Teen Sells Fake Shrooms, Faces Real Time
July 6th, 2009 by Rick
Long story short.
Dumbass in New Hampshire and two accomplices come up with the brilliant idea of selling store bought shiitake mushrooms, mixed with blue food coloring, as a hallucinogenic drug for $900. Unfortunately for them, the person buying the mushroom was a CI (cooperating individual or confidential informant,) who gladly told the police about the deal. The Police used serial trackable money and staked out the “drug” buy.
The result lead the seller directly to jail and trial, where he was sentenced 1-3 years in a state prison for selling a controlled substance and conspiracy to sell a controlled substance. His other two buddies are facing charges as well. Only in America.
Professional Skateboarder Sees God After Shrooms
June 8th, 2009 by Rick
In an interview last Wednesday, professional skateboarder Jereme Rogers apologized for his the actions from early Monday morning of that week, when he took some mushrooms, stripped off his boxers and wound up preaching naked on the rooftop of his house in Redondo Beach. Luckily police were able to snatch him to safety before he wound up seriously hurting himself.
Rogers, the 24-year old athlete said:
It obviously was not an everyday experience. [...] It was a very out-of-body experience. I’ve never had an experience like that. [...] It was obviously something I shouldn’t have done. It was just something that happened. [...] I literally was walking on the edge. [...] They said my balance was amazing.
Redondo Beach police Lt. Jim Acquarelli and other officers were attempting to bring him down without incident. Lt. Acquarelli noticed that Rogers had a tattoo that read “In God We Trust.” Talking about his own religious experiences, the Lt. gained Roger’s attention and the officers were able to grab him.
Lt. Acquarelli said:
He would have fragmented, interrupted conversations with people that weren’t there. [...] He never lost his balance. [...] The potential was there for it. If he had taken a few negligible steps to the right, that would have impeded his balance and would have led to his demise.
Rogers was not arrested and was under 72-hour observation at County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center — charges may be pending. During the interview, Rogers rolled a marijuana joint but didn’t smoke it in front of the reporter saying that he was a medical marijuana patient and registered card holder.
The Cure for Fungi-phobia

Ron Mann loves mushrooms the way PETA loves animals. And furthermore, he wants everyone else to love them as much as him.
In his latest documentary, Know Your Mushrooms is aimed at clearing up some myths about the naturally occurring psilocybin factories, and telling some interesting stories from Mann’s drug-addled journeys.
The clip after the jump is Mann talking about his first mushroom trip, a grey desert and the wolf he saw. Oh yeah, and a fridge full of drugs.

Netherlands Passes Ban on Mushrooms
November 13th, 2008 by Perry
Mostly an import from Hawaii, Ecuador and Mexico, the hallucinogenic, “magic mushrooms” are now banned in the Netherlands. Mushrooms have been freely available for years in the country.
The ban was passed due to outrage over a French girl, 17, who jumped from a bridge to her death while under the influence of mushrooms. The move seems to come as a wave of reform is being pushed by the local leaders who hope to clean up the image of the nation.
Amsterdam city council supports the government’s ban, hoping it will change the general perception of the city as a mecca for drug users and the sex industry.
Shop owners have claimed the ban will result in hundreds of jobs being lost and are planning protest marches.
A Dutch magic mushroom customer said:
Sunday lunch just won’t be the same. I always used the mushrooms in my stew for friends. They produce a nice relaxing glow, much better than alcohol.
Most definitely.
Josh Heytvelt Mushroom Bust
February 26th, 2007 by Alex
Our friends over at Celeb Stoner were able to locate some detailed pictures of Gonzaga basketball player Josh Heytvelt’s drug arrest.
Turns out that he’s using the old ‘that ain’t mine‘ defense. Yea, I frequently find 33 grams of mushrooms randomly placed in my backpack with no knowledge of how they got there. What a coincidence.
Looks like he was planning on having a lot of fun, which has now turned into a lot of problems. Too bad he’s a member of a nationally watched basketball team, or else this would go completely under the radar.
See all the pics after the jump.
