What is it with these people wanting to come to The DR to look for illegal stuff? Seriously dude, isn't there more fun stuff to do in The DR than looking for hallucinogenic mushrooms...Sheeshh...

I've got better things to do on my vacation than pick things off of $hit.

I dont think it is legal, have never heard of ""Magic mushrooms"" in this Country. But i have never asked around for it.

Yet another perfect example of why your view on the war on the drugs just won't work.

What?s all this fuss about ?magic mushrooms?, I, personally, myself (good grammar!!) have absolutely no interest in weirdo drugs, but if someone wants to looking for mushrooms or even grow his own marijuana or poppies I couldn?t care less as long as he doesn?t give them to anybody else. Live and let live is one of my mottos. Nevertheless mate I can?t help you in your search.

Asking this question in a public forum is plain silly and STUPID in my book.

There are myriad hallucinogenic plants in the DR. Most are part of the folk herbalist pharmacopea. Some current uses go way back to the Precolombian Tainos, e.g., cohoba ritual. Personally, as a folk healer, they are not part of my own medicinal herbarium. More so, since one of my mentors and teacher, a reknown healer south of San Juan de la Maguana, do?a Melita, died recently due for her fondness for an infusion made with datura (campanita), particularly after I had strongly advised her against its use.

Definitely a potentially fatal plant, it is actually illegal in many parts of the US and Canada. Kids get a kick out of eating it to get high, more than a few have died this way unfortunately...

My mother is an avid collectioner of these species....hmmm ;) Explains a bit!!!

i don't believe DR climate is particularly suitable for mushrooms, is it?
as for hallucinogenic plants you may settle for nutmeg.
buen provecho.

what a bunch of A-holes on this forum

all i asked was if it is legal or not.....i doubt i could get locked up for that , some of you people need to quit acting like little b*$&%es. if its legal i wanted to eat a couple and go to a nice beach or maybe hiking up in the mountains...somewhere pretty....i dont see anything wrong with that. there are some amazing places to be seen here...beautiful places, and a few shrooms would magnify that beauty 1,000 times...colors and details are MUCH more rich and vibrant, its hard to explain. people have been eating these things since the beginning of time, including the taino indians who drew pictures of it on cave walls. dont look down on me cause i occasionally enjoy doing something you dont know anything about. this isnt some junkie drug like cocaine or heroin..its more of a spiritual thing. there are actually many people who believe what was referred to as "mana" in the bible is actually hallucinogenic mushrooms because of the very clear description of how it grows overnight and spoils very quickly...google it. .. and yes...they do grow here. anywhere there is a few months of 70 degree or higher weather. i know exactly where to find them. they're legal in the uk and in some places inside the US(florida). anyway...the question was is if anyone knows if this is legal here or not. i dont care for your thoughts on if its right or wrong. mind your own business. and no poker+shrooms would not be a good idea, neither is poker+alcohol. ive played the game professionally on the internet for almost 3 years now...its all i do for work. i'd like to see how good the dominicans are at playing something other than dominoes. poker doesnt seem to be big here and im thinking the games at the casinos must be real easy.
