The bipartisan legislation, Senate Bill 219, passed on a 33-4 vote after a lengthy debate that featured emotional testimony about the benefit of psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, for military veterans.

Prosecutors say a 9- and 11-year-old helped the defendants cultivate, produce and sell the fungi, also known as magic mushrooms, allegedly harvested at a pair of locations, in Fallbrook and Bonsall.

It was a delivery business with a twist. A driver nabbed for speeding was not transporting pizza or wings but magic mushrooms and cannabis.
