              i've even seen ads for indoor growing 'tents' to grow magic shrooms. they guarantee a certain % of germination per strain of spores.

                So, you are trying to pass off a study from over 10 years ago as current. Nice try.

                  I think slim and copier addict are right. I agree with copier addict that drugs should be legalized. Making them illegal has done nothing but increase crime and violence. On the other hand, slim is probably correct that there's more potential for abuse and addiction.

                        Not if you do it like California did, they actually managed to increase the illegal pot trade by taxing the legal stuff high enough to make the illegal cheap by comparison, while simultaneously making it harder to track where people are buying it from. No serial numbers on weed so no way to find the grower.

                          In that case the Darwin award was deserved. There are only a couple of deadly mushrooms out there, a lot more that will make you real sick and even more that will just upset your stomach.
                          The Amanita Muscaria is potentially deadly and the others that can be misidentified that contain amatoxins will cause a slow and painful death. Interesting is that "Christmas" comes from the Aminita Muscaria mushrooms growing under the pine trees and used in the festival once a year. Red and white presents delivered down the chimneys. When you see the rain deer flying you probably had enough.

                              What !!! . Ganga is one of the most addictive substance out there. True, it is not harmful in moderate use, but very few can control its usage when they start to use it. I smoked that thing for a long time, and like cigarettes, the cravings get to you when the brain says " I need it '.
                              I am free from it from it now, but in my youth, it was a bad habit.

                                I little clarification from some who lives in California. Not only are the illegal street drugs less expensive but the legal dealers have become targets for criminals who want the large quantities of cash at the legal dealers and the dealer's stock of weed.

                                As for being hard to find growers, outdoor groves can easily be spotted using aerial infrared photography. Growing Cannabis produces more heat than surrounding vegetation.
