Man arrested for growing hallucinogenic mushrooms March 25, 2006 - kvoa.com

Tucson police respond to a burglary in progress, and when they got to the apartment, they came across an illegal growing operation.
Members of the Counter Narcotics Alliance unit suit up to enter an Eastside apartment, an apartment that has an entire bedroom filled with chemicals and paraphernalia to grow hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Sgt. Mike Garcia is with TPD, but assigned to the Counter Narcotics Alliance.
He says, "This is relatively a large grow for mushrooms. Usually, they are smaller. They can be confined to a kitchen, to a bathroom... just a real small area."
The investigation began when someone called to report a burglary. The items were a found in a car.
The man who lives in the apartment identified to police the property was his. Authorities say he's under investigation for the mushroom growing operation.
Sgt. Garcia says, "It is dangerous and against the law."
One of the neighbors was shocked to hear about the illegal operation. Especially, since there are elderly residents next to the apartment.
Aaron Haggerty says, "It's terrible for me and my wife. We happen to live next door and we have a 7-year-old daughter, so to expose her to something like that is terrible. It's really bad for the community."
Because of the chemicals inside the apartment, the Tucson Fire Department was called in to remove them and dismantle the operation.
A Hazmat unit identified the chemicals and removed them from the apartment.
No arrests were made. The investigation continues.

<<Sgt. Garcia says, "It is dangerous and against the law.">>
Well at least half of that statement is true.

What chemicals do you need to grow mushrooms? H2O2?
They make it sound like the guy had a meth lab.

Another good example of why the war on drugs is a catastrophic failure. How much manpower and salaries were involved in dismantling this dangerous operation? I wonder. I like the LC tops with polyfill tubes.

Yes, they're definitely a recent Agar creation. They called in a hazmat team to clean up some light malt extract and dextrose. Great use of taxpayer money, as always.

Talk about mis-information on the reports.

Is anyone else dreading the day a story comes out on 60 minutes about our little hobby? Why do I feel like that day isn't far away? And why do I also feel like it's going to make people 1000% more paranoid? It's gonna suck, cause then a lot more people are gonna know what to look for.
