    I could be mistaken but I was of the impression that the customs and excise had full powers of search & seizure over any import without illegality implied. I've looked for some T&C's as it were but can't find any that aren't written in legalese...

    while it could be argued that San Pedro contains an illegal substanse salvia contains no illegal substanses

    Doesn't matter what it contains, both are legal. The only thing this is a sign of is that customs are ars*h*les. They do have a lot of powers though but they cannot seize any legal items indefinitely. They're probably trying to piss the hemp shop off but they will still have to compensate the owner or return the goods.....eventually.

    I almost missed this.
    The UK has a catch-all law regarding RCs, similar to the anologue act in the States. AFAIK the only ones of these chemicals illegal in this country is 2c-i, 2-ct-2 and 2-ct-7, and this is because of an EU directive. So therefore I presume that the psilocybin anologues are still technically legal.

    Trust me that is totally wrong. There is a catch all law in place here as well!!!

    Can you elaborate? I have it on good authority that there is not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 diddler


    I can do better than that and save myself a whole lot of typing.
    (c) any substance (not being methoxyphenamine or a substance specified in sub-paragraph (a) above) structurally derived from phenethylamine, an N-alkylphenethylamine, µ-methyl phenethylamine, an N-alkyl-µ-methylphenethylamine, µ-ethylphenethylamine, or an N-alkyl-µ-ethylphenethylamine by substitution in the ring to any extent with alkyl, alkoxy. alkylenedioxy or halide substituents, whether or not further substituted in the ring by one or more other univalent substituents

    thats form the "Misuse of Drugs Regulations 1988" found here

    It may read like gobbledegook but it means all those things you mentioned are illegal!

    Anyway thats going waaay of subject.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 diddler

    Any legal people please translate

    Love the bertie + mary signatures.

    Seems to be a big exemption loophole.

    I don't see it, please explain.

    The first part is an order banning psilocin

    The second part is an exemption order for uncultivated psilocin - ie. in the wild

    Can anybody with a legal backround please translate ?

    Not quite but almost.
    Any "fungus of any kind or description" containing psilocin or esters (eg psilocybin) is illegal unless it is a growing (ie unpicked) "uncultivated" mushroom.

    Spores, which do not contain any active substances are exempt and therefore legal to purchase and possess but not to grow of course. That's the only loop hole I see in it.

    You're high right now, aren't you?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46 weedymchash


    geeez lads thanks for the vote of confidence, ive ordered kilos before, but ye know with the law change and all...

    im gonna go for it anyway, i figure the worst case scenario is i lose out on a couple of hundred euro. best case i get to have my magic week ive been planning.

    if customs get their hands on em theyll prolly just confiscate them. hopefully nothing more.

    ill let you's know how i get on.

    i am a martyr.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    i am a martyr.

    You're somethin alright...

    Why don't you just order about e50's worth to see if it gets through, and then progress from there?

    Seems pretty dumb to me but it's your money and you've obviously got plenty, so do what you like

    lol you think they will just confiscate them and that will be it?

    You can't be serouis?!

    Magic Mushrooms are CLASS A now meaning you will be treated like anyone else found importing CLASS A substances into the country, a polite knock on your door at 6am by 8 members of the drug squad, good luck

    I think you should order the kilo.
    May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.

    You think the drug squad dont have better things to do than moniter online purchases?
    Things like magic mushrooms wont be treated the same as drugs that are properly imported by known criminal organisations
