Some more shroomers looking to server 20 years |

http://www.hempbc.com/articles/2897.htmlBased in the small Washington town of Amanda Park, the four defendants allegedly sold psilocybe mushroom spores and kits by mail-order through the internet and ads in High Times magazine.
In an article in the Seattle Times, one of the McPhersons' Amanda Park neighbors said the mail-order business wasn't much of a secret. "It's a small town," said the unnamed neighbor, who described Robert McPherson as an intelligent, talented jazz musician in his mid-50s. "They've been great neighbors, really nice people," he added. "They've been awesome with my kids."
If convicted, each of the accused faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Last year, Japan moved to shut down once-legal mushroom dealers. As of June 2002, possession of psychoactive mushrooms in Japan can get a maximum seven year sentence, equivalent to that for heroin and cocaine.
The Dutch Supreme Court apheld their convictions, ruling that only fresh mushrooms are legal, and they cannot be dried, ground or otherwise processed. Fresh mushrooms are still sold openly in numerous Dutch shops.

A nothing crime, yet here in my home state of Minn I heard today that childcare provider got 10 year (one-half of a 20 year sentence to save you the calculations) for sexually molesting TWO 4 year olds in his care.
And we wonder why we don't have enough prison space for violent offenders. Prisons, the new American business enterprise.
