Spore Crackdown in Florida

And on the other end of the legal spectrum, Governor Ron DeSantis just signed a sweeping agriculture bill that makes it a crime to transport or possess psychedelic mushroom spores capable of producing psilocybin. Though spores don’t contain psilocybin themselves, the new law closes that legal gray area, making Florida one of the first states to explicitly ban spores. First-time violations now carry up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
