I dont believe spores are legal in Cali
They are not.
Any organization outside of California using the mail to send spores is in violation of federal law.
Any organization sending spores from inside California is in possession of a California controled substance.
I had always wondered how this works.
If you have what is a legal substance then you have broken no law. If the substance is legal in your state then how can sending it be illegal?
There is no federal law forbidding the possession of spores.
But Tommy chong went to federal prison for sending a bong, which was legal in his own state, to a state where bongs are illegal.
I believe it comes under the genera heading of "wire fraud"?
Not sure really.
But who gets punished? In chongs case, the selling party. One would assume only the receiving party would be punished in his own state.
Clearly, I am wrong in applying logic to a legal precept.
