That sucks, was one of the highlights of my last trips to Europe. Article is pretty funny though.

Misleading title to the thread. From the article: "The city council last month approved a three-day waiting period to cut down on tourist use. The national government is considering an outright ban"

So you can still get them, you just have to wait 72 hours.

I think the three-day waiting period is a good idea. Psychedelics aren't something you should just take impulsively.

I think this policy would cut down on addiction rates if all drugs were legalized. For example, you could order a gram of cocaine and get it three days later, but if you're fiending for more when that's done, you'd be SOL.

"The danger is usually from a blend of alcohol, marijuana and mushrooms that prompts young tourists ``to do things they normally wouldn't, like jumping out of windows,'' Van Dijk said. " <= lol.

you'll prolly have an option to just phone in / email your order and pick it up 3 days later

If this is the case, the restrictions should be on windows, not drugs.

agree.

This is indeed terrible news. They legalized then banned the sale of mushrooms in England aswell last year. - bizarre.

Luckily i live in an area where they grow in abundance.
- and are out now -

I had a good laugh in Holland buying Mushys. the girl on the counter launched into a long lecture about what to expect and what to do if things went wrong when i was buying a handful. lol. My friends and I were used to troffing 200 at a time back home.

After seeing a couple get hospitalized though and one never quite the same again i can see why they might be outlawed.

shame
