Won’t this criminalise those where magic mushrooms are growing naturally in their garden?
In the Home Office’s view, a person would not be committing an offence solely by reason of a naturally occurring substance (the mushroom) growing in their garden. We are bringing in regulations at the same time as section 21 is commenced to make it clear under what circumstances it will not be unlawful to possess magic mushrooms and this will include having mushrooms growing untended in a garden.
