Didnt even realise they were legal in the first place.

Bollox!

Mr Magnolia

Only the sale of them is banned, you can still grow them, pick them and/or eat them! I've never tried them BTW.

smart ****ers waited till the picking season was over .... what im worried about is that people will over pick, everyone knows the famous spots like the really high up place that we wont mention but thats going to be sooo over picked, i hope come picking season people will be more inventive :P

And does anyone actually have the law changes? i think POSSESSION of them is illegal and USE of them is illegal so indoor growing would be illegal and i supose if there growing in your back yard they would also be illegal cause you posses that space

farmers and green keepers beware so. All I kept hearing was the sale and consumption was illegal. I think they need to leave a loophole for naturally growing ones, to stop farmers being prosecuted.

stovelid

Don't do them anymore but never paid for them. Why would anybody pay for them when they are freely available? I think its just the preparation and sale that's illegal.

PTL

well if its the possesion then im going to try get some farmers that i dont like arrested all it will take is one farmer to be arrested and the streets of dublin will be full of illegal red desel tracktors protesting

and then give it another 9 months or so and guess what will be born ... the death of an actuall young lad who will go picking cause he can't buy them and will never have went before or go with someone who has before and will eat a poisonous mushroom

Then the government will probably ban mountain walking or more then 2 youths in a field they come up with some classic ideas

stovelid

I remember heading out to a fairly well known spot with friends years ago to pick some (Stovelid, Stovelid Mansions, Minister Harney). We hopped on the first bus, hungover, with plastic bags foolishly hanging out of our jacket pockets. When paying the young bus driver, he winked at us and said in an Dublin accent, "next stop Happy Valley, lads?"

rick_fantastic

people were buying them cos the season for magic mushrooms here is only a couple of week long. id before the first frost in november.

plus walking around a field for hours to get enough shrooms is a pain in the arse. id rather pay 15€ for a punnet of mexican truffles. luckily i stocked up and have bout 10 punnets stashed!

drdre

ah they are banned anyway just smoke the W**d.its better and safer

They're all over the place where I live, see loads of people heading up to get them.

Good advice drdre

Although I will miss the good old mushrooms. I even got my mother to have a few once. Good times eh?

StephenInsane

Typical of backwards Irish bureaucracy. I guess it's OK to get thanked up and behave like a raving lunatic, while me and my mates who just want to eat some mushi's and chill out are criminals.

stovelid

mushies are free, no money going into your favourite lobby pockets i guess :mad:

weed is great but its a bit addictive(just cause its so good) and dublin prices have gone to nearly 350 an ounce ... hash is horrible and just pure chemicals and crap

on another thread on boards theres a download of identifying liberty caps and its very well done on of the lads on here made it

Why do people buy normal strains of particular mushrooms that can be bought in the wild. Time to travel, petrol expenses, risk of picking the wrong ones, risk of contaminated correctly identified ones.

****, I wish I'd never opened my mouth. According to Noel Ahern the legislation had been planned to come in by summer. That was 2 weeks ago!

Until the legislation is available in black and white it's not clear but according to the press reports I think they're now illegal to sell AND possess (ie pick or grow). However it's still open to challenge whether the law can make growing from spores or kits illegal while wild unpicked shrooms are considered exempt (assuming they are).

For example in the UK "Drugs Act 2005" it states:

21. Inclusion of mushrooms containing psilocin etc. as Class A drugs

In Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (c. 38) (Class A drugs), in paragraph 1, insert at the appropriate place-


"Fungus (of any kind) which contains psilocin or an ester of psilocin."

That means any shroom, wild or cultivated is illegal in the UK and anyone with them on their land is technically a criminal. That may now be the case here as well.

Its worth noting that shroom spores DO NOT contain either psilocin or psilocybin and are therefore not included under the definition of "Fungus (of any kind) which contains psilocin or an ester of psilocin."

But, as I say this is all speculation until the legislation is published.

diddler

Oh yea...I forgot to mention. According to the Uk home office, who make this c rap up, the accidental picking of magic mushrooms in the UK won't be subject to the law. LOL

"Sorry ossifer I fell onto these mushrooms and they went down my mouthpart. I do find those paterns on your uniform amazing though, may I go for a ride in your flashing white spacecar?"

PTL

we must start up a mushroom picking of ireland group and only pick native species and if by accident we pick illegal ones we will despose of them but they will be in with our basket of other legal mushrooms :P

Vic Vinegar

they only become illegal when they are dried out apparently, so you can pick them and the law can do nothing, they grow in our garden!!! bloody big ones too!

Guru Maith Agut

Don't all go blaming Mary Harney though! Why not blame Joe Duffy who was behind the show that highlighted the situation as regards the open selling of them in certain shops around de country... Check out the link to Mondays show when it all started and some well to do mother came on saying her daughter was going to kill herself and wanted to walk out in front of traffic cos she thought the cars would just drive through her... Great show tbh and it starts from the beginning so no need to stream through it at all and then he gets on to the same guy who was selling them on the Tuesday show (linky http://www.rte.ie/radio1/liveline/) and asks him if he's sad that they've been banned :eek: Good for an hours listen I feel.
Enjoy!

