    Interesting choice for a title. Or is this the direction that federal law enforcement is now headed in? To hell with milligrams, we're after micrograms now!

    The THC laced mushrooms look delicous! Thanks for the heads up, DEA man.

    The DEA's up to it's old tricks, again: In the article LARGE OPIUM POPPY PLANTATION IN HERINGTON, KANSAS the DEA proceeds to get it wrong again: Based on interviews with the homeowners and no evidence of cultivation efforts or opium collection (all pods were unincised), the agents determined there was no criminal intent (apparently, the homeowners merely appreciated the appearance of the flowers, and were unaware of the legal status of opium poppies). Ahem...It is not illegal to grow the Papver Somniferum (opium) poppy plant. You can find them in any gardening shop; they've stopped printing the Latin name for them on the packages to avoid problems with the DEA. But anyone who knows what to look for can find them within minutes. It's when you incise the plants that is when you get into trouble. Like their lies about cannabis, the DEA has been telling this particular lie for years, and the gullible fall for it every time.
