Coroner Jennifer Leeming said his death was not suicide and was directly linked to him taking the mushrooms
"I don't think Rob intended to do it. I don't think it was suicide at all. There was no indication that he would do something like that. It was the effect of the mushrooms.''
He said psilocin was an hallucinogenic drug similar to LSD but not as potent. Initially it created a feeling of euphoria, but later a sense of disorientation plus anxiety and panic.
"I am encouraged to learn that these substances are now classified as Class A drugs."
What a bunch off crap. This is horrible. I bet they just love this.

Yeah. It wasn't a MJ overdose.

I think part of the problem is that people assume that anything you can get over the counter isn't going to be that powerful, so there doesn't need to be much caution which is why he did it after 0.20 worth of alcohol, and didn't know what to expect.

I think they are too. It doesn't even matter that it's a lie though. They've done all the damage they'll ever need to do right there.
Fuck optimism ;0 Lol. Realism is what this is, and you know it. If the climate is such that mushrooms can be made illegal for no reason, NOW they have a "good" reason and so mushrooms are fucked.
Prove me wrong I dare you.

I wish I could prove you wrong, you're right. for the most part. It is realism.
I just don't belive this signals mushrooms being fucked everywhere. But in england, sure, they did a good job makeing sure this law would not be overturned.

She took a quad of dried mushies for her first time, with no one around, at 3 in the morning, what dumb bitch. Serves people like that right. It's just like anything else in this world.

Which is quite possible. In fact, it is probably about 1000 times more likely than ODing on MJ.

I think the fall had more to do with his death than eating the mushrooms did.
To be fair, though, they do say alcohol was a contributing factor.

Exactly what I was going to say myself. This is complete and utter fucking bullshit. Your emotions are greatly enhanced while under the influence of alc. and especially psychedelic's. This guy obviously had somthing in the back of his mind or maybe right on the surface that his family didn't see or didnt WANT to see/believe. He had obviously been debating suicide for a long time. This is why any knowledgeable person who knows they are in a bad state of mind will not dose. He was on a depressant and then took a hullucinogen which forces you to think in more depth about everything and anything going through your mind even things that have been repressed for years and years.
This is fucking pathetic. Mushrooms did not solely cause this mans death. This is another case of propoganda at its best and more so a family torn over disbelief that their son, brother, cousin, etc had mental fucking issues. The family wants to put the blame on somthing other than themselves for lack of care and attention to this poor man. They shrugged his problems off and now that he went over the edge they push the blame on somthing else. Fuck that bullshit.
The only thing the mushroom did was intensify his emotions that were already in his mind. He was a fucked up unit and should have had some self respect and never dosed in that state of mind.
Id just like to say to hell with the British government for their B.S. propoganda.

Guys, it looks bad for mushrooms in England.
But like the mycelium networks they spring from, there is an entire underground association of people who are working to spread the TRUTH about psychoactive substances. As long as there are psychoactive mushrooms there will be people who take the risk to grow them. I don't think mushrooms are fucked. They've been on this planet for thousands of years now. We're the ones who are screwed. Decades later when humankind has nuked itself to death, psilocybes will be popping up in our graves.
"Nature finds a way." You can't fight it. That's why it's so absurd that mankind continuously tries to.
Anyway, it may look bad for mushrooms, but have a little faith guys. It's us that you need to worry about.

yeah this seems really fishy, I mean the guy was coherent enough to express concerns about a taxi cab driver coming after him, but not coherent enough to know the difference between life a death, and who jumps out of a glass window?
this is like the shit they tell you about when your kid about people thinking they can fly and shit...now theyre saying something different but its the same concept...the guy was drunk, he probably stumbled and fell into the window and so forth. who knows...this shit is bad news though. someone should counter-point this lady whos writing to the Manchester police with an imformative letter to them as well, explaining that people die every day from alcohol, why are they making a huge fuss about one person dying (while drunk nonetheless) because he ate some mushrooms?

And just to prove this is shite, released weeks after the bill goes through to make sure the bill gets passed...
The incident happened AGES ago... check it out: http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/news/s/118/118237_magic_mushroom_clue_to_death_fall.html

Thats nearly a year ago, and the new article - http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/men/news/s/156/156498_death_leap_man_ate_magic_mushrooms.html
Seems to make out it happened recently
Just thaught it'd be interesting to know. We live in a buggered up world but its the same with ANY narcotic. I don't understand the law on cigs as being 16 - why do they do that?? To sell more to kids at school who will happily smoke away to look cool and spend all their pocket money.
Ah well off to get leathered tonight

I would like to point out that just because he was on shr0ooms does not mean that he jumped out the window because of the shrooms.
AS usual, law enforcement and media tend to moved shit towards their way of thought.
Which is usually incorrect.
Thats like the guy in Hawaii who ate soem mushrooms and then went into the bushes and raped and killed a 4-year-old girl.
In court the shrooms were hardly even mentioned and he did not triy to say that the shrooms made him do it.
Years ago, one of the main people involved in making LSD illegal was Art Linkletter of the Children are Funny and People are funny tv shows.
His daughter jumped out of a high rise while under the influence of LSD. It was later learned she had many psychological problems and family problems.
Years later Linkletter reexamined his view abiout drugs after learning about them over the years. Even now he is for decriminolizing marijuana.
ITs a shame that this happened but the media will use it to foster more hatred towards the shrooms.

you make a point, but i don't think he'd jump out the window if he were just drunk. mushrooms alter your perceptions and freaked out, leading him to jump out the window. my point is that the mushroom's spin on his mind made him do it. not everyone can handle themselves responsibly but mushrooms/psychedellics can be the catalyst to set of innappropriate/dangerous reactions in people.

Shit! So that actually happened a year ago?! That is so extremely fucked up.
the original incident may have happened ages ago but the inquest has only just been held. press reporting on inquest findings are quite common and totally in order. it is right and correct that inquest findings (which in some celebrated cases actively CRITICISE police and authority for making mistakes) are discussed in the press. just coz u dont like all of what is being said in the inquest (and neither do i) doesnt mean it is some sort of conspiracy. personally, though, i can imagine that mushrooms could have contributed to his death - set and setting are important and only an idiot (or more likely someone who doesnt understand mushrooms well) would take a heavy dose in a club then try to get home in a taxi with no money. this basic error was massively compounded by not having a sober sitter with them.
interestingly, however, as far as i am aware, although the law against psilocybin mushrooms has been passed, according to the press reports i have read it is not yet illegal to buy, sell or posess mushrooms. i'm no legal expert and i dont know how the legal law setting process works, but according to the guardian paper the ban is not yet in place: http://www.guardian.co.uk/guardianpolitics/story/0,,1461072,00.html
if the law does get passed i'm gonna try amanitas, which are not covered by the new legislation and which grow in abundance round my parts.
take care all, and dont take mushrooms in an inappropriate setting!

above link will need cut/paste treatment! the forum doesnt seem to like commas in url's.
i used the word "interestingly" above coz it seems to me that the forensic expert is wrong when he says that such mushrooms are now illegal - according to the guardian they are NOT ILLEGAL. yet.

unless you were there, you cannot conclude what "made him" jump out the window. for all we know he got pushed and there was a coverup. you're just as bad as the damn reporter. think outside the fucking box.

right...ok...foul play, lets see...i just doubt it. i know i've done some stupid shit on irresponsible doses so i don't see it too far from ordinary to do something like jumping out of a window. i know a friend who jumped off a deck on lsd and broke his face up. this kind of shit happens when people act irresponsibly.
