Hey there! It's essential to know that growing certain plants or mushrooms in large or excessive amounts on your garden plot could lead to some serious consequences. Igor Pozdnyakov, the Department Head for Protecting Consumer Rights at Roskachestvo, revealed this in an interview with "Lenta.ru."
Some plants and mushrooms that may grow on your garden plot could lead to administrative and even criminal charges.
Here's a rundown of the plants you should avoid: banisteriopsis caapi, harmala, blue lotus, cocaine bush, qat, morning glory, poppies with narcotic substances, sage of the seers, Hawaiian rose, and mimosa hostilis. For the cactus containing mescaline, a large quantity is considered to be the presence of two or more plants on the plot.
It's also forbidden to cultivate any types of mushrooms containing psilocybin or psilocin, a narcotic substance found in over 200 species of mushrooms. The prohibited mushrooms include panzolus, gymnopilus, sidewalk billionaire, psilocybe cubensis, psilocybe semilanceata, pleurocybella porrigens, and pleurotus salicinus.

As for the potential penalties, these can range from fines of up to 300,000 rubles, compulsory labor of up to 480 hours, to imprisonment for up to two years.
