SF jury acquits man who forgot mushrooms were in his backpack
Wow.... acquitted because he forgot they were there--he wasn't guilty of possession since possession means you know you have it.

Wow...

"Wait, dude, what? I was like too stoned to know they were in there, ya know?"
Sounds like a reasonable defense to me.

1. I think you can legally collect them as a hobby, you just can't consume them.
Laws are stupid.

2. It's best to be a fungi in Frisco.
Hey, I lived there for many years and I know that it's not cool to call it 'Frisco" (which, by the way, is the legal name of a city near where I live now), but the minor alliteration was just too strong for me to avoid.
