Narcotic is substance or drug derived from plants or not plants, whether synthesis
and semisynthesis, that can cause to drop or change consciousness, loss of sense,
reduce to losing painfull and may inflict dependence distinguished into classesclasses
as attached in this legislation. One example of phenomenon that now has
potential as a serious problem which must be examined and dealt with the issue be
solved, is widespread abuse of magic mushroom which according to Act No. 35
of 2009 is the one that is included in the list of narcotic group I, namely substance
group of psilosibin where the content of these substances exist in the magic
mushroom or psilocybin mushroom. Magic mushroom is a psychedelic mushroom
species, commonly called gold caps, golden tops, cubes, purple rings or boomers.
In Indonesia the knowledge of this fungus as a cow dung fungus which this
fungus belong to the genus psilocybe. Mushroom Psilocybe Cubensis or cow dung
fungus can be found throughout South America, Asia, Europe and Australia.
Psilocybe Cubensis is a type of fungus that grows and lives above the suface of
the dung breed like cows, buffaloes, bulls and others. This fungus can grow in any
climate, in the mountins or at the edge of sea. From an understanding of criminal
provisions and rules according to Act No. 35 of 2009 about narcotics group I
above, has been very clearly mentioned that the magic mushroom as narcotics
group I in the form of the plant should not be misused with the left free to be sold
or produced, distributed and consumed by the public at large. This fungus is not
the usual type of mushrooms that are fit to be consumed, but rather a fungus that
can cause hallucinations. It should not need to doubt any longer that all the rules
about the crime that exists in Act No. 35 of 2009 is a crime. The most
fundamental reason is the narcotic drugs should only be used for the treatment and
the importance of science, then when there is an act outside those interests should
be a crime.
