How to get spores in California

Good evening everyone! Sorry if this post repeats any from the past. I tried looking for the answer to that question with a search engine, but no luck.
For couple of weeks already i've been reading about growing and getting all required things. And the last thing i decided to check, was the spores. And, unfortunately, i live in California. Can anyone suggest how i could get my hands on them?

Many of the sponsors outside the US will ship to CA. Check the sponsors.

Relocation.
Spores are illegal in CA, even for microscopy use only.
No one worth trusting will send you anything... except maybe a squad car. So I wouldn't accept one piece of advice you get online. Sorry. Best advice for you, is that you're on your own, and where there's a will there's a way right? Best of luck!
I don't think CA is very far behind though. Already beginning to decriminalize possession - so someday, that ban will be lifted hopefully.

Are spores illegal to have in CA?
If so and people are willing to send to you, I haven't found anyone - so use your own judgement.
This guy here has been here for a VERY long time, so he obviously knows what's up... right? So fuck it I guess?? If a company is willing to send you spores, there you go!!
But I'm not wrong - I'm just saying it's up to you to decide who you can trust... Go check out the vendor list!

It is not illegal to possess spores in California, same as every other state. But in every state (including california) it is illegal to possess spores if you intend to cultivate them, which can be proven easily simply through possession of spores. But realistically this is never done.
What is illegal in California is selling, giving away, or importing spores. But vendors outside the US don't really care because they're not in CA. And I don't know of anyone ever having been prosecuted purely for possession of spores.

Sorry, things have changed... It is prohibited to possess the spores in CA, GA, and ID now a days. Not all the states are the same.

Believe it or not, many of us on this forum are rule breakers. SWIM has sent spores to CA like 100 times 
Stick around for a few months, read as much as you can, make some friends and you'll get what you're after. Also, it's worth pointing out that you should learn agar because most all of the spores given away on here are either prints or swabs
edit to actually try and be of some sort of help: as you know you can't get them shipped by a company to your door. But, there are a handful of mail forwarding services you can use to kinda reroute your package for a fee. Have any friends/family out of state that would forward your mail for you?

None of the dispensaries have them kinda in a back shelf situation?
When I was in Washington DC not long ago you could buy shrooms and shroom chocolates in the dispensary. There was a see associate for more details sign. Plenty of people advertise.
What kind of spores are you looking for? Just curious.

That's not true, as I explained above.

I want to believe!!! Lol. It's just how I was raised I think. I want that FP+ too...lol. I don't know if I'd ever be able to comfortably use the marketplace Not one person in real life knows anything about this side of me... It's a weird, bitter-sweet industry talking about it with you all. I guess it just takes time?
Please help though, I don't want to be that guy spreading misinformation. I'm reading more as we speak.... CA, GA, and ID = No spores right? Not even for the microscopes... At least not right this second? If I'm wrong I need to know so I can apologize! And then I'm sending a ton of spores to you house buddy!! Let's go!

Not sure about dispensaries. Psylocibe cubensis. Race doesn't really matter. For microscopy purposes, of course.

Here's the law:

Except as otherwise authorized by law, every person who, with intent to produce a controlled substance specified in paragraph (18) or (19) of subdivision (d) of Section 11054, cultivates any spores or mycelium capable of producing mushrooms or other material which contains such a controlled substance shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than one year or in the state prison.
11391. Except as otherwise authorized by law, every person who transports, imports into this state, sells, furnishes, gives away, or offers to transport, import into this state, sell, furnish, or give away any spores or mycelium capable of producing mushrooms or other material which contain a controlled substance specified in paragraph (18) or (19) of subdivision (d) of Section 11054 for the purpose of facilitating a violation of Section 11390 shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of not more than one year or in the state prison.
11392.

Perfect! Thank you so much! I was definitely misinformed... thank you!! I don't know where I read it at the very beginning of my journey - But I just pictured a spore syringe being treated the same way as a bag of dried shrooms in those 3 states. And in the other's, you can just open a magic spore store! lol.
If that's the case what part of CA are you in? I'll bet you can get them locally in a day. LA/OC for sure - and Humbolt/Eureka maybe even better. The owners of all those head shops are probably veteran "spore researchers" - I'd strum up an interesting side conversation with them. Better yet... Independent Record Stores that still sell vinyl records. Those guys are all on this site... lol

How close are you to Oakland? There is a place/church that supposedly "sells" dried mushrooms, chocolates and everything else.
It's called Zide Door. Check em out. I read about them on leafly a while back. Not sure if they are legit or not.

Zide door is legit. All entheogenic substances are decriminalized in Oakland.
