why fuck amsterdam? the city wasn't at fault: this is a political decision that is not based on facts and rational thinking.
i'd rather say fuck the tourists: mostly brits, as one report said. out of about 140 bad trips that ended in the ER only 20 or so were by locals, the lion share of freak outs were by dumb ass tourists.

Shrooms can be dangerous. Is this not news?
If people aren't educated on what can happen if they eat shrooms then things can go very wrong. If the shrooms are easilly available then people will be able to get them without the proper knowledge of 'safe' usage.

God damn it. I was there two days for the sole purpose of buying some. I even talked to the owner of one shop, jokingly saying that 'when the ban comes I'll have to stock up.'
I'm sad. I'm so stocking up.

Well I guess it would be better to say "fuck ignorant tourists" The thing even said the people who hurt themselves did it despite warnings. So why should everyone else get punished? Whats dumb though is that people die/vomit from alcohol but they wouldn't even dare ban that (Well they did but it didn't work too well)
Well I guess the only difference now is that you can't buy em in a store.

One person making a bad decision while tripping ruins it for everyone? People kill themselves all the time, for all sorts of reasons. I fail to see what the big deal is, honestly, but I suppose to people who have in interest in maintaining psychological control of their population outlawing shrooms is a great step in the interest of "protecting society from themselves."
Me...not a fan of that train of thought, obviously. But whatever. I don't care that much because I already live in a country that has walked down that narrow avenue of thought. Still hasn't stopped me from enjoying a plant I consider sacred and I guarantee a ban on mushrooms in the Netherlands won't have much effect on people who still have a desire to use them. Laws crack me up. People who want to believe in the illusion of control even more.

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.

They sell half a million doses a year the saftey record is much better than alcohol or tobacco. The justice minister overstepped 1 in ten thousand being admitted to emergencry rooms isn't reason for a ban. Alsohol and mixing seem partly to blame. The girl was underage and had other problems. Bad decision.

Its a good thing to take it out of the hands of impulse use, but there are lots of ways to do that without banning it. The problem for me is that the onus of responsibility is always upon society, its on everyone else's shoulders, rather then the one person it should be with, which is all of us as individuals.

I don't like being banned from substances but I think it can be a good thing to have those bans. I consider myself fairly responsible but I do, however, know many peole who do not do their due dilligence on substances and who partake in dangerous behavior while on them.
Honestly, I'm glad certain harder drugs aren't legal. It limits people's intake and it generally pushes the use of the drug onto private property where members of the public are less likely to be affected by those substances/the people taking those substances.

If mushrooms are banned, that just means you'll have to buy them from shady underground dealers, instead of the nice friendly shopkeepers. And while you're picking up some shrooms, you can score some heroin!

There's plenty of places to get shrooms rather than from shady dealers. Plenty of non-shady dealers sell shrooms. Is it really that important to do shrooms in Amsterdam anyway? The main attraction is marijuana. I bet a very smaller percentage of folks eat mushrooms when they go to A-dam.

Exactly. And there goes the last little safety net that they had in place. Instead of shopkeepers actually explaining the risks and benefits from mushroom consumption, tourists are now just going to buy them right outside the shops from people that don't give two shits about what the recipients do.
I foresee an increase in Emergency Room admissions due to even more poorly informed drunk stupid tourists than when they were legally sold in a somewhat sane manner.

I just don't understand how people can turn a blind eye to logic and then blame the problems they ignorantly created on the people that they've hurt with such decisions and legislature.

I bet most shroom purchases are impulse related. I bet most people wouldn't even do them if they weren't in open display in smart shops.
That's my logic...

Yeah, perhaps they were a little too blatantly advertised. Still, it would be so much better/safer for everyone to impose some stiffer regulations on the sales and mandatory information before purchasing.
But who needs knowledge when you can just ban it outright and think that the problem is just going to evaporate into fat air.

