom growing and grow a few kilograms, then dry them, powder them, and get rid of all evidence of cultivation. This already divides the maximum prison sentence by 2.
Next I might get rid of most of the poisonous/suspicious chemicals... Etc
In an ideal world I'd have nothing illegal, but until most drugs are legalized, I can't make that leap haha.
I still have my freedom, I feel almost like this is a second chance to change before I actually get arrested, and I'm too cute to go to jail!
If you're thinking "what are you worried about, how are they even going to catch you?"
Well, there are a number of ways
Firstly, I've been raided by the police before as I said, it related to something I had bought that had previously been stolen, so they tracked it down to me. I showed them appropriate proof that I had bought it and not stolen it, and that was the end of it... This was before i got into illegal stuff. But it just shows how bad luck could get you unwanted attention by the police. Also, some things are out of my control, for example what if i had a heart attack and called 911, the paramedics would perhaps see something suspicious and alert the police.
There could be a fire in an adjacent house and the firefighters might need access, the police might raid again for something that is not my fault, or something trivial... Etc
There are lots of ways to get caught. IDK.
Has anyone else considered quitting while you're ahead?

I wouldn't worry about getting a lot of time for what you do, unless you are selling a bunch of drugs near a school or to children. Ten years might be on the table when they first charge you, but you almost always plead guilty and get a lighter sentence for possession, normally a year in prison or 5 years probation.

Thanks for the replies guys
HeroicDoses, in my country the sentence for possession is much lower than for cultivation. But yeah, to my relief, you seem to be right. I looked up the average prison sentence, and it seems to be less than a year for possession and 2 or 3 years for selling, so it may not be as bad as I thought.
tdubz, ideally yes, but outdoor shrooms could be full of worms and stuff!

I have had the same message from my mushrooms that I grew. I had (on several occasions) an overwhelming feeling that I wanted to shed all of my supplies and sometimes specific parts of my drug collection. (I call it my quiver)
The feelings fade once sobriety sets in. I have taken long breaks and in one case actually followed the suggestion and got rid of a bunch of molly I had acquired. It did feel right in the end. Subsequent trips were not filled with that feeling.. maybe because I had addressed it in some way.
I think you should reassess each one of your "hobbies" and decide what to do on a case by case basis.

I'm glad I'm not alone on this one.
I am a bit less worried now than I was before, although I'm still giving it consideration... I should realize by now that the amount of worrying I do has no actual effect on reality. If I don't worry, I'm just as likely to get arrested than if I do worry. Haha.
I think my best bet at the moment is just to avoid attention. For example, I've aborted my recent plans to purchase more dubiously legal items. While I've got shrooms growing, I'm going to refrain from buying any grey-area items... Except kratom. I think kratom is safe enough to buy, because it isn't really a threat to the structure of society, so no one is going to care. At least that's my hope, because I love my K.

I've also experienced this... regretted flushing the stuff I flushed while tripping. I've also had other insights into myself while I was tripping but a while after my trip, I realized they weren't very applicable.

Bodhisatta has some really fool proof methods. They are simple and straight foreward.
i just cant figure out if i'm being secure enough on the internet in general. Im tech stupid.
ANON#1, do you follow all the crazy security suggestions that are found on the site here? its too much for me to follow and my VPN won't allow me to connect to the web :smh: it seems that you could feel fairly secure if you put in the effort to figure that stuff out.

What's going wrong? Have you thought about making a patch outside? People routinely discard contaminated spawn outside and get good results. Or just try brf cakes they are fool proof. Like a 12 year old could do it.

I got a grow to work.. bad yield but enough to last me for a year or so.. i don't like doing shrooms at all.. they are a backup if i run out of lsd I had much better luck with AGAR>Grain>shoebox than i did with brf cakes actually..

Funny, your post is the first one I am replying to on this board. I just read your post and have some advice:
1. The first thing is what else do you do besides these illegal things? Do you have a steady source of income? If your illegal activities are your only source of income then you would first need to address that. If you depend on these activities to "pay your way" then you should probably just get real. Sooner or later you will get busted. If this is nothing more than a hobby then how can your paranoia be worth it?
2. The fact that police came and investigated you for potential stolen property is a major red flag. It means you have some serious holes in your "network." You said it was before all the other activity. The fact this happened to you is something I would really meditate on. Visits from police generally happen because someone made you a suspect.
3. Without the details of who you are, your post indicates an entreprenurial spirit and some really positive attributes. You could probably channel your efforts and become very successful over time. Will a felony conviction help in this positive direction?
4. Your first offense will not get you in prison most likely. It will just limit your future possibilities.
I hope this helps you somehow. In this life we should have intention guide where we go. When the intention involves breaking the law then you MUST count the costs up-front as well. You must accept the future outcome with courage and clarity.
I've done plenty of things in my life that I wished, in retrospect, I would have thought through better. I have not had to pay the legal price. But even winning (not being convicted, not being charged) carries stiff psychological penalties.
If you are worried now with no heat, how will you feel if you become burdened with these kind of potential consequences.
Just think it through. I think you are on the right track.
