I could see the DEA going further with the fear tactics making a public claim that these mushrooms can “make you gay”
And being dead serious about it
Fuck the DEA

I love how of the two risk factors they list, one is complete bullshit and the other one is extremely unlikely when used responsibly and not per-disposed to it. You'd need an entire text book to list all the risks involved with alcohol and many legal medications, but they can't even come up with two for the thing they're locking people in cages over. I don't know how cops sleep at night

This is how they justify the "death" thing on the factsheet:

Abuse of psilocybin mushrooms could also lead to poisoning if one of the many varieties of poisonous mushrooms is incorrectly identified as a psilocybin mushroom.

The reason they do this is so that they can up the cost of apprehending this person. This will be used against the individual in the court of law not just for the 'danger' but for the huge expense it cost the system to resolve the issue. Yet the truth is they pissed away resources unnecessarily in their war against this person instead of using it to help those in need.

I’m not a fan of law enforcement. That said, they do serve a need, and I know some cops that are cool & aren’t down with the war on drugs. The DEA, on the other hand, serves no purpose other than to destroy lives based solely on substances deemed illicit by the powers that be. I have nothing but the deepest loathing for that organization & everyone involved with them. Fucking assclowns

The only takeaway I got is as follows: DEA discovers that man dies from fentanyl overdose, decides to bust a "poisonous, deadly" mushroom grow operation.
Our government is fucking stupid!

Yo magic mushrooms are fatal, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23157524. ; Just in very very specific cases.
Relevant information cause that ncbi link contains nothing:
... It was unclear how much the psilocybin mushroom ingestion contributed to death. Traumatic deaths have been reported after psilocybin mushroom use (van Amsterdam et al., 2011) along with a single overdose in a heart transplant recipient, possibly due to a sympathetic surge ( Lim et al., 2012). Authors have reported that psilocybin mushrooms contain phenylethylamine, which has sympathomimetic action, which is consistent with reported effects (van Amsterdam et al., 2011). ...

Precisely the point. And other than a few notable medical exceptions, such as someone who has had a heart transplant, there is likely less than 0.000001% chance of someone dying from ingesting psilocybe cubensis. How many tens of thousands of people die each year because of prescription drug-related overdoses? It's okay in that situation because the government is getting paid. What if they actually did their job and arrested corporate executives?
This is what we get instead, most of the time:
Tax payer money at work right there; I bet they feel proud.

Eerily similar to this vaping epidemic that wasn’t even tobacco related, or vaping related but killed sooooo many people meanwhile the taxed cigarettes killing a half million a year in the US are cruising along fine.

Pay no attention to the money folks, this is entirely about YOUR safety!!

Would've been cool if they brought along trip sitters just in case the rogue spores in the air made them trip balls

And then if they started tripping they could just lock themselves inside with their trip sitter and ride out the trip listening to pink floyd and watching the wizard of oz

I actually am a chemist in the pharma industry, and while I work for a "good" company this is the reality of the situation. The FDA will approve a drug the legitimately kills 1% of anyone who takes it, but deem the benefits to outweigh the risks (sometimes they do). But then to use this bullshit reason to ban substances that often have a safety profile 10 to 100x greater. As far as I am aware the case study I listed is the actual only known case of a fatal psylocibin overdose and it was obviously due to extraordinary circumstances.
This is the fucked up world we live in.
