Not sure if that one grows here, I've not heard of it.
I haven't taken any mushrooms or LSD for over a decade, I think you can damage your mental health if you take them over a long period. I miss the laughing fits but not the come downs.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
Just to throw this out there - it is really hard to have a real physical overdose on most psychedelics. LSD and psilocybin are incredibly non-toxic. What most people think of as an overdose is just the person freaking out...but that is possible with any amount of mind altering substance (although you are more likely to freak out after taking 10 hits of acid than 1). Has a lot to do with your general mental state. Mushrooms can cause some damage, but usually that is caused by clowns picking themselves and eating the wrong shroom.
Bills introduced in the Tennessee legislature would reform asset forfeiture laws to prohibit the state from taking property without a criminal conviction. The legislation also takes on federal forfeiture programs by banning prosecutors from circumventing state laws by passing cases off to the feds in most situations.
. . .
The Tennessee bills also close a loophole that allows prosecutors to bypass more stringent state asset forfeiture laws by passing cases off to the federal government under its Equitable Sharing forfeiture program.
. . .
As the Tenth Amendment Center previously reported the federal government inserted itself into the asset forfeiture debate in California. The feds clearly want the policy to continue.
Why?
We can only guess. But perhaps the feds recognize paying state and local police agencies directly in cash for handling their enforcement would reveal their weakness. After all, the federal government would find it nearly impossible to prosecute its unconstitutional “War on Drugs” without state and local assistance. Asset forfeiture “equitable sharing” provides a pipeline the feds use to incentivize state and local police to serve as de facto arms of the federal government by funneling billions of dollars into their budgets.
Last year, Ohio passed a law that prohibits taking assets valued at less than $15,000 without a criminal conviction. Other states also passed differing degrees of reform, including New Hampshire, Florida, Montana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland and New Mexico.

"[W]e hope to issue this week a new directive on asset forfeiture—especially for drug traffickers," Sessions said. "With care and professionalism, we plan to develop policies to increase forfeitures. No criminal should be allowed to keep the proceeds of their crime. Adoptive forfeitures are appropriate as is sharing with our partners."

LSD is the only drug I really miss.
I think psilocybin and mescaline are overrated, personally.
