I guarantee a ban on mushrooms in the Netherlands won't have much effect on people who still have a desire to use them.

Good, these people are usually the ones with more experience/education on the matter. I think they will be more likely to use responsibly.

You know, you may be right about that. Banning them takes mushrooms out of mainstream consumption and it's clear that most everyday, mainstream people lack intelligence. I know I did a ton of magic mushroom research before I ventured to use them myself. The law didn't even enter my mind.

I disagree on principle with the ban, but it might have the unintended result of pushing mushrooms only into the hands of people who will use them responsibly, instead of just gobbling them down without thinking twice and with no information. What pisses me off is that now that they are an item of the underworld...well, there's a whole bunch of crap that comes attached to that aspect of reality.
