No more mushrooms

The great thing about calling a general election is that it allows you to rush through all sorts of shitty legislation whilst nobody's looking. Among other things, the recent Drugs Bill inserted a clause into the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 making magic mushrooms a class A drug no matter what form they are in. This means that fresh mushrooms are now illegal, so no more nipping down to the local headshop for a portion of cubensis.

Obviously it also means that it is illegal to 'possess' mushrooms by having them grow on your land. I suggest that, come the mushroom season, it is our collective responsibility as good citizens to report breaches of this fine law. I'm sure that, like myself, many of you have inadvertently stumbled across patches of farmland where these pernicious fungi manifest themselves year after year. Surely it is a matter of duty to report the landowners in question to the local constabulary and insist that they use the full force of the law to ensure that these evil people end up in jail where they belong.
