Help me out here...

Erowid lists Psilocybin as a schedule III drug in Canada, but that means that anyone is allowed to posses it, and it can legally be bought from a licensed pharmacist. So, in Canada, we are allowed to grow and eat all the shrooms we want, just not sell them? I had a cop take a whole bag of them from me before, so do they just not know the law themselves?
"Schedule III (Professional Products Area)
Drugs which may be sold by a pharmacist to any person from the self-selection Professional Products Area of a licensed pharmacy."

Wow, DOB and DOC are listed in plain text. I always thought it was really up in the air in canada.

Mescaline is also schedule III, so that's legally ingestible here as well, nice.
Oddly, LSD is also listed as a schedule III. Edit: but the precursors are illegal. So possesing and ingesting LSD is fine.

That's completely wrong.

"Possession of substance 4. (1) Except as authorized under the regulations(see *), no person shall possess a substance included in Schedule I, II or III. Obtaining substance (2) No person shall seek or obtain
(a) a substance included in Schedule I, II, III (see **) or IV, or
(b) an authorization to obtain a substance included in Schedule I, II, III or IV
from a practitioner, **unless the person discloses to the practitioner particulars relating to the acquisition by the person of every substance in those Schedules, and of every authorization(see ***) to obtain such substances, from any other practitioner within the preceding thirty days."
* / *** "Schedule III (Professional Products Area)
Drugs which may be sold by a pharmacist to any person from the self-selection Professional Products Area of a licensed pharmacy."
It reads to me like ownership, if conducted properly, and ingestion is legal. Show me if I'm missing something.

As far as I know you have to have a prescription for any schedule III.
You don't think cooking up methamphetamine is legal do you? It's under schedule III.

No, it says "but not including: Methamphetamine," and then it lists Methamphetamine under schedule I. No prescription is required for Schedule III.

Still, that would mean it was legal to possess those various amphetamines without a prescription, as well as LSD.
If that were true here would be a huge, huge flow of LSD in Canada as well as the USA. I just can't see them being legal like that.

I think it's a country-wide misconception that they are outright illegal to posses. That they are not is likely unknown to law enforcers and if their apparentl legality became abused then measures would likely be taken to might them outright illegal. Still, it is illegal for anyone, other than a pharmacist, to sell LSD and these other drugs, and it would be illegal possesion if you bought them from someone other than a pharmacist. However, the law only comments on who can sell it, and in the case of LSD, ergotamine is still illegal, so you cannot make it. Under this law people may grow their own schedule III drugs, as nothing is said about that, and their consumption is entirely legal. Selling them will get you in jail, and buying them from an unlicensed pharmacist might cause you trouble, though the law is hazy in regard to the buyer. Certain amphetamines are legal, but methamphetamine is not.
So the idea is: if it is illegal for LSD and these other drugs to be bought except from a pharmacist, how would anyone end up with them? You can grow your own in some cases, but you can't make LSD.
