Brothers Found With 20 Pounds Of Illegal Mushrooms April 19, 2006 - nbc4i.com
KIRKERSVILLE, Ohio -- Two Newark brothers were arrested early Tuesday morning, accused of trafficking more than 20 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms.
Richard J. Bair, 32, and Nicholas A. Bair, 27, both of 917 E. Main St., were each charged with one count of aggravated trafficking of drugs, a first-degree felony, The Newark Advocate reported.
The two were pulled over on Interstate 70 near exit 158 Kirkersville, around 12:30 a.m., by Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force officers.
"That's a huge amount," said Lt. Bruce Myers, head of CODE-TF. "You're looking at schedule-one drugs, the most serious level drugs can be classified."
Because of the amount and classification of the drug, each could face a 10-year mandatory sentence if convicted, Myers said.
Also because of the amount of the drug, their charges would classify them as major drug offenders if they are convicted, Myers said, which could add as much as 10 more years to their sentences.
Myers said psilocybin mushrooms, which cause mild to severe hallucinations when eaten, usually are seen at concerts and brought into Ohio from the southwestern United States.
Myers said the Task Force is increasing its coverage of drug investigations along Central Ohio roadways.
"This is something relatively new for the Task Force," he said.
The Bair brothers each appeared in Licking County Municipal Court Tuesday for a bond hearing.
The judge set a bond of $300,000 for each.

I'm glad these menacing individuals have been safely neutralized before they could wreak havoc on our nation's youth

You know, I know this is really old, but I was doing a google search image search that was totally unrelated to this and found this picture. Pretty crazy; http://www.statepatrol.ohio.gov/media/2002/02-0003.jpg

Actually > 1/16 of an ounce doses for 20lb is 5120 "trips" OR 1/8 of an ounce dose for 20lb is 2560 "trips".They're not far off. Good homegrow mushies can get 2 ppl to have a good time on an eighth.......not life changing mind you but fun
