Misinformation regarding Psilocybin spore prints

For what its worth, in 1997 i tried to import spores of the magic mushroom variety and got a letter in the mail from the federal police stating that the item i was attempting to import was prohibited... nothing further eventuated but im sure it means my name is on some register somewhere...

The link isn't spam, it's proof to my case. My attitude gets brought out by people like you who chose to argue my case.

I base my information on facts. Nobody has EVER been incriminated for possession of spore prints in Australia, you wanna know why? Because they're legal :O :O

A simple way to prove my point is to look at the online spore vendors. They ship to Australia with no problems, but refuse to ship to states in America (like California) because spores are illegal in Cali, but not Australia. If it were illegal to ship to Australia the website will be taken down and the owners prosecuted.

Now please, get the f* out if you wish to argue!

U r sooo wrong. LMAO

People have been prosecuted for importing sporeprints.. I won't give out their names or details here, but trust me it has happened. Otherwise u should have been their layer and gotten them out of the several thousand dollar fine they had to pay.

Vendors based in another country don't care about your local laws. It is your responsibilty to check local laws before importing anything. Also, the sites are not governed by Australian law, so how the F do u expect Australia to have any juristdiction over an american based website. Best Australia can do is deny access to that site via Australian severs. But this is usually only done for kiddy porn sites.

Australian customs pass on illegal items all the time because they essentially don't know wtf they are looking at. A good example here woul;d be a friend who didn't relise he could have gotten 20 years in jail when he imported cappi bark which he thought was legal. However, if they'd chosen to they could have prosecuted him for upto 20 years jail.

U are sooo wrong and irresponsible by spreading misinformation as supposed fact. It could wind up with peeps getting into alot of trouble, especially since when they break ur door down they will prosecute u for everything else they find and can prove intent to manufacture a class A substance if they find grow guides, xtraction teks, etc

All that being said. Chances of getting a sporeprint through into Australia is nearly 99.9%. Prolly 100% if on paper instead of foil. But the FACT remains that u can still be charged if they realize wat u importing. Transfer of sporeprints internally within Oz however is not illegal, as for the reasons dextrous has described above. But no matter how much u try and fool yourself, importing sporeprints into Oz is still technically illegal.

Take ur chances. Most of mine arrive fine, sum do not. But they just dissappear without a trace, no customs.

This is my first and last post on this matter. Believe whomever u want, just don't come crying to me if u get caught.

Oh, and workman from sporeworx, actually works and produced all the Lab cultivated psilocybin Genre spores for sale through their site were grown and printed in Jamaca to circumvent US law, which only covers psilocin bearing material which spores are not, except those few states who have chosen to cover spores aswell. Once again though, Ameriica is not Australia, if it were Sally D and Kratom would still be legal along with a whole host of fun research chemicals. Australian law is a world away from us law. And state laws don't apply when importing sumthing into Oz, so just cause it's legal in one state, doesn't mean it's legal in another. U may not be breaking federal law, but u contravein state law. Once again, not customs job to know your state law. This also occurs vice versa.

This section explains what a ‘controlled drug’ is for the purposes of chapter 6 of the Criminal Code. A controlled drug is a substance listed in schedule 1 of this
Regulation and any ‘associated drug’ or ‘related drug’. The substances listed in
schedule 1 of this regulation are taken from schedules 8 and 9 of SUSDP report
no. 19. The SUSDP forms the basis for the scheduling and control of substances in Australia, and was the basis upon which the lists of ‘drugs of dependence’ and ‘prohibited substances’ were prepared for the 1993 Regulations. The schedule uses the Criminal Code heading, ‘controlled drugs’ but also incorporates the terms ‘drugs of dependence’ and ‘prohibited substances’, which are terms that are used in theDDA.

Associated drugs’ are the active principles of a substance mentioned in schedule 1 or any salt or derivative (a preparation or mixture) of such a drug. A ‘related drug’ is a substance that bears a specific chemical relationship to a schedule 1 drug but is not specifically listed. Similar provisions have existed in ACT drug schedules since 1989
(see the Drugs of Dependence Ordinance 1989).



ok since no one here was able to use google to look this up i did a quick search and found info for psilo containing plant in :


ACT http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/es/db_16219/current/pdf/db_16219.pdf

Just as a side note i think this is a really important thread and would like to see some answers out of this question, please be mindful of flaming each other and please support your legal arguments with direct links to information.

cheers

If you have no idea what you're talking about then don't comment or reply, misinformation spread amongst message boards (like these) are what makes forums so untidy and unreliable.


