The mum of a student who died after taking magic mushrooms wants changes to the law to ban them from being produced.
The mushrooms are illegal to buy but the spores needed to grow them can be readily purchased across the UK, reports the Daily Mirror.
Antoine Vesterinen-Maury was studying at Edinburgh Music College when he died in 2016 after drinking mushroom tea with a friend and was found dead in Duddingston Loch five weeks later. His mum Laura is disgusted that no action can be taken against firms who supply the microscopic cells because until they are cultivated they do not contain any banned substance.
