I don't think it's a good idea, I think it will attract the 'wrong' kind of people: tourists who get there to legally get fucked up. Besides it would sound like a themepark or something and imagine people taking something because 'they sell it here what harm can it do?' and freaking out...
I also think you'll make psychedelics look bad eventually, because of publicity and people freaking out, and we don't want mushrooms get banned in the Netherlands right?!

also I don't think you can pull it off legally, even in The Netherlands

very good points hendostan. when you would do it like this it would sound a lot better to me; you will attract the people who really want to experiance and repel those who want to get fucked up

that would be the exact intention most people who would take the time to contribute themselves like that are probably also more likely to take the time to get edumacated on psycadelics, if they aren't already. you can't sell hits of salvia like alcohol or weed, people need to know their shit if it's going to be that accessible.

With such a small crowd like that, instead of having them pay, you can have everyone contribute while they are there.  Cooking, cleaning, trip sitter for salvia users, preparing mushroom tea, art and music contributions, things like that..it can be like a community, only one that constantly changes.  There would have to be some cost involved, but paying for the drugs, like alcoholic drinks, should cover that.  This will also ensure that the wrong kind of people don't come...In my experience, when there is work involved, the people you don't want around will be the ones running away the fastest.  Everyone has to contribute to the community in some way, and in return they have everything taken care of for their drug consumption, as well as a bed for the duration of their stay.  It might be a hard balance to strike, but I like your idea

Funny, sounds just like a Shroomery Gathering to me!

Also they might cause some people to change their outlook on work itself. Who knows?

I like this idea a lot. You could have strobes, black lights, fog machines, meditation sessions in nature, etc.. There's a lot of possibilities here.

Yes, its very exciting isn't it? I'm thrilled that people are lovin it. I really want to get into the teaching aspect of the mushroom. I want to teach people to respect the mushroom and how to use it properly. I'm thinking of holding grow seminars as well, for those interested. I have enough years of cultivation under my belt to be considered a pro, it will be fun. my main goal is to educate, and bond with people from around the world who share the same int rests and nature values as I do. My fiance and I will live at the hotel and care/guide our guests on activities and spiritual journeys. I want a family like environment where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves. I think this can be achieved in small groups, very easily. I think it will be years of fun for my fiance and I....

Thats how i got here. I met mushroom distributor in the NL, and I was dying to be free of the grips of the American eagle. I wanted to not be a criminal for doing the things i love most. Which is growing and consuming mushrooms and weed. He invited me to stay here and give me a job. No strings attached. Basicly to free us from our own twisted nation. I had to come here or I would of surely ended up in jail with so many others.
If you are seriously interested in working, email me, or shoot me a pm...
