Dutch Protesters Make Bid to Save "Magic Mushrooms"
Sun, Oct 28, 2007 2:14 pm
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."

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.

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 .....

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.

If you have no problems living with yourself, chances are you will have a great time on 'shrooms.
