oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    #5962367 - 08/14/06 11:08 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Well I just got arrested with mushrooms in Florida around Jackson County. They didn't catch me in the Field so they didn't charge me with TP. but charged me with the mushrooms. I'm really scared. What can I do to fight it. Every sight Ive seen says that mushrooms aren't illegal to have fresh. Can i use that as defence. It was a small bag. Im waiting on the court date. :sad: :sad:

They are illegal in the US whether they are fresh/dried. You really don't have anything to go on, I'de say your best bet is to say that you thought they were edible ones.

Damn dude that sucks. Just be honest and cooperate with the judge and police. Youll obviously get a charge, lying will end you up with a conviction, cooperation might hopefully lead you to community service, maybe a fine, and a drug class, who knows. I definitely wouldnt recommend lying though.

I got busted with 3+ oz of weed 2 years ago, i didnt deny anything and got 32 hrs comm serv and an 8 class drug education class, no testing.

I'm glad it worked out for you, but what this guy needs is a lawyer. Please don't attempt to convince people to admit guilt in court on a forum.

This will be my first offense. And I cant seem to find any website saying that its illegal in Florida to have fresh mushroom. All the sites say that its legal to have fresh shrooms but the cops will hassle you.

But why would they hassle you over 'legal' mushrooms? They are illegal regardless.

If you don't already know any lawyers to get a referral, I would start with the yellow pages and interview each lawyer on their knowledge of drug cases. A good lawyer will be able to give you some quick answers over the phone, cite applicable case law in relation to your charges, and give you a pretty good idea how he/she would handle it for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a law that allows possession of fresh mushrooms. In Colorado, at least in Denver, it is legal to posses marijuana under a certain amount, but if you're smoking it you're in trouble.

Good luck to you.

The cops said they had psilocybin in them. But how do they know. And how can I know that there illegal if all the references on the net says their not. So there's got to be some error if all the encyclopedia say it illegal in all states but Florida. That pretty much says that all state clearly show its illegal but Florida. And this is on many many sites

"Please someone tell me how to work this thing out. What law in Florida says that its illegal to have fresh mushrooms?"

When it comes down to it, the state law doesn't matter, as psilocybin is Schedule I in the US. True, florida law does say that fresh mushrooms aren't considered prepared. But you could still get screwed, and even charged with the fresh weight in comparison with the 10% of that which would be the dry weight. This is why you need a lawyer.

The cops didn't know what was in them. And I highly doubt they can ID a thing in the world. What happened: You were profiled probably by your age or how you look, and they made the decision that you were probably in posession of drugs. But, if they plan on getting you for this, they will likely have the mushrooms tested for psilocybin. One thing that happens fairly often is that when someone gets busted with fresh mushrooms, the cops leave them around too long until they're a pile of black goop. Even better when they put them in plastic evidence bags.

Talk to a lawyer as soon as possible, do not cooperate with the police unless on the advice of a lawyer. As things stand, the aim of the police is to help convict you, not help you.

If you need some help finding a lawyer with experience in drug cases, try *here* to start with - it's a list of lawyers in Florida assembled by NORML, the marijuana reform group. One of them might be able to help you or reccommend someone who can. Good luck.

Alright, first thing you should do:

Call this number - 786-363-2700 (florida ACLU)
or this number - (850) 561-5600 (florida Bar Association)
NORML can also be a really big help.

Either one will be helpful in finding a GOOD attorney who can help you. Yes, it will cost you money. Spend the money. Being a few grand in debt to a lawyer is better than getting even probation.

Normally in your situation police tend to not bother you, so long as you're picking them in fields. But you have to state that you didn't know what they were. I reccomend you go to the mushroom hunting forum, or at least talk to some friends you may have there, about what other species look like the ones you were hunting. You need an alibi so that if the magistrate asks you, "well, what kind of mushrooms were you looking for then?" you have an answer. If you weren't "of criminal mind" when committing the crime, you are technically not guilty. The state has to prove that you not only had the willful intention to pick illegal mushrooms, but that you acted on that intention. If you picked them by accident while you were looking for something else, then you really haven't committed a crime because you didn't have "a criminal mind" to do so.

When you get an attorney, be completely honest with them with whatever they ask you. An attorney is strictly held by law and professional ethics to the Attorney Client Privelidge. That means it is illegal for him to share any information that you tell him. If he asks, answer, completely and honestly. Don't waste his time with lies, because it'll just make it harder for him to do his job. He can't tell anyone what you tell him, so be honest, and make both of your lives a little easier.

In many cases your attorney won't even ask your side of the story, they'll just look at procedural law (rules of how trials, arrests, everything is done) to see if they can get the case thrown out before you have answer even a single question. Do not speak to the police. If they try to speak to you, then POLITELY refuse. Tell them you appreciate that they are doing their job, but you have nothing to tell them until your lawyer is present.

At the very least a good lawyer can mean the difference between ARD with your arrest record deleted at the end of the program, and getting 2 years reporting probation.

Sorry I can't be of more help... good luck man, god speed.

Look what I found on erowid..

