Criminals named: Roskachnoye reveals gardening dachas facing severe penalties
Flower Power? Not So Fast!
May 4th, 00:09 - Gardening Watchdog Warns
Tread carefully when tending to your home garden! Those innocent-looking greens might just land you in hot water. Yes, even your cozy backyard can become a danger zone if you accidentally or intentionally grow "no-no" plants and mushrooms in your plot. Don't believe us? Think again, because fines and even jail time can be yours for the taking!
In an interview with "Lenta.ru," Igor Pozdnyakov, a representative from Roskachestvo, shared the startling truth that not all plants are friendly neighbors to your soil. The blacklist boasts not only common foes like poppies, but also more exotic bad boys, such as mescaline-bearing cacti, the enigmatic salvia divinorum, coca, and even harmala. Some mushrooms are even more treacherous, like the psilocybin-infested ones, whose humble appearance belie their deadly potential. Growing merely twenty of these toxic mushrooms on your land is already deemed a "large-scale" cultivation, with 200 being considered "extra-large." Talk about a misdemeanor with severe consequences!
The law is unforgiving: cultivating prohibited plants or mushrooms on a large or extra-large scale can result in a crippling fine of up to 300,000 rubles, mandatory labor, and a maximum penalty of eight years in a corrective colony. Ouch!
But there's a silver lining to this gloomy tale. Not all poppies are public enemy number one. Only those listed on a special roster are the enemy. The rest can still be grown, albeit with caution and adherence to the law.
Lawyers have also sprung into action. Anastasia Bilalova warns that gardeners may be fined not just for suspicious growths, but for other derivatives of neglect, such as dirt, trash, offensive smells, soil damage, and unwelcome pests. Yikes!
To avoid finding yourself behind bars with your bounty, make sure to do a thorough background check on your intended garden guests. Your green thumbs should lead you to a beautiful, safe garden—not a legal minefield!
