The shrooms go into an evidence bag, the car is searched, they are sentenced, appear in court and are fined AUS $400 each for walking in the forest and picking some mushrooms.
It's outrageous

It's almost surreal. Busted for picking a mushroom in the forest.

If that happened to me where I live, I would go to jail for 10 years as a felony. $400.00 would be the easy way out. Don't get me wrong, I feel it should be legal if done in moderation and for enlightenment purposes and some day I hope that it is! Maybe one day just like peyote and the Native American Church we could experience Magic Mushrooms as a religious sacrament without worrying about the law. It would be a blessing!

unless you are officialy enrolled in a tribal government and are on a N.A.C. charter, you still have to worry about the law in many places. also i believe washington state still bans Lophophora cacti outright. we need a *LOT* of legal reform concerning our spiritual, religious and even self-indulgence freedoms [the former two the most critical IMO, but the later also a bit restrictive]

I think it was Amatoxin who shared this video with us here several months ago. $400 is just a slap on the wrist compared to what can happen in other situtions involving the harvesting of wild psychoactive fungi. And I have heard stories of people picking edibles in the wilds of Oregon without a permit being given $500 fines, and that is just for a bucket of Morels.

They aren't even magic mushrooms in their bag if you have a read through that link to the old thread...

Nah, I don't think so... These guys are sure laid back for just being busted by the cops, but guess that's the Aussie way of being pissed