It would have been smarter to have them behind the counters. You would have to ask the person working there to purchase some, then they should ask them a few questions and check some ID if they look young. They do this with Salvia here, and they give the buyer a small piece of paper with information about it, what to expect, what not to do, general warnings and advises a trip sitter. And they also check ID if they look under 18. Though one local "journalistic" tv program tried doing an expose on Salvia and got someone who looked like he was 25 (but he was 17 - just a tall, largely built Samoan rugby player). They tried claiming that they're selling it to underage kids and that Salvia is absolutely dangerous. I think the general response was overwhelming laughter. A few people got in a hissy about "saving our children", but haven't heard much else since then. Even the hospitals didn't report getting hundreds of "bad" Salvia trips by anyone I recall.
The main reason so many idiots (and the few responsible tourists) flock there is because their own countries have stupid drug laws.

I do think its pretty shitty for something to be made illegal, just because some emo slut kills herself. I am not saying alcohol should be illegal...but how many people die a year from alcohol? That girl probably took mushrooms to get "fucked up" and was sadly mistaken that it was not that kind of drug. In my opinion, she deserves to be dead.

I think the general consensus would say that if you travel to Amsterdam just to get high then you are fucking retarded.
Never mind it being a HUGE cultural center and amazing city. If I can't get my weed without tobacco then it's trash.
But you are right. Any douche bag can sit there on their ass and waste their live smoking weed in their parents shitty ass basement. Fuck Amsterdam, who the hell needs it.

Whatever... gives a shit? How many of you guys live in the USA? Does it really make a difference? In a place like Amsterdam (or Holland for that matter) do you really think it will be any harder than perhaps mildly more difficult to get them now, as opposed to before, when they were legal?
Or say you're just pissed 'about the principle'. That shouldn't really come as much of a surprise either.

What scared ME is the fact that they mentioned spores' legality. I think if you asked someone on the street if you could by spores for illegal mushrooms, they would say no. I like it like that, and this kinda just shined a big light on that.

No matter how you look at it, "banning" a substance isn't going to do anyone, any good. It just puts it on the black market, where far more things are likely to go wrong. Drug laws just serve to turn innocent and harmless people into criminals, and make it so drugs can't be regulated whatsoever. Far more benefit would come from keeping the drugs legal, and EDUCATING people about them, so that people can make smart decisions about what they put in their body, and that so like.. you know.. drugs could be good quality and not some shit like woah man this is awesome MDMA, and then you drop dead from a PMA overdose or find PCP in your weed.
Prohibition of alcohol didn't work. That much is goddamn obvious. What the fuck makes them think prohibition of Marijuana, Mushrooms, Ectstacy, etc.. is going to be any different? Newflash: IT'S NOT. The only difference is we don't have a bunch of weed gangsters with gatling guns running around trafficking and blasting away cops in the name of marijuana prohibition. (Which probably isn't a bad idea) And for the record, I am all for legalizing ALL illegal drugs, including the 'hard' drugs like heroin, crack, etc. They just need to be highly regulated so that those who DO use them, use them as responsibly as possible.. and get good quality shit. People should have a right to choose, banning substances isn't going to do shit. If you're going to ban Heroin and Crack you might as well ban Oxycontin, Tylenol, Alcohol, Tobacco, Aspartame, Zoloft, Christianity, Automobiles, McDonalds and a whole fucking list of things while you're at it - they kill a lot more people each year than Crack and Heroin, or even goddamn shrooms for that matter which aren't even in the same fucking category.
FAR more people die each year from LEGAL pharmaceuticals than die from all illicit drugs combined. That is cold hard fact. Take those illicit drugs off the black market and you would more than likely have far less deaths from them occur. But all they care about is control, control, control. Keep the natural happy drugs illegal and pump the world full of deadly legal pharmaceuticals. They didn't push this ban to help anyone or make anyone's quality of life better.. they did it to push their own agenda, which is halfway up the US' ignorant ass. Why the fuck aren't they banning the pharmaceuticals that are killing thousands of people each year? I'll tell you.. because they are making shitloads of money off it. Say NO to drugs.. say YES to our drugs.
It's all a bunch of fucking bullshit. Down with the self-righteous motherfuckers trying to rule to world and not giving two fucks about whose innate human rights they piss all over or who they genocide. FUCK THEM ALL.
And this is NOT the end of my rant because I will never be satisfied until we have our human fucking rights back in FULL. Fuck this compromising rights for "freedom" or public safety, that's also a load of fucking bullshit. FIGHT THE POWER AND DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS.
The government is controlled by the people, not the other way around. So many seem to have forgotten.... I for one will not stand for it. I will rise against these motherfuckers and if they kill me so be it, someone else will take my place. You can kill the messenger but you can't silence the message.

