Think my Thai wife would be immune by the amount of stuff she finds on the roads and in bushes on the way to tops in the morning and chucks in a salad for lunch

Thailand has Psilocybe samuiensis to be proud of. One more thing should be legal.

It didn't work in English as I just tried. I think that you need the Thai language for a better chance.

Good luck plod catching me. If I got stopped I'd just eat 'em. You cannot OD, and they can't test for psychedelics, well they can, but way too costly for these goons.  555.

The world's best are Thai Cubensis Cyanosis. 

Not to mention roadside signs for Shroom Shakes all over Koh Lanta!

Only in Thailand, where hookers are illegal too!
