Re: amseterdam bans shrooms
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.

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 |
