    Magic kits for growing mushrooms are, Paul Daniels sells growbags with rabbits and doves and such coming out of them

    Kits for growing magic mushrooms aren't, there's a specific question on the sheet as to whether the mushrooms disappear or turn into Debbie McGee.

    Import them and come back and let us know.

    Our chemistry teacher asked us to write an essay on magic shrooms one day in school.

    I was doing ok until my pen turned into a penguin and started trying to peck my eyes out.

    im just curious on this one, ive seen other forums argue that growing them isnt illegal yet the sale of them or drying them out is

    I only ever took magic mushrooms once.
























    I went to pick some for a second time, but there were too many Smurfs guarding them.

    I'm not sure, but I'd say it's like it's legal to sell and buy cannabis seeds but it's not legal to germinate them.

    Fungi are different of course. Don't know.

    Possibly legal. A whole marijuana grow kit is simply labeled a tomato growing kit. So you could find then labeled as something else.

    Last time I took a magic mushroom it made me really big. But the flower I ate, made me spit fire, so that was cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 703 ✭✭✭celica1994


    think theyre out of season now, once a year from what i gather lol:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 803 ✭✭✭Rough Sleeper


    It's the active compound, psilocybin, that's illegal. This isn't contained in the spores so the grow kits aren't illegal, to the best of my knowledge.

    Fertiliser seems to have done away with most fields these days apparently. Haven't gone looking in 20 years at least myself, but that's what I hear!

    Also, stay away from giant billboards if you do grow them OP. The pictures will escape and try to suck you into 2D world. Not good. But they can't run very fast, so you should be fine ;)

    yea im just wondering tho would they consider it "intent to grow and sell" kinda thing buying a growing kit haha :rolleyes:

    If you do manage to grow them, just dont take them before exams.

    I took some magic mushrooms before my exams. I thought if I got high and took the test high I would get high marks.

    I hope I did well, I ended up copying off of the unicorn next to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 723 ✭✭✭Luke92


    I think in wording, magic truffles are not illegal. So they're an alternative!

    That's in the Netherlands where the mushroom is banned, but not psilocybin. Truffles aren't mushrooms so they're not illegal. But in Ireland psilocybin's illegal so truffles are also illegal by extension as they contain the psychoactive compound.

    Anyone else get an add for a 5 day mushroom course?

    I think FAS gives grants to do courses. This will be an interesting one. Guaranteed work.

    Ah-sure it's basically illegal for 'Nature' to grow magic-mushrooms, so the justice system should be taking Nature to court, or the mushrooms to court and fined for growing naturally in Ireland in september.

    At first light after the rain on september under the hedge-grows in the field :)

    Just buy some nice convenient acid and be done with it....

    It's not the same and can cause problems, I'd steer clear of pharma LSD. Or should I say man-made LSD. You don't know whether you are getting a double/triple-dip and this can easily send you into dundrum mental asylum for quite a while. Not recommended at all.

    With Irish naturally grown magic mushrooms you can control the intake when washed and cleaned well, as taking 20 magic mushrooms will just give you a light euphoria feeling, and 40 will be obviously double that feeling and so on. Paper LSD trips they sell on the street are complete and utter garbage, and I'd keep away from them for sure in my personal opinion.

    Only in september or if weather permitting and nice rain will you find magic mushrooms in Ireland. Once a year only grown naturally in nature here.

    Take a trip up to the Donegal mountains with a tent and good warm clothing as well as a radio and radio transmitter build a small fire in the rock-parts and cook some warm food and it can be nice, well away from the hustle & bustle from the city and concrete jungle. Quite an experience it can be :)

    Just use the standard Irish middle-management technique.


    keep them in the dark and feed them sh*t

    This is absolute nonsense, maybe if you are some sort of street level flute buying off randomers you won't know what you're getting, anybody with even a bit of nous would know not to go doing that in the first place.

    As for heading off into the wilds to take hallucinogens, I couldn't think of anything more pointless. And I love the outdoors. Give me music and excitement, sitting in a tent, in the dark, on drugs would be more likely to send me to the loony bin than a dose of decent acid....

    There season is in october.

    You can buy the kits online from the Netherlands and have to chance customs. They were made illegal in 2006 after some lad jumped off a building to his death in 2005 (irishexaminer.com/ireland/man-jumped-to-death-after-taking-magic-mushrooms-7042.html)

    The spores are legal to import but once you start cultivating them it's illegal

    Stupid law is stupid
