Advise for UK Hunters (Law Change)
    #4899097 -

Keep an extra eye out whilst hunting and take extra precautions, thanks to that wanker Tony fucking Blair. Our fascist nanny state Labour Government have decided that the adult population of the United Kingdom are no longer able to legally buy or consume Magic Mushrooms, but downgrade Cannabis from Class B to Class C.

They have done this, despite the fact they are not dangerous and not considered to be a controlled substance by the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board. They also ignored export reports concluding there was no need to ban Magic Mushrooms.

Legal action will be taken to try to get this ban overturned, as it is believed the Government have broken Human Rights and European Free Trade laws, see: Entheogen Defence Fund for more info.




Magic mushrooms and the law
There was once a time when picking and taking fresh magic mushrooms was perfectly legal. This time has now come to an end. Read on for the new rules on shrooms.

The law
Until recently, the sale of fresh magic mushrooms was legal due to a loophole in the law. The Drugs Bill 2005 has now closed this loophole.

Magic mushrooms contain psilocybin and psilocin and under the Misuse of Drugs Act these hallucinogenic chemicals are class A drugs like heroin, crack and cocaine. The new bill will class fresh magic mushrooms as a "preparation" of psilocin or psilocybin, and therefore possession of magic mushrooms (fresh and prepared) is now illegal.

Fly Agaric mushrooms are also hallucinogenic but they contain no psilocybin or psilocin and so are not illegal. However they are difficult to take safely and there's much debate over whether Fly Agaric mushrooms are deadly or not.


Magic mushrooms are a class A drug
Class A drugs carry the most serious charges. Maximum penalties you can face are:

Seven years imprisonment plus an unlimited fine for possession.
Life imprisonment plus an unlimited fine for supplying or dealing.
Life imprisonment plus an unlimited fine for possession with intent to supply.
Drugs convictions will also affect your chances of future employment, as many employers would not consider your application, and some countries will not let you in, such as America and Australia.

"It is now illegal to buy magic mushrooms in either the fresh or prepared forms."


So am I breaking the law by buying them?
It is now illegal to buy magic mushrooms in either the fresh or prepared forms.

Nice to know we have some sense talking people running the country, how the fuck can something go from being perfectly legal to the crime of the fucking century. Crime figures are bad enough in this country, we dont need blair making criminals out of the innocents.
Just because they decide these things are bad, thats there own opinions and i wish they'd keep them to themselves.

Vote Blair, he stamps on our history & traditions, then proceeds to piss all over our people, nice one .

Hasn't anyone noticed the loophole in the drug bill yet?  :smirk:

Quote:
2.2 The Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2005 amend the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 and ensure that magic mushrooms are excepted from the offence of possession in four scenarios:

2.3 First, where the magic mushrooms are growing uncultivated. This ensures that persons who have magic mushrooms growing on their land uncultivated will not be acting unlawfully by possessing them in this way. (Should those persons intend to supply those magic mushrooms they will, however, be committing the offence of possession with intent to supply controlled drugs.)

2.4 Second, where the magic mushrooms are picked by a person, who possesses them lawfully, in order to deliver them as soon as is reasonably practicable into the custody of a person lawfully entitled to take custody of them and they remain in that person?s possession for and in accordance with that objective. This ensures that landowners can pick magic mushrooms growing on their land for the purpose of delivery and, so long as they hold the mushrooms for and in accordance with that purpose, will not be acting unlawfully.

2.5 Third, where the magic mushrooms are picked in order to either destroy them as soon as is reasonably practicable (purpose of destruction) or deliver them as soon as is reasonably practicable to a person lawfully entitled to take custody of them (purpose of delivery) and then held for the purpose of destruction, whether by the person who picked them or by another person.

2.6 Fourth, where the magic mushrooms are picked in order to destroy them as soon as is reasonably practicable (purpose of destruction) and then held, whether by the person who picked them or by another person, for the purpose of delivering them as soon as is reasonably practicable to a person lawfully entitled to take custody of them (purpose of delivery).

2.7 Scenarios three and four enable any person to (a) pick mushrooms for the purpose of delivery or destruction and to hold them or pass them to another person to hold for and in accordance with the purpose of destruction or (b) pick mushrooms for the purpose of destruction and to hold them or pass them to another person to hold for and in accordance with the purpose of delivery. In this way, there is scope for these persons to change their mind as to whether they are going to destroy or deliver the mushrooms. There is also scope for the person who picked the mushrooms to pass the mushrooms to another person and for such persons to pass the mushrooms on (covering farm workers, for example) so long as the mushrooms are held for and in accordance with the relevant purpose (delivery or destruction).

2.8 These Regulations do not cover a person who takes possession of (i.e. was not already in lawful possession of) mushrooms for the purpose of delivery and who holds the mushrooms for and in accordance with that purpose. This is because a defence in section 5(4)(b) of the 1971 Act already covers such persons. When this existing defence is combined with the exceptions provided for in these Regulations, it means that any person can pick magic mushrooms for either the purpose of delivery or destruction, or acquire magic mushrooms picked for such purposes, so long as he holds them for and in accordance with either of those purposes.



So, in other words, you can legaly pick magic mushrooms as long as you plan on destroying them at a later time  :wink:

so what does this mean in terms of ordering mushroom growing kit to my house? A bad idea? how tightly will they be inforcing this law do you think?

I wouldn't advise ordering a grow kit. A grow kit contains live mycelium so its classed as a class A drug.

The cops aren't going to believe you spent ?30 on a grow kit just to destroy the thing now are they?  :smirk:

Besides, the majority of vendors selling grow kits wont ship to the UK.

If you ask me it's bloody stupid how they think millions of little things can pop out of the ground saying boo once a year and no-one's going to touch one.  That's why the judge in the 80's case made the "fresh" loophole, it's totally impractible.

Bi0TeK, Blair and his cronies will have a lot more to worry about in a few years time once those azures you  :rolleyes: "found" :rolleyes: all along that mile long path blow their spores all over these islands hehe.

Seriously, who voted for that stupid idiot anyway, after everything he did last term, and now THIS, this term?  Whoever did, you've made your bed and now we've ALL got to lay in it, sheesh.  They'll have to hang, draw and quarter me soon, nevermind Guy Fawkes.  :mad2:  I bet he was really innocent at University, was he f&%#.
