Prohibited flora list for the dacha's property revealed
Get ready for some harsh consequences if you're found growing certain plants or mushrooms in large quantities on your garden plot. That's according to Igor Pozdnyakov, head of the Department for Protecting Consumer Rights of Roskachestvo, as reported by Lenta.ru.
Here's a rundown of some of the plants and mushrooms you should avoid: banisteriopsis caapi, harmala, blue lotus, cocaine bush, qat, three-colored morning glory, poppies containing narcotic substances, sage of the seers, Hawaiian rose, hostilis mimosa, panzolus, gymnopilus, conocybe, psilocybe cubensis, psilocybe semilanceata, pleurocybella porrigens, and pleurotus salicinus.
If those prohibited plants or mushrooms are found in large or especially large quantities on your plot, stiff penalties await. The specific punishment depends on the type and quantity of the prohibited substances. For instance, if you're growing mescaline-containing cacti, a large quantity is considered to be two or more plants.
Growing mushrooms containing psilocybin or psilocin is also a no-no. The penalties get more severe the larger the quantity of mushrooms you're growing. For example, 20 fruiting bodies equates to a large size, while 200 or more means you're dealing with an especially large size.
As for poppy varieties, those listed in Government Decree No. 934 (2010) are completely off-limits, while non-listed varieties are still legal for culinary and decorative use. The severity of punishment also increases based on the cultivation scale and the psychoactive substance concentration in the plants or fungi.
