I know the article touches on this a little, mentioning lack of enforcement, but they are pretty much "unofficially" decriminalized aren't they?

Like you can openly buy the spores used to grow them online and have them shipped to you without federal or state law enforcement knocking down your door, can't you?

I also know psilocybin isn't tested for on any standard drug panels. And K9 units can't sniff the mushrooms out.

Seems like you would have to put effort into getting in trouble over it.

That's not to say I don't agree that the law should be officially changed, to make sure some people don't fall through the cracks and get busted for it.

Agreed that it's already nearly effectively decrim by itself, and that it ought to be officially legalized for possession. Beyond that, I'm on the fence. Worried about Joe asshole coming off the plane and eating a whole 8th and winding up either in the Charles or the ER, and triggering a backlash. Like maybe for retail sales there needs to be a waiting period and/or a little presentation you need to sit through and answer a quiz about.

I figure yeah but if Joe Asshole is the type of person to do that with shrooms he has already done it already with pretty much every other legal substance anyway.
