Magic mushrooms banned from December
Friday 07 November 2008
The ban on the sale of fresh hallucinogenic mushrooms in Holland is set to come in on December 1, the AD newspaper reports on Friday.
The paper says ministers are expected to vote in favour of the plan at todays cabinet meeting.
The sale of dry mushrooms in so-called smart shops is already banned.
Health minister Ab Klink said last year he planned to ban mushroom sales following a string of incidents involving tourists.
According to Amsterdam health service figures, ambulances were called out 128 times last year to deal with people who had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms.
that really sucks. im sure there will still be many ways to get shrooms in the dam... hell you can get anything in the dam. plus im sure someone will start up some delivery service or something or make it easy enough for people to get quality shrooms.
there really is nothing like those hawaiian mushrooms available in most smart shops. i have tried them about 5 times and they are just fantastic. i cant get anything like them at home. i sure hope i get to try out the hawaiians on my next visit, which by the sounds of this article they will be banned by then. _________________ Just Giv'r

I haven't enjoyed 'shrooms for years and keep saying that everytime I go Amsterdam I'm going to. Then I find the most amazing weeds and could care less about the mushrooms. Maybe next time I keep saying, now maybe not...

2 December 2008
AMSTERDAM - Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen says he will not enforce a ban on magic mushrooms until he receives clear guidelines from Interior Minister Guusje ter Horst.
The cultivation and sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms is illegal beginning 1 December, and violations are punishable by a prison sentence of up to four years.
A large number of customers purchased magic mushrooms during the last weekend in November, when they could still be sold legally.
