Possession
All personal drug possession has been an administrative matter, not a crime, since 2001.
Cultivation
Decriminalization almost never covers cultivation. It is written for personal possession, while growing is usually charged as production or supply, which carries far heavier penalties. In several places the difference between the two is the difference between a fine and a prison sentence. This entry does not separately track cultivation. Read the instrument named below and a local source before you act.
Spores
This entry does not name spores. Spores contain no psilocybin and are treated separately in many places, but germinating them is cultivation wherever the mushrooms are controlled.
