Reminds me of when a friend ordered some San Pedro cactus over the internet "for religious sacrament." It included a note indicating that they ran out of the exact variety that he ordered, but they thought that he'd be very happy with the one they sent because it was stronger when used for religious purposes.
(San Pedro cactus contains mescaline. It's perfectly legal to grow for ornamental purposes.)
- at_compile_time 5y agoMushroom spores are sold online for "microscopy purposes only".
- mmmpop 5y agoThey don't contain the active ingredient that is specifically illegal, which is what I always heard made the "loophole" possible. Would be interested to know if that's true (but too lazy to alt-tab and search myself.)
- 55555 5y agoNot sure why you are being downvoted. Perhaps for laziness. Spores indeed do not contain psilocybin.
- celticninja 5y agoSame reason that cannabis seeds tend to be legal but germination of them is illegal.
- mmmpop 5y agoI wasn't too lazy I was just interested in a conversation with people on the orange site instead of a boring Google search. Forgive me.

- Scoundreller 5y agoI mean, I wouldn’t IV the latex either.

- Cthulhu_ 5y ago"bath salts" comes to mind, wasn't that a nickname for some wack shit? Over here, huffing nitrous oxide is a thing, but it's sold as pressure gas for whipped cream dispensers and the like.
- celticninja 5y agoThe difference being that they are/were legitimately sold for whipped cream dispensers prior to them being used to get hight. Wine bricks were designed to get around a ban.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoIIRC mescaline or peyote (maybe they're the same? I don't know) is nowadays legally protected under religious laws, but iirc there's a lot of caveats around it (region, tribe, etc).
- mytailorisrich 5y agoPeyote is the plant, a cactus, and the active chemical it contains is mescaline. Peyote is only legal for native americans religious ceremonies, afaik.
- cestith 5y agoAIUI the plant is legal but consuming it, growing it for consumption, or preparing it for consumption is only legal for religious purposes. I could be misremembering, and state laws may vary anyway.
- int_19h 5y agoAnd then there's Delta-8 THC which was accidentally legalized by the 2018 law that was intended to legalize industrial hemp.
