recently, more and more magic mushroom related articles have been appearing in newspapers. A while ago, as some of you may have heard, a young french girl jumped off a bridge after supposedly having taken mushrooms. This was the start of the war. Her parents threatened to sue the dutch government for not having made shrooms illegal to purchase, and claimed her daughter wasn't suicidal, which later it turned out, she was. All this while 17 years old, and for some extremely odd reason all alone, in amsterdam. The government reacted immediately by promising further investigation and a number of politicians are now furiously attempting to ban shrooms from the shops. Only a week or so ago a new article appeared stating 'MAN SLAUGHTERS DOG WHILE UNDER INFLUENCE OF MAGIC MUSHROOMS'. As it turned out, this man had suffered from psychosis and made this story up, according to several psychiatrists who examined him afterwards. Naturally, the damage couldnt be repaired even by clearing this up on the news the next day, as most people remember only the gruesome things which makes them paranoid, dellusional hypocrites. To back these cases up, another story was revealed about a swiss man jumping out of a window after supposedly having taken magic mushrooms. The problem with all this is this: -most shroom related incidents occur among tourists, who drink themselves shitless, smoke large amounts of cannabis, are unfamiliar with amsterdam, unfamiliar with shrooms, neglect to listen to advice from smartshop keepers who can obviously tell when a customer isn't sober, take larger doses than recommended etc. - investigations HAVE shown that shrooms are in the short and long term safe, do not cause a threat to a person's mental or physical health IF that person is mentally sane to begin with. People who use mushrooms are no danger to others either. - hypocrisy. Thousands of people die from alcohol each year to name just one legal harddrug. tbc |

It frightens and baffles me that in this country, where by the looks of it cannabis isn't going to be banned any time soon, all this chaos arises all of a sudden over a drug which isnt nearly as popular and used/abused. Smartshops could possibly be doing even more to inform their customers, but in the end, it is everyone's own responsibility to know or research what you are getting into. Banning mushrooms would cause more problems than solve them, but it seems like a plan set in motion and an unstoppable plan too. Is it pressure from foreign countries? What is there to gain for our government by banning this substance? Let me know if you have the answer. |

i think you're overhyping the story a bit. long story short: in amsterdam you can get shrooms in just about any souvenir-shop in the city. you can buy these without any knowledge, or information from the seller on how to use them. any moron could buy them. specialized shops are a different story. the outcome of this situation: although politicians know there's a bit of a hype surrounding the situation they'll probably ban the shrooms from non-specialized shops and continue the policy regarding selling them at specialized shops. probably forcing those shops to provide customers with flyers containing info on the do's&don'ts . |

i am only passing on information that has been widely published and talked about. The hype is created by the media, not by me. |

you made this thread about a supposed war on drugs while there isn't any. you're overreacting, IMO. none of both articles point to a war on drugs whatsoever. take a chill-pill. |
||||||||
|

|
|
how do you obtain chill pills, are there shops in germany or the netherlands that sell those legally? how much is a sixpack? any side-effects like poopin all over the place? |
||||||||
|

|

what exactly do you know about this? obviously absolutely fuck all. On a smaller scale, the same thing is going on here, as in the US: spread of false information to instigate fear and aversion of things unknown. I don't suppose you have any idea how easily people are affected by articles like these. Everybody reads the first one, everybody forgets the 2nd. Go ask random people on the street right now what their opinion on magic mushrooms is and i can guarantee you that it won't be a generally positive one. This is wrong, stupid and sickening. |

Rating: - I Love It 7/18/2007 I was taking antidepressants for irritability but the side effects were awful. I tried many alternatives and "chill pill" really does help. When I find myself feeling agitated for no reason I take one and it definatley makes me feel better. Anonymous Miami, FL USA Jeroen, are you sure you don't want to take a chill pill? they really do seem to help. |

can you get oxycotin in Holland? I hate weed. Makes me miserable. Shame they are banning all the good drugs over there. |

i'd rather take some magic mushrooms than a bunch of calcium pills. Thanks though, you shroom hating bastard. |

I think I remember a study a couple of months ago that actually said that shrooms helped with depression. I'll look for it. |

mushrooms, what a great loss to humankind. |

That you abstain from drugs doesn't make them a negative experience for everyone. I personally don't take shrooms anymore, and they have been illegal in my country for years, anyway. I don't mind shrooms being illegal here, but I have no problem with people elsewhere defending their right to consume them. |

yeah i shouldnt go to the of extreme of saying its always a negative thing. But you know, im not as innocent as i look, ive been there and done that, i found it to be fairly pointless, and i think a person is better off without it. |

i tell ya what, the weather has just kept on getting crazier recently. i mean, snow in drought affected areas? and melbourne winters are usually dread, but am still not used to the idea of degrees hovering above zero in the morning...at least not on the regular basis it has been |

far out, you guys are really copping it. we havent had much of a winter over here at all, tonight has been an exception. |

mostly Steve Irwin...it's not as common an expression here as one might think, basically it just means "Golly!" or "Gosh!" or "Jesus!" |
||||||||
|

|

i remember the day steve irwin died. i was at tafe in a class of chef apprentices. one of them told me the news of his accident, and purely out of habit, i said 'Crikey!' a few of my classmates thought that was really funny, but i didnt even mean it to be :) |

apparently this 'being better off without drugs' turns you into a thread hijacking arsehole who prefers to chat about the weather and steve irwin-land. |

Somehow I can't see Holland being at the front line of the War on Drugs. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
following that logic, mushrooms turn you into a bitter, hostile little pedant |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it's not a war, it is just politics the war on drugs means to fighting drugs. in holland there's just a debate about it, like people do in a democracy. the only one militant here is you |

let him fight his personal war! |

"We are losing the war on drugs". Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! God bless Bill |

shrooms are illegal here but anytime i want some, all i have to do is go to the park and look around in the wood chips, or drive out to the country and turn over a ruminant shit pile (when in season, of course). banning them won't stop shrooms from growing nor will it stop people from getting them if they want them. it will just fill the jails up with harmless shroom dealers and put a premium on the price. I agree that it would be constructive to, at least, inform people of what they are getting into before they jump out of a damn window though. But U.S.A. history shows that this war against drugs does not work. |

Are you sure you aren't addicted? 'Cause you're reacting like the smokers did to the smoking ban. |

shrooms are basically the best drug ever all feeling happy about life for 2 weeks after |