Florida #
Florida stands out because of a decision in 1978 in Fiske v Florida by the Florida Supreme Court which ruled that wild-picked psilocybin mushrooms could not be legally considered "containers" of psilocybin and thus would have to be specifically listed in Florida law by the legislature if they meant to make them illegal. Since the Florida legislature has not chosen to change the laws since then, wild Psilocybin mushrooms are presumptively legal to possess in Florida. This does not mean police won't arrest people for possession of even wild mushrooms, but this has been used as a successful defense against such charges.

My understanding of that is that possession alone isn't enough to consider it a container of a drug. Any sign of intent to use it, etc, is another matter.

Every sight Ive seen says that mushrooms aren't illegal to have fresh.

Last time I checked (I live in Florida), fresh were legal in Florida. If you dry them or process them in any way, then they're illegal. This was done to prevent little old ladies out collecting pretty mushrooms for her flower garden from getting in trouble.

Things may have changed since I last looked this up, but make sure your lawyer knows that fresh is legal so far as you know.

Clicky!

Good luck!

the legality and the issue arrised from the fiske V. florida case also had to do with one otherr key piece of information, fiske claimed not to know that they were "active " mushrooms, which played a big part in his release

Yes, it's mildly different when you've got a bag full of actives-only that couldn't have come from anywhere but a field that is someone elses property. Most wouldn't consider it worth trespassing for edibles. But then again, out west lots of people break laws to get chantrelles.

Good point. When you go out hunting, make sure to pick a bunch of non-active shrooms to mix in the bunch. Even buying some supermarket shrooms to have with you if you get caught could make a big legal difference.

Cops WILL lie to you. They're legally allowed to and it's one of their most powerful weapon against the unsuspecting.

For example, the whole urban myth of asking a cop if he's a cop and he's required to answer truthfully is just that, a myth. People think if they ask first before buying drugs from an undercover, they're safe. Not so. If it were, then there would be no point to being undercover.

If they catch two people, they'll separate them and lie to them to get them to mess up their story and incriminate each other. They'll tell you your friend in the other room just admitted everything and said you did it. If you don't admit everything, he's going home tonight but you're going to jail. They'll be lying.

They'll tell you whatever they think will get them a conviction and they sleep perfectly well at night knowing they're liars.

It's only illegal if you ADMIT that you KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.

Claim that you were hunting for edibles and you must have made a mistake and picked the wrong kind and you'll walk.

Mention to the cop how "Psilocybin mushrooms are legal in Florida", or Cubensis whatever, and you'll go to jail.

Yep. But again, being a teen or in your 20's with only actives that you needed to hop a fence to get (unless you can prove that there are wild cow pastures) is tough as well. But, chances are they won't be wise enough to go that route. Some of us would probably make better prosecutors. And if you're really lucky, that fresh fungus is already black goop.

don't mention shit! let your lawyer do it.

i read of a shroomery member who pointed out to the cops that fresh psilocybic shrooms were legal in Florida and they looked it up and let him go, i'm not sure if he said they were psilcybes or not, but they did let him go after he asserted their legality.

but this is just hearsay anyway.

yes play innocent, but no don't say things. then they can catch you in lies.

if you talk to them about how they aren't illegal, on the one hand that's true that they aren't and they should let you go, but the other users are right than then it does show a knowledge that you deliberately picked psilocybes, knowing they were psilocybes, and that sort of construes an intent to eat them.

it seems like the only verbal thing that should take place is "why are you arresting me?" and "oh, i didn't know that's what these mushrooms were, but i heard for a fact on the news they are no longer illegal, can you look up the law for me?"

and they say "well how do you know" or whatever just don't add any crazy stories, just say you were randomly picking mushrooms and keep it simple. don't get caught in traps. "why?" "because i wanted to. Why are you arresting me for something that is not illegal? I do not wish to answer any more questions and want to be let go"

then you just have only one thing stated, you didn't know what they were and you were randomly picking mushrooms.

Listen dude. You were walking in the park, you saw some mushrooms and you thought "awesome! mushrooms! Just like in my Chinese food!" and you picked some up and were taking them home to show your mom. The reason fresh mushrooms are legal in Florida is because they grow all over the place and the cops can't charge every child who picks them up with drug possession. So unless you already said something dumb to the cops, don't sweat it.

It shouldn't be a big deal. DO NOT cooperate or admit anything to cops. Get a lawyer, or advice from a lawyer who specializes in these cases. Good luck bro!

In fields, behind fences... in poop. Probably not so much in between the slide and the jungle gym.

Man I don't know what to do. Please someone tell me how to work this thing out. What law in Florida says that its illegal to have fresh mushrooms?




I've read similar things about fresh being legal in florida. Get a lawyer, claim you thought they were edibles.

and they say "well how do you know" or whatever just don't add any crazy stories, just say you were randomly picking mushrooms and keep it simple. don't get caught in traps. "why?" "because i wanted to. Why are you arresting me for something that is not illegal? I do not wish to answer any more questions and want to be let go"

then you just have only one thing stated, you didn't know what they were and you were randomly picking mushrooms.




I like your style... this is totally acceptable to say to a cop. the words "AM I FREE TO GO?" will take you a long way!