What's the point of this attitude? Woah so you got a package through, and oh my god you had a couple of threads closed down.

Just grow up. Mushrooms are plentiful in this country if you know where to go and who to ask. Just like it is with any other drug.

the ironing is delicious ;)


Mushrooms
A number of naturally occurring hallucinogens, such as plants and
fungi, are found in Australia. ‘Magic mushrooms’, ‘golden tops’
and ‘blue meanies’ are terms that refer to mushrooms containing
the hallucinogen psilocybin. Mushrooms can be brewed to produce
a tea or they can be eaten in milkshakes or in pasta dishes,
sandwiches, and so on.
These mushrooms produce effects similar to but milder than those
of LSD; the effects last about six hours. Heavy doses can cause
stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, shivering and dizziness. People
must take care if they are using mushrooms found in the wild
because poisonous mushrooms can cause serious medical
problems. Kits containing magic mushroom spores are sold through
a number of internet sites.

Current situation

Customs reported 33 detections of psilocybin being imported into
Australia in 1998–99
, an increase of 266 per cent on the nine
detections in 1997–98. The majority of importations arrive as
syringes or bottles of mushroom spores suspended in solution.

Twenty-one detections came from the Netherlands, 10 from the
United States and one each from France and New Zealand; all
detections but one arrived via the postal service. Twenty-three
detections were made in New South Wales and small numbers in
Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland. Jurisdictions reported
isolated instances of magic mushroom use and low arrest rates in
the last few years. The main users of mushrooms are males in the
15 to 29 age group. Drug and alcohol agencies reported low use
on the north coast of New South Wales and in rural areas of Victoria.

need more evidence that you are wrong?
 
Spores don't contain psilocybin, btw, whatever that article claims.
Whether or not customs object to them is another matter.wr
 
^ i dont contest that point at all. However, the article clearly shows that customs considers spores and mushrooms to be one and the same, and they do intercept them. This guy got lucky, doesn't mean people reading this thread will be so lucky if they foolishly accept his advice.

Maybe with a really expensive lawyer you could get out of it. We've all got one of them on retainer, dont we?
 
Agreed, I've had customs open and pass on xanax from South Africa before and also seize it from the same sources...so you're ideas are inconclusive.
 
I was once charged with attempted possession of a certain substance, I imagine that by importing spores they could argue that you are attempting to possess shrooms... getting it to stick may be another matter
 
Syringes are illegal spore prints arnt. Many countries wont even ship syringes. Ur better off making a syringe, as long as ur sterile it will be worth it and can save a few bucks.
 
I run an australian ethnobotany forum with a mycology section. I know two people personally who have been prosecuted for importing spore prints.

One was prosecuted under quarantine legislation [$2000 fine + court costs] and the other was prosecuted under state drug law [conviction, community hours, fine].

Some states list 'any part of Psilocybe spp' in their schedules.

Another person I know got raided after spore print interception by customs and they tried to prosecute him for 'intent to manufacture an illegal drug' on the basis of his books, computer documents, and other equipment he had in relation to mushroom cultivation.

It should be noted that the maximum penalties for quarantine offences have increased dramatically since the quarantine conviction [from $2,000 to $60,000], so getting busted this way may not be as cheap as it used to be. Also, when the quarantine folks raided this guy they came with federal police and state police in the hope that they could make some other charges stick by the way he responded in the on the spot video interview.
 
Sorry, I have to partly correct myself [and the original poster]. The importation of Psilocybe spore prints is a criminal offence under the Federal Criminal Code Act. This means that the importation of Psilocybe spores is prohibited nationally.

In the schedules for "Border Controlled Plants" it lists "Any plant of the species Psilocybe". Ignoring the fact that they have no idea of plant nomenclature, this scheduling includes all parts of any Psilocybe species.

Please note that this only applies to national borders, ie imports. This act does not prohibit the possession of spores within the country [however other acts in various states do].
