I am sure Amsterdam rocked but if the museum was as happy about it, probably not.

As a result of foreigners tripping their minds out in our capital, our government decided a few years back to prohibit mushrooms, so they are now no longer legal to be sold in smart shops. The result is that the growing industry has dissipated, smart shops lost a chunk of their income and hundreds of thousands of people who could easily get what they needed cannot anymore.

Often my country gets praise from abroad for its liberal values and drug policy and  easy access to drugs. But then foreigners come end end up on some drug binge rampage tour and get rushed to the hospital. That 'tour' gets registered and becomes a figure, a statistic which then forms the basis for politicians to intervene.

Thus we have become a victim of our own success in dealing with drugs in society.

I guess I will repeat McKenna here, who said that Mozart is good on its own without being loaded. I don't think that is what shrooms are for, especially since art is an approximation, an alternate vision on nature and reality as a whole. It seems therefore weird to trip on Van Gogh, who has his own unique perspective on reality. Leave that as it is for its own sake. The painting is a trip onto itself.

It is very sad that foreigners cannot behave themselves here and destroy our freedoms with their conduct.
