I find this thread amusing. ;)

You certainly can smoke coco plant leaves.

And yes, mushrooms are illegal.. But since their spores contain no illegal substance, they are perfectly legal in most states. ;)

Well, ask yourself this--If a cop sees marijuana plants growing in your yard, what would he do (other than harvesting some for himself)?

I dunno...

Most cops are not going to do something that stupid that would jeopardize their job. Stop watching TV. More than likely he would get a warrant and be back with the local Narc unit.

Like it or not, the marijuana grows naturally all over the place. I grew up in rural South Dakota and although it wasn't common by any means, you could find it growing in the wild. If it was growing on your property and the cops found it they would simply make you destroy it or they would do it themselves. If it looked like you were cultivating it, then there was a problem, but like any other plant it will grow as a weed. As long as you don't pick it or plant it then it is not illegal to have on your property.

There are actually psychedelic mushrooms that do not contain psilocybin which are completely legal.
I believe they are called Amanitas.

One of the other questions was if she's smoked marijuana more than 15 times, and she has smoked close to 15 times but not more than 15....so she's wondering if those 2 things alone would be enough for her application to be thrown away.

I want to join the FBI too and I've only smoked once, and I've never done any other illegal drugs so I'm gonna guess my chances at least in respect to that are good...but I'm thinking that hers are not so good...
Well, that's just stupid of you to ask then (or post here). Think about it: the FBI is asking you if you have ever done an illegal drug. How do you think you should answer?

You wouldn't have the "tripping" effect then right? Whats the point

I don't have anything to hide, hence me posing here...and considering that they give you a polygraph test....what do you think my answer would be?

Psilocybin isn't the only chemical that makes one trip.
