Spore Law Situation
#7950460 - 01/29/08 01:45 PM (16 years, 3 days ago) |
|
|
I was reading on a site. Can't remember name, but it said legislatures were talking about the ban on mushroom spores containing psilocybin. I mean honestly i do not know the actual percentage, but i'd have to say only about 5% of spores are purchased for microscopic use. We all know where the rest go. So
What are the chances of spores being illegal?
What purpose do they serve being legal?
Can law makers use the Shroomery as evidence for the legal status of spores?

I believe they're only illegal in California, Georgia, and Idaho, unless I've missed something.

this is correct. I was saying they are talking about making them illegal across the states

I'm sure Ps. Cubensis spores will become illegal nation-wide, really it's only a matter of time. Will this stop people from getting them, not a chance. What will probably go down is the spores will become like pot seeds, banned for our use.
Although, making something illegal just drives the price up, doesn't really stop anyone from procuring the product.

I've got my stockpile of them, I don't plan on buying any again. Unless something goes horribly wrong and every last print I use becomes contaminated and they don't grow to make new ones... Then that would suck.
I wouldn't be surprised if they made them illegal sometime in the future though. They'd still be pretty easy to get though so it wouldn't be THAT much of a tragedy.

It wouldn't surprise me if this happened. It won't accomplish the enforcement goal of curbing production, but it will give legislators something they can tell parents and voters that they did to make America a safer place for their children.

Eh, let them. I don't grow anyway, I just collect spores. And there's no active chemicals in the spores anyway.
Not everyone that has spores grows mushrooms. I guess I'm in that so-called "5 percent".

Why in Gods name would someone pay to look at spores, when essentially there's not much difference between the strains in appearance. Just go rent a porn, it'll be more entertaining.

I'm the type of person, that if the purchase isn't monetarily profitable, it isn't worth the purchase. Now spores can be profitable, as long as you have a venture in mind prior to purchase.

I know absolutely nothing whatsoever about mushrooms as a monetary investment... however ive heard on TV somewhere that Portobello and Shitake are good ventures.

The problem with stockpiling spores is that you need to occaisionally grow agian, and take fresh prints. Prints don't last too long before they become contaminated.

Because thats not the point, to grow mushrooms and become some kind of drug dealer. The hobby should be for personal enjoyment, and if you are going to profit off of the growing do so with edibles and gourmet strains at a local marketplace or something. Otherwise, keep it to yourself.

It probably wouldn't hurt most of the people here if they passed this anti-spore law, but you have to realize that the Shroomery would have to find some new sponsors because the old ones would be going out of business.

They, along with any other easily obtainable natural substance,will never be legal. There is too much pork barrel money embedded in our national economy, to remove these from the list. If anything, regulation and control will become tighter.Quote:
