There is a move afoot in the UK Parliament currently to ban the possession of fresh Psilocybe Fungi, which has been legal for the last 30 years. I know that many of you are not UK residents, but please sign the petition below to fight fear and ignorance of Psilocybe mushrooms. http://www.petitiononline.com/DBPF/petition.html If you want to reply to this thread, please do so here Mods, Anno has OKd the cross-post

online petitions don't get anything done. You need a real petition signed by registered voters with their names, addresses, and possibly phone numbers as well, so the people in office can see that their constituents - the people they care about - are calling for such and such.
Online petitions don't get anything done, unfortunately.

Unfortunately petitions are rarely successful. They can be good for raising awareness in some cases but they usually have very little effect on the outcome of their cause. If any of you are truly concerned then I suggest, as well as signing the petition of course, writing a letter to your local MP. Just tell them you are an amateur mycologist and you are concerned that with the new rules you could inadvertently break the law while hunting for new specimens. Obviously you could just put 'magic mushrooms are harmless this is just another example of your government's draconian approach to drugs blah blah blah...' but I'm sure if enough people do it they will at least raise the point. It is their job after all. I think a change in the law was inevitable but I don't want to get busted on the way back from a hunt, IMO selling them is a different matter. We can only hope the government makes the right decision for once...

There's no way anyone will take any notice. Even writing letters. There would have to be a much larger number written than I think there is to write them.
Fuck them. Just another in the growing list of reasons to get off this shitty island as soon as possible.

That sucks man.
Here spots are handed down from generation to generation . Keep hunting you'll find some eventually, I once spent 2 hours looking for amanitas musc. I found one!
Failing that just wait untill September and catch a train/coach across the border.

shit i can find plenty of amanitas, it's the other ones that are a bitch. Well last season i found a few good sub patches and next season is sure to be better!
You have a good time with the amanitas? I hear the best way to have a full-on experience is to eat one (or drink the juice or whatever) and then when you take a leak, drink that. Cuz yer piss has the concentrated active chemical in it.
haha ick, drinking yer own piss. ...umm this is all way off topic.

This possible mushroom banning thing sucks! I don't get why being in possession of something growing naturally could be illegal. Plenty of people could accidentally break the law. It's just silly!

Amanitas are one of those things i will have to do at least once in my life. I can't half ass it either. I will have to go balls out and do the whole ritual. Of course i hope to be somewhere in South American or New Zealand at the time. So it will make for perfect set and setting.

Hi Clone,
funnyt you should mention the perfect set and setting.
Actually it is where ever you are at the moment you decide to imbibe yourself with the Soma.
The Siberians and Cuuckchee and kamchadals and Finns and Laps do it in very cold environments in their villages. The woman of the tribal groups who use the Amanita muscaria first chew the shroom into a mess of globby goo. Then they give it to their male counterparts who swallow the shroom.
Later on they piss into a bowl or a cup and pass the urine drenched amanita juice to the poorer members of the tribe who canot afford the shroom. These people then drink the urine to get off.
Now that is a perfect set and setting.
have a shroomy day. Mj,
The ritual of urine drinking was first noted in the 9th and 10th mandala of the Vedic scriptures, "The Rig Veda."

I dont want to hate on England or anything but I mean, it rains all the time, its always dreary, you cant smoke, you can hardly do anything, and now you cant legally get/pick/grow magic shroomies anymore. Man, If It wasnt so much inherantly better than the US, I would have no reason to go

The bill went through (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/pabills.htm), but it needs to be re-drafted in to an Act. This will take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks, in which time they can still be sold. After the Act is finished, the online stores will be shut down.
Hopefully it takes 8 weeks

getting spores and grow kits should still be cool since they don't contain any psilocybin/psilocin.

that makes sense.. it's the same reason marijuana seeds can be sold legally, they don't contain THC so technically they could be used for birdseed or whatever else. lol.. i can just imagine feeding my 110euro feminised white widow seeds to a pet parrot.. does anybody have more insight into this?

Hopefully it takes 8 weeks

Ahhhhh,
I managed to find out more information at last!!!
CHECK THIS:
www.EVERYONEDOESIT.COM
They are giving updates!
" Following the shock announcement on Friday 8th April, that the UK Drugs Bill had circumvented the usual scrutiny and attained 'Royal Assent', we have received word that the UK Home Office may be postponing clause 21, which reclassifies magic mushroom products as class A drugs; pending the inclusion of exemption for wild mushrooms.
Does this mean that our beloved mushroom products are still available for sale? For now, yes.
We'll keep you updated. "

Signed it for all the good it'll do. After my current batch of PF cakes have finished I think I'm going to stop growing , for a while at least. I don't want an "example" to be made of me. "An example of what?" I hear you ask. Someone trying to have fun, as I define it, with the minimum risks possible. I guess I'll have to do what the government want and become a pisshead.

Nobody will look twice at some online petition. What you need is hostages.

And give the government another reason to associate our sacred mushroom with its anti-terror laws?
I don't think so...

The Home Office are still writing the law up. Apparently they've stopped answering calls from angry shroomers, head shops and campaign groups asking when the drafting will be finished and the law enacted.
I keep hearing "end of June" as the rough time the Home Office will be finished, although this is just speculation - it could be a lot sooner.
In the meantime, a Judicial Review case is being put together challenging clause 21 of the Drugs Bill by the Entheogen Defence Fund on the grounds of illegality and irrationality.
Spores will not be illegal, so there will still be potential for growing... not that I'd advocate that.

shrooms r extremely common over the entire uk - although for ridiculas amounts u might have to head out & they have always sold black market or been passed around coz ther free - this isn't going 2 effect any1 serious bout shrooms & buying fresh/off the internet is pretty expensive. I don't agree with it but can c y politions want 2 ban em - Stoners rights & the like are not terribly important in the scheme o things & wen something goes wrong parents/ media etc go nuts - only a week or 2 ago a newspaper report bout that guy who bought 'legal' shrooms panicked & fell off a building & died - now 2 my mind hes a twat but normal people would say it wouldnt hav happen if he hadnt took shrooms - which i guess is true - 2 b honest I think if they can stop the sale of them it won't go any further - dried shrooms hav never been much of a pull for cops really - as a holding charge or if there being sold mayb but I don't think the pigs will hide in bushes to arrest hippies in wet fields with a bag of poopy mushrooms with gang warfare going on over crack in most towns

wow just read this ! So I was right - they know there not hard drugs - if hippies want to quietly go & pick em fair do's just don't rub our faces in it by hawking em on the high st & net - they just want to stop the sale - which is just an media embarressment & problem waiting to happen 4 them. I think you won't get a better deal than if there is an exception for wild shrooms - better than I was hoping
