Anti-shroom Police Propaganda Video on YouTube!

I just wanted to post a link to this video I found on YouTube. It is completely police propaganda. They insinuate that shrooms can kill you. Lots of fucked up facts on this video. It was filmed in the UK I think. The sad thing is, these police treat the "criminals" better than any cops in the US would. Any cop I have met anyway. Please watch it and post your comments (here and on Youtube). Thanks

Sorry about that. I was looking for something else on YouTube and it popped up as a frequently viewed video. I hadn't seen it before. If you are Australian, didn't mean to offend you. Also, if you are Australian, you seem to have semi-decent cops (as far as cops go). Where I live they would have sent the dogs on you and then had you in handcuffs, yelling in your face. All for what? Harmless mushrooms.

I appreciate the clarification. I guess I should have checked around the shroomery to make sure I wasn't putting redundant stuff on here. I always thought Australia was a pretty relaxed place. Do they really have that many cops dedicated to finding people foraging for shrooms? I live in the desert, so the cops around here wouldn't know a shroom if it was up their ass. Meth is king here.

Typical stale propaganda film, highlighting the need to protect a psychologically fragile society/mental imprint. Oh how feeble they all are...

Very well stated. Like the dude in the video says "God put them there, why can't we eat them?" I have been in areas where the county government has special teams that go out and find shrooms and ditch weed and "irradicate" them. On OUR TAX DOLLARS! Those self righteuous, pious asswipes!

That would explain a lot. I'm not gay, but I have some gay friends. Maybe it was a bad batch.

Its very sad that man cant do what he want to do himself. Its nobody's business if one choose to take shrooms. Mushrooms make no harm to no one, if they are right (psilocybe) mushrooms. Those cops should bust real criminals, instead shroom pickers.

'Course they're not gonna smack the poor fellow up on a film, used for promoting their presence :P
But yeah, i'd personally be with an Aus Copper than a screw from the US. I've had some worthwhile experiences with cops whilst on drugs, it's been quite entertaining at times (only when looking back on it, of course >.>)

The cop even says "its not nessacerily right its just the way it is" in reference to the law and why alcohol is legal and shrooms are illegal.
Hes admitting that hes enforcing something he either doesn't understand or doesn't agree with. If the law said old people must have sex with children then kill them this sheep of a human being would probably also happily enforce that.

I'm not doing this to be an ass, though that's usually the reason people do this type of shit; I just wanna clarify, I'm not sure you used "Pious" right
adj 1: having or showing or expressing reverence for a deity; "pious readings" [ant: impious] 2: devoutly religious; "a god-fearing and law-abiding people" H.L.Mencken [syn: devout, god-fearing]
Law-abiding, I guess could fit, but it seems to be more about religion than anything
Anyways, lol at least it's not like America where they tell you it's addicting like heroin and fatal and will make you murder your mom and jump out of buildings
I'd trade that in for a friendly disagreement and calm, non-judgemental car search any day. If you're getting your car searched here it's already way beyond friendly banter
To Sam; I agree personally, but legally, when an officer is stopping you under suspicion of picking mushrooms, and he finds a bag of mushrooms near where you were purposely hiding from the police, that's absolutely reasonable cause to search.

I don't see what's so wrong about this video?
It is a big concern that people know the exact strain of mushroom so they don't pick the poisonous ones, that often look similar to ones that are essentially non-toxic.

I was thinking the same thing
The only real "problem" with it is the general illegal status that it has everywhere, but yeah, at least they do have a big concern about the actual SAFETY of the users for the most part, because I'm sure there's lots of teens/young adults who go out and have no fucking clue what they're doing, they just happen to have eaten shrooms before and know that they do grow there, and go picking There's SO MANY LOOKALIKES
Personally I would never ever go picking. I'd probably have to take some courses in it before I felt confident doing that.

The issue isn't the cops saying "watch out for the poisonous ones" though. They stated that yes but I don't really think thats the issue at all, if it was then a simple solution would be to make mycology mandatory at school.

If that was the discussion we were gonna have then you could go find any old video, or not even find a video and just make a thread about illegality of mushrooms.
But the thread is about that video, and the point being made here (at least by me) is that the officers in the video had very decent reasons, that they believed to be valid. Such as eating them as soon as you get to your car and driving home tripping balls, or picking the wrong mushrooms, which is not a small problem, or something to take lightly at all, and instituting mandatory mycology classes is a completely unrealistic solution to that problem.
What the fuck would ever make you think that a country/school system would say "Hey, kids eat mushrooms! Let's teach them about how to pick them properly <3 "
Seriously. Obviously it sucks that they're illegal and that's "the real issue". But that's really not got much to do with this thread, since the point of the thread is that the video is "police propaganda".
