Dutch Ban Sale of Magic Mushrooms

A ban on the sale of hallucinogenic or so-called "magic mushrooms" is coming into force in the Netherlands.

The Dutch government says the fungi, which contains the hallucinogenic ingredient psilocybin, can cause life-threatening behaviour.

Last year, a French girl jumped to her death from a bridge in Amsterdam after allegedly eating such mushrooms. Owners of the shops that sell the fungi argue that their trade should be regulated, not banned.

The Dutch Association of Smart Shops fears the ban will put its members out of business. It says there is not enough evidence to prove that the fungi are a danger to public health.

Mushroom-related incidents, requiring the emergency services, have doubled in the past few years, with most cases involving foreign tourists, mainly from Britain.

Many mix magic mushrooms with alcohol and cannabis.

I thought they already tried to curb the problem by putting a waiting period of 72-hours for your purchase. That seemed reasonable to me, so that tourists didn't just fly in, get fucked up and fly out.

I'm sure the Dutch will be fine. Can they get around the 'sale'? Grow your own, or buy a coffee and get some free shrooms? lol

I was in Holland in summer 06 and 07 and both times we heard news of "tourists" doing fucked up shit while on mushrooms like throwing TV's from their hotel windows and some other gross stuff. Whatever this doesn't affect my decision to go back and visit as long as the greens are still there for my man to smoke

WTF?!?! This is why hotel windows shouldonly open a few inches for air. LOL

I can't imagine trying to lift a TV while while laughing hysterically.

Fungi + VondelPark = happy times.
