"A Kingston teen is headed to prison after pleading guilty to doctoring up store-bought shiitake mushrooms with blue food coloring and trying to sell them as a drug for $900... The teenager was sentenced to one to three years in state prison Friday for his role in the fake hallucinogenic mushroom scheme that crumbled when he sold them in an undercover police sting and was caught with the food coloring on his fingertips."

Meth dealers are the worst. it kills me - do you really need to cut and short weight your product when its already being sold at a huge markup?

I don't think his sentence is much worse than a fraud sentence

Dulac said Palmisano was found with $350 of the serialized money, but was "adamant that he had earned the money, and that he had nothing but rent money.
McCarthy was carrying the remaining $350, according to Dulac.
A search of the vehicle turned up a Walmart bag containing more shiitake mushrooms and food coloring. Dulac said Cockerline and McCarthy both had blue food coloring on their fingers when police stopped the vehicle. Where is the other $100? http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/419/index.html http://mediafilter.autono.net/mff/prison.html http://www.alternet.org/story/17392/ http://social.jrank.org/pages/1347/P...nt-Profit.html http://www.campusprogress.org/tools/...ses-its-appeal
