Dutch Protesters Make Bid to Save "Magic Mushrooms"

Sun, Oct 28, 2007 2:14 pm

source: boston.com

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Protesters turned out on Amsterdam's central Dam Square on Saturday, hoping to stop the government from banning magic mushrooms and asking to "save the 'shrooms."

Carrying banners reading "When will they ban bread?" and "Boss of your own brain," more than 100 people, some wearing hats resembling the bright red cap of the popular fly agaric variety, protested to keep hallucinogenic mushrooms legal.

After several incidents involving tourists -- in March, a French teenager jumped to her death from a bridge after taking mushrooms -- the Dutch government plans to ban them.

Arno Adelaars, author of a book on magic mushrooms, said this would only drive users underground and what was needed instead was better information how to use mushrooms right.

"It's only foreigners who have this problem, the Dutch don't because they have good information," he said.

"Amsterdam is like a pilgrimage for youngsters in Europe, they come here to get high in all kinds of ways.

"The typical young tourist that comes here drinks an awful lot of beer, smokes an awful lot of grass, and then takes mushrooms. That's the recipe for disaster."

How the hell can the ban something that is Natural, so what if people use it in the wrong way, or Re-act in the wrong way! All Natural Substances that are classified as "Drugs" should be legal and should have a Gov. Warning Label on the Possible Circumstances. Natural Substances should be legalized until they are Combined with Un-natural substances

SHROOMS

Nov 3 2007, 9:24 pm

shrooms are great, a nice big GODFATHER glass of shroom tea X-Large of course. Liberty caps are my favorite from WASHINGTON State, JOHNS RIVER, Grays Harbor, Aberdeen WA. Plus and Eight ball of cocaine to go with that is perfect recipe for rediculous fun. Line up the Rails, choo choo choo. Space ships have arrived.
Or maybe even seven hits of great acid and going to the Seattle lazeriam to see Floyd the WALL @ midnight. I like those fucking dinosaurs in the water down there at the bite of Seattle. Then drive home and watch the fucking tracers on the freeway and do a couple lines of coke to make things a little more interesting.
Sat in a park with two other friends on acid doing some good blow and seen a space ship. I picked up my half rack of miller high life and said take me lets party fuckers.

Tripping and fireworks are a blast.
The only time that I trip anymore is on the 4th 0f July

Spritual cleansing. Really cleans out the cobwebs!!
I would like to do peyote again, now 30+ years later.
I am certian that I would rellish that experience again, maybe get more from it in a 2nd go arround

shrooms are fun but it's not like you can do 'em everyday. Many moons pass since the Shroom God pissed on my head but I'd do 'em again if I had them. Good for the soul to trip out on "something" every 5-10 years whether you need it or not. I like peyote better as many people do.

Dang..."Smoke Humboldt"...last time I used shrooms was in a town by the name of "honey dew" back a few years ago...july of 1981...and I agree with ya...shrooms aren't for everyone...and I haven't used since then...

Oct 29 2007, 11:23 am

Dang...wasn't gonna say anything, but "smoke humboldt" reminded me of the last time I did shrooms, which, by the way, was in "humboldt" county...honey dew...as a matter of fact...but was years ago...well...july 4th, 1981...was the last time I used though...and I had an "out of body" experience down in puerto rico also...but that's another story for another time...

to Senile :
Not all magic mushrooms are poisonous . SOME mushrooms , that are poisonous , contain
the hallucinagenic substance, but they all aren't poisonous . To much water will kill a person too .....

Small doses of fuckin rat poison does the same thing ... anybody party with d-con ? The high you clowns think you're having is the your bodies reacting to the poison . Why not sniff paint cans ?

Mushrooms definately aren't for everyone. But as far as taste goes make them into chocolates or eat them with a banana...and how many psychedelic drugs do you know of that don't cause some sort of bodily unease? You are wrong that your not "cool". I am another yourself. Namaste.

Albert Einstein
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.

I agree with boomers, if you have an ego or dont like things about yourself your not gonna like mushrooms.

Smoke Humboldt

Oct 28 2007, 6:05 pm

I've eaten mushrooms probably about 10 times...my last trip I ate 3.5 grams (more than ever before) and was trippin so hard i ate another 7 grams!!!!! I know it was stupid, 10.5 grams in a couple hours. Thank God for all the food in my stomach before this. I've eaten a lot of lsd and smoked dmt before this luckily so I was slightly prepared. I will just say it was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had, not so fun for my friend i was camping with, listening to me rant on about how we must love each other and shit. Then I thought I died (which I was perfectly fine with and excited about), out of body experience, talking with spirit guides, experiencing past lifes and other worlds, discovering the fate in humanity is due to a lack of love for one another (that is pretty obvious not on drugs though), learned about gov. interaction with aliens and experiments with time travel. I thought the meteor showers were ascending planets and ours was next! Hahaha what a great time it was a very informative experience to say the least. But by far the craziest thing about the whole trip was that it all happened in a dream(except i thought i was on acid in the dream) about a month before the physical experience took place. It was verified to because I explained my dream to my friend right when I woke up. Pretty INSANE and unexplainable to be able to call him a month later and tell him it actually happened! Of course they want to make shrooms illegal, they are oppresing our connection with our souls and God. So even if mushrooms become illegal like in the states, they fuckin grow out of the ground they'll never dissapear! Fuck politricks. Go to the light!

They aren't for everyone.
If you have no problems living with yourself, chances are you will have a great time on 'shrooms.
