Psilocybin mushrooms, also known as magic mushrooms, are illegal to sell and possess when treated as mushrooms. However, their consumption in private places is decriminalized. The possession, production, and distribution of psilocybin remain illegal at the national level in most countries, slowing research. In the U.S., growing spores that contain psilocybin or psilocin remains illegal. A recent DEA response confirmed that psychedelic mushroom spores on their own are not federally prohibited.
The federal government created new drug policies that classified entheogenic plants and substances like peyote, DMT, ibogaine, mescaline, and psilocybin mushrooms as illegal. Many jurisdictions have decided that magic mushrooms should be legal, with some countries fully legalizing them and others allowing magic mushrooms or their active ingredient psilocybin. Colorado just legalized “magic mushrooms” amid growing research into psilocybin use.
Psilocybin is a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, with high potential for abuse and serving no purpose. The legal status of unauthorised actions with psilocybin mushrooms varies worldwide. Psychedelics include psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, ayahuasca, peyote, truffles, and psilocybe cubensis mushrooms (magic mushrooms).
Magic mushrooms are undergoing a transformation from an illicit recreational drug to a promising mental health treatment. The top Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has affirmed that spores producing magic mushrooms are not federally prohibited.

Psilocybin containing mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with BPD. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
MUSHROOMS ARE NOT PLANTS, THEY DO NOT PHOTOSYNTHESIZE. They are more closely related to humans than either one of us are to plants. If you want to make an argument for, come with facts, not ignorance. Now, this is ridiculous, that the police get to determine how much those mushrooms are worth! You don’t know if he was eating them himself (highly unlikely), giving them away for free (plausible) or selling them (likely). But for the cops to give them value says something in and of itself.
We need to start a petition for this poor kid. The government can prescribed pharmaceuticals that cause cancer and give our kids red #40 in candy which also cause cancer but a kid growing mushrooms that helps with PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction issues & actually create new neural path ways in your brain is the bad guy. Our taxes should be put toward busting meth labs, heroin dealers, you know real drugs… These mushrooms come straight from the earth & are 100% natural. Now the kids gonna have his life ruined and put in prison with murders, rapists, child molesters, alcoholics,etc. Shame on these officers that made the arrest. Shame on America for being so ignorant & greedy. Go arrest real criminals & not kids that aren’t doing anything wrong!
Conneticut should be ashamed of itself. Mushrooms are healing and therapeutic and legal elsewhere. Correlating plant medicine to crack cocaine by glorifying “drug busts” is deplorable. All they did was ruin an entrepreneurs life and harm the supply chain. A midsize operation like this was most assuredly supplying coubtless PTSD victims doctors therapists and legal businesses as well.
So, the street price of mushrooms is around 5-10 dollars, that’d mean he’d have to have 1-2 METRIC TONS of magic mushrooms to be worth that multi million dollar price. And looking at the pictures, they found 10 thousand dollars worth TOPS. From experience a large ziploc freezer back is around a hundred dollars. Most departments will do this hyper exaggeration to bring in extra funding and resources. Theyll weigh the products with the bins, or the dirt they grow in, or quite literally put their thumb of the scale. Usually at the cost of labelling some drug dealling kid who can barely afford food as a “multi millionaire drug king-pin”. They get put in the news, they look good to their supervisor, then the budget stays intact.
Listen to the kiss ass talk about the horrors going on just next door. Good thing he didn’t mind his own Business – now that criminal will receive a life sentence or damn near. Good job, great neighbor! Part of him could sense during the interview that he knows he is a POS. Shrooms aren’t fentanyl, crack or whatever it is you stay in line push overs think it is in your thoughtless minds.
All of this fuss over psychedelic fungus? Bravo, officers! Bravo, indeed. I sincerely hope you are adequately compensated with my hard-earned tax dollars for safeguarding us from the thoughts we choose to entertain. By the way, if you have a moment, perhaps you could dedicate your commendable vigilance to the potholes that threaten to swallow our vehicles whole, an equally perilous venture for the unwitting citizen.
they were running air conditioners on a cold day? no, they werent. they were maybe running some air exchange. but impressive set up and shame on that neighbor for being such an uptight killjoy. when his son comes home gay as hell and high on meth, he will hope one day he finds mushrooms and it helps him heal. (btw, since when is 9months “so long”? Good Lord i dislike that “man”)
i hope that neighbor knows there aint a man in his family. Ridiculous. If you had an issue, for some reason and were incapable of minding your business, go talk to the fella, it’s your neighbor. Remember once upon a time when we all knew each other and were on speaking terms with our neighbors, it would be wild to call the cops on one of them, much less doing so without talking to them first. Just embarrassing all around and a waste of resources.
It is legal to buy the grow kits and spores for many different kinds online. articles on how to grow are all over the internet. It seems they are legal in the eyes of most, just not the simple minded weirdos. Do not come to my house I might have grown too many tomatoes this year. One last thing. 8 MILLION my as s!!!!!!!!!!!!!! News just hyping it up
Most adults are actually immature children inside… The level of ignorance, submission stupidity, no wonder why the world is such a mess… The brainless sheeps think that they can think… How pathetic Mushrooms saved my life, that is all there is to it… So sorry for this boy, soon it will all be de-regulated anyway
You should’ve grown In Florida you just get your lawn sport up and then just wait for the Flushes they’ll keep coming all year, my father used to go to a golf course with his friends once in a while right next to a damn freaking trap there was like a wet area and that area time it rained it would be just filled with like 1000 or God knows how many more than that and it was like the first one to get there right after the rain when they started to pop up a couple times have to freaking do rock paper scissors because there was too many groups show up and there’s five different groups ready to pick it’s like OK I was here no OK yeah you were but I was your second so I get this well I called dibs on this I called dibs on the you can’t do that. We are here too. The secret is they didn’t bother to look at the other wet spots. They’re more like damp spots and the liberty caps, the best in the world were everywhere and every fool only went to that one spot I managed to keep one for almost a year and a half until somebody with a brain realized that hey what’s he doing over there? What’s that doesn’t look like collecting golf balls, but the good part about the in Florida, Florida has so many mushrooms they can’t make your lawn illegal because they pop up half of Disneyland Disney World rather if people just look around they’ll find them underneath everything
Those who need this long awaited chance at recovery from Trauma shouldn’t have this opportunity squashed, because a child was left to their own devices and didn’t have the capacity to handle their shit. We owe so much to our veterans who sacrificed everything for the machine. The least we can do is keep offering this so our Vets can be whole again.
chemically, shrooms are very safe for your body, as you would have to eat an ENOURMOUS inhumane amount of them in order to be in danger of overdosing on it. I guess harm could come if a person does something dangerous and life threatening to themselves or others around them while their perception of reality is warped by the mushrooms, which is why I always recommend having a trip sitter. But you have to also consider that the massive overwhelming number of people who trip on mushrooms and don’t get any negative effects but actually positive health and mental health effects.
Shrooms are ok. Those are the weakest form of psychedelics tho. Acid(LSD) and DMT are my favorite that’s where it’s really at. I experienced God and mother nature and I was shown the real purpose of being human. Changed my life, took the veil off my 3rd eye. I even understood why good and evil exist and how the universe works. I was reborn from it. I went through ego death and it was insane.
