Quote:
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) signed a psilocybin reform bill into law on Thursday, immediately reclassifying possession of up to an ounce of psychedelic-containing mushrooms as a disorderly persons offense.

The new classification means individuals caught with small amounts of psilocybin are now subject to a maximum $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail or both. Previously the offense was a third-degree crime and carried a penalty of between three to five years behind bars and fines of up to $15,000.

The change puts mushroom possession on par with simple assault, harassment, shoplifting or resisting arrest in New Jersey.


Presumably that's a dried ounce.
 

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

Man, i'd like to say that's a good thing, and if course half a year of better than 4 behind bars, but it's still pretty draconian. I'm struggling to see the reasoning behind this...

Uhhh, yay jersey?

They are basically legal where i live. Left coast, right coast.

Rather "progressive" of Murphy, good on him. Maybe he'll let up on his dopey virus war on civil liberties broadly...post haste!

Peace