And feel free to get banned in doing so :v:

Firstly you need a plugin, its 5mb it think

http://www.lizardtech.com/download/dl_download.php?detail=doc_djvu_plugin&platform=win

and then its a rapid share file so you have to click the link .... wait about 20 seconds then put in the random letter thing and then it downloads its only 0.8mb

*****
edited out cause as i was writing it the moderator said id get banned for posting something that just was a picture of a native species its not actually how to pick them at all or anything its just information like how big the cap is and the stem and a picture of a few of them not even in the ground .... can i put the link back in or will i post it to you to let you look
*******

it was made by diddler so all the credit for it goes to him ... you can see how much liberty caps change so picking them is impossible without a bita research and basically if in doubt **** em out ... dont pick or eat anything your not sure ... its not worth the hastle and if you pick something and arnt with someone experianced then take 6-7 pictures from different angles and post it to any of the mushroom forums and the lads/lassies there will tell you if its ok

Now i DONT think i broke the rules there cause i didnt really say anything illegal or tell them where to go ... if i did im sorry and ill edit all the stuff out i respect boards.ie policy on drugs ... its stern but fair haha (wrote that before the you posted giblet)

and mountain lips ... firstly if there big id say there not what your after and also that USED to be the law but now it looks like you posses your land and everything on it YOUR A DRUGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DRUGIES OUT!

My name is Mud

Press reports said that the man, in his thirties, died after jumping out of the balcony of his apartment.

A quote of the late great Bill Hicks springs to mind

"If he thought he could fly, then why didn't he try to take off from the ground?"

meh!

Giblet

The charter has been updated with regards to Shrooms.

- Patronising ****e! they are mm's, im not too keen on them myself so less of the druggie (2 g's) accusations please.

PTL

haha mountain lips i was only joking and pointing out what this law will mean to anyone who has them naturally growing ... the most ive seen a libery cap is about 3inches tall and the stem the width of a pencil led ... if that sounds right then your my new best friend and can i come visit you around september haha

Giblet i read the new charter and i still think the link should be allowed because it doesnt tell you where to pick them and how to pick them its just the charateristics of them its like ....

oak trees ... grows to a hieght of blah... has certain colour leaves, the trees shape is like blah, and heres some pictures of oak trees ... its scientific facts not a hunting guide ... i wouldnt dare post a hunting guide here but my biggest fear is that people arnt educated what ones not to pick and could die. If you still think i shouldnt post it then i wont bring this up again

Giblet

And what happens if someone follows that and gets very sick from picking the wrong one? "I got the guide from boards.ie doctor"

rick_fantastic

why not just go picking them with some1 who knows what they look like.

personally im not into walking around fields picking mushrooms, it takes to long to get the quantities required to get a serious trip off em.

i have enough there for 5 quality sessions anyways after that ill just by a growing kit and make my own bad boys!

the mexican truffles are like little balls of chocolate they arent really like shrooms at all

PTL

there more chance of a person picking the wrong one without it and its not a guide on how to pick them its litterally just a sientific identification of a species

But i do take on board your point and if you think that it shouldnt be posted then people will just have to go without or search for older posts or on different forums or google or what ever. I just cant stress enough thath people should spend about 2days of constant reading before picking or if possible go with someone experianced the first time.

And rick truffles are manky tasting ive actually only tried them once and spent about 2 hours trying not to puke and then in the end gave in and puked i never even get nausia on mushrooms never mind puke think it was the texture tho

Giblet

Shít walnuts

SpAcEd OuT

What you prefer to see your kids take alcohol?

Yes

But alcohol is more damaging.....


But at least its legal


:rolleyes:

rick_fantastic

yeah the truffles taste pretty manky but they give u a good old trip on one punnet.

they taste kinda metally when u chew them, but there are grand if u wash em down with a bottle of wine or spirits of some sort!

beer and truffles dont go well together

SpAcEd OuT

dont think so, i saw the shops selling them at half price trying to get rid of them the other day.

see everyone in september.

Are growing kits and spores still legal?

PTL

haha rick are u mad! half the thread is about not mixing alcohol n shrooms haha I washed it down with a good owl YOP :P

Heard that theres not many visuals on truffles, but i think its time to give them another shot while theres still some kicking around... and you said you had 5 punnets but your not going to trip on your own so youve only 2 n half trips left

I heard that the TV3 poll ended up that only 45% of the public are happy with the ban ... yet again the poeple we apointed to represent our views make another mistake. Cant wait to see what **** up the guards new penilty points system thing will bring .. and how many million we will spend to either try fix it or store the useless machines

and space out ... shhh lets wait to see what the legislation is first and then any loopholes keep to yourself :P dont be ringing joe duffy or anyone else to tell them about how silly the guards are or they will patch up there amazing legal system
