Are they breaking the law

Two 16 year olds pick some magic mushrooms in the woods and use them to make a drink. Are they breaking the law

not necessarily....but they may be foolish...what exactly constitutes "magic" mushrooms? who has identified them? more details are needed.

it is illegal, because they have possession of an illegal substance not matter how they obtained it..... but they would have to be caught with it. here it would be considered a fealony because it is having the posssesion of drug and/or drug paraphanalia.....

the thing is, it has to be identified as a controlled substance. if someone goes out and picks mushrooms they are not committing a felony. my grandmother used to do it. if they are gathering something in the wild which has not been classified and subject to control, there is no crime. if they go out and produce an illegal drug from the natural plant...then there is a violation of the law.

If they drank it they probably don't care if it's legal or not anymore. If they are male and female they will probably also be guilty of indecent in a public place very soon.

"Magic muushrooms" when cooked are an halucinagenic, bit like LSD, here in Britain its not a crime to pick or posses them, unless the police can prove intent.

Abby is correct. Bit like LSD and hallucinagenic.
In UK not illegal when eaten raw but become illegal if processed.

The main psychoactive substance in MM is PSILOCYBIN. In most countries this is illegal.
UNPROCESSED fresh MM are legal in some countries.

Lots of info on the web.
