mushrooms banned in holland

[ohayoco]

I don't see a problem here. Mushrooms grow easily and if you want some then go hunt for some or grow your own. If you're too lazy to do that then stay out!

Fine. But how were you first exposed to shrooms? Did you pick your own? What about every other entheogen you've tried, did you find them all in the wild? Do you grow your own mimosa hostilis? You'd likely never have the knowledge if you hadn't tried the stuff already thanks to a vendor.

It's wrong to make these things illegal, that's why people care. Foaf may never have known about these things if he was never offered them... his first joint, shared with a friend who had bought it; his first acid trip, bought from a friend; his first mushrooms, bought in Amsterdam; his first ayawaska analogue experience, bought on the internet with the plants shipped from the Amazon; his first DMT experience, extracted from hostilis root bark he'd bought from an online vendor.

Many people will still have acces to these mushrooms. The ones growing in the wild here in holland, are a lot less potent then the ones they sell in the smartshops. But i know some people growing mushrooms, so i will always be able to get some potent ones.
It's just the whole atmosphere that's created around mushrooms, as if they're a dangerous killer drug like crack or meth, that is just too bad.

(I presume bestiality will still be legal)

They've banned beast porn a while ago...or at least they proposed to do so.

The ban is a real shame and obviously a step into the wrong direction. If you believe in psychedelics and their importance for the health of the earth population, banning shrooms is a mistake. Sure, you can take the risk to order a grow kit or spores. You can always take risks to do what you want. But it'll surely cut the reach of mushrooms which is a bad, bad thing.

i think its evil too! mushrooms never harmed anyone. the problem is that in our society we have no shamans to guide the journey. we only have psychiatrists. try to find one who would willingly guide your mushroom trip.. there might be 1 in a 1000. psychiatrists don't seem to know that they kind of take on the role of a shaman in our society. there should be a more shamanistic approach in studying psychology. or at least there should be some workshops which provide such knowledge.

Its also not fair for all the business's who sold them and now lose there number one good. Businesses whose customers never made any news stories or hurt themselves.
