Ummm…Aren’t you the Netherlands?
Yahoo! On the Dutch Masters banning shrooms.
Those of us who read pro-legalization material on anything approaching a regular basis you are familiar to seeing alcohol related double standards that would make you want to smash your monitor if you had not been smoking weed (note that I was drunk when “Arrested Development” went off the air and I was swinging around a sickle…there is still a chunk of my friend’s jaclet missing). Still here is one that should have all objects in the room with their gaurd up.
First the stories that pushed people into hysterics evidently regarded primarily a 17 year old with documented past psychological problems leaping to her death while shrooming. Another story which got a lot of play in the Dutch media was a British tourist who ran “amok (amok!)” in a hotel and went so far as to break a window, and cut his hand “badly.”……MY GOD! Are we sure this terroroid was not some kind of cyborg sent back to kill humanities savior! Now here comes the best part…
She said each case also involved the use of alcohol — against the advice of sellers — but it was the mushrooms that were blamed.
Can anyone else confirm this? Jesus Christ someone gets drunk, shrooms, wrecks stuff and now people in the Netherlands of all places can’t sell mushrooms. On the other hand maybe there’s some kind of upside to all of this…
Prices will rise, and dealers will sell dried mushrooms, or LSD as a substitute, to tourists with no guidance.
I have to go book a fl-I mean…Book It. Pizza Hut.

Ah Book It…that was a great program. I wonder if that is still around? I remember reading for the sole purpose of getting free pizza. One year I saved up my coupons and went into Pizza Hut and basically cleaned them out, I came out with something like 8 personal pizzas!
As far as the Netherlands go, every few years their laws regarding psylocybin change depending on who’s in power. It’s kinda funny like that, one day business is going well and legal and the next interpol storms in raiding the shop because they just ruled prohibition and you didn’t read the paper!
