Whats the deal, thanks.

I was there like 2 years ago and there were still smart-shops everywhere. Dunno if it's changed since then but I highly doubt it- it's amsterdam. And even if it is it's not like you can't get anything in the world you want there anyways.
2 must do's tho:
1) Don't be scurred, eat a box of the hawaiians. 2) After doing so go trip balls in one of their public parks. They're the most amazing nature scenes... so perfect.

Hi, I'm from Holland so I think I can help you.
fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms are illegal. But because of a loophole in the law they didn't ban sclerotia because they've only banned mushrooms and sclerotia aren't mushrooms eventhough they do contain psilocybin. So you can get sclerotia in smartshops which would give you the same effect as mushrooms.
Secondly I have to go against the advice to 'trip balls' in public places. Fresh mushrooms were banned by the government last year after a couple of incidents with tourists 'tripping balls' and jumping from windows because they had mushrooms, mdma, weed and alcohol and too much of it. 91% of all incidents with mushrooms in Holland were because of tourists who couldnt keep their shit together... so PLEASE use them responsible. Mushrooms got banned because of tourists, wouldn't like to see that happen to sclerotia as well. If you insist on taking them just use them in your hotelroom in normal dosages, get some trip toys and enjoy yourself there.

I still got laughed at by locals, because I would roll big fat joints and blow through weed, instead of rolling spliffs. But hey what do you expect, coming from a draconian society to the Netherlands!!

GO TO Amsterdamse Bos! It's a huuuge park at the south of the city, and it's very easy to get to with public transportation.
I trippped there many years ago, it was sweet. It's got fields, forests with sweet trails, benches, steams/ponds, etc. All the sweet nature shit you'd enjoy on a trip
And esp. during the week, there's not many people there so nobody will even see you, and they certainly won't bother you.
Have fun!

Ya I didn't mean act a fool in public and ruin it for everyone else. Just meant go lay down in some comfy grass surrounded by the gifts of nature and just let go. Difference between rolling around on the ground smoking a cigarette and jumping out your hotel window imo. But I definately see where you are coming from, I bet you guys hate tourists coming and abusing your awesome system of policy towards these substances by not respecting them.