Well said.
But when you're ruled by a coalition of extremist christians,moderate christians and sell-out socialists, like we are in the Netherlands, a puritan backlash was to be expected.
My first mushroom trip happened near the beginning of this decade of freedom when mushrooms first came to the attention of the authorithies. It wasn't at all certain how long 'shrooms would stay legal, and I figured that I'd better try them while I still had the chance to obtain them easily by simply walking into a store.
In the meantime, the smart shops slowly turned into even more blatant tourist traps than they were in the beginning, and if some of them go under I won't be sorry to see them go. I shudder to think about the crap they will start pushing to make up for loss of their main product.
I'm glad that I have found the knowledge to be self-sufficient in this matter, mostly thanks to you guys.
However I'm still royally pissed off about this attack on cognitive freedom. Kids in the near future won't be so lucky.
I've ordered a couple of shirts from the shroomery store yesterday, mostly as an act of childish and pointless defiance, but also because I realised once again the importance of this place.
Knowledge really does mean freedom.

i'm totally for complete legalization of all drugs. Anything less is a kind of censorship. But while it's a shame to see anything made unnecessarily illegal, I'm not that sad to see mushroom go back underground.
2002-2005 when they where on sale in shops in the UK, it never felt right to me and I never bought any. They were overpriced - around £15 ($30), I think, for 35g fresh compared to £2-3 ($4-6) for a hit of acid. And I didn't like how they were packaged in plastic boxes in fridges like something from a supermarket. Too commercial.

While I didn't mind the packaging the mushrooms like groceries, the point after all was their legality, I do think that the law did contribute to irresponsible behavior.
By only allowing fresh mushrooms, they have to be consumed shortly after buying. When common sense says you should wait, but you feel it's a shame to let the things go to waste, sometimes common sense loses.
But then, allowing dried mushrooms would lead to large scale smuggling and even more international outcries.
And as everybody knows, before a Dutch politician takes office, they have their spine and their balls surgically removed. Sometimes the surgery goes wrong and they lose their brain too.

Really? I've never been there but can't you buy some nice nugs of skunk or purp without any tobacco in it?

All weed comes without tobacco, I think he's talking about those pre-rolled joints you can buy.
So, don't buy those.

I'm just worried now about the spores. Think of the spores! Many of the Shroomery's spores comes from the Netherlands, don't they?
What pisses me off about this the most is that the goverment just made millions of mushroom enthusiasts in that country criminals overnight. Fucking assholes.

I've always thought the "all our spores come straight from Amsterdam" was a creative embellishment to avoid embarrasing questions about the origin of the spores.

So, don't buy those.
Go to a shop, buy purple nugs and suck 'em down in a pipe. Not much to complain about.

Can you back that up with anything? It's well known that in America we have far more deaths from irresponsible illicit drug use than Europe, because most of our money in the "War on Drugs" goes to prisons and police instead of counseling and education. In Europe the story is much different, where drugs are (generally) more tolerated or at least understood. Where for example, you can get clean needles from a clinic or vending machine, and treatment is readily available. Europeans in general are more educated about drugs than Americans and the statistics show they have far less incidents of ODs etc.

A round of applause for D.A.R.E. everyone! 
the problem is that its way easier to outright ban something than educate people who have been pumped full of propaganda. That and the govt. would look pretty stupid if they said "we're legalizing it cuz all that stuff we told you about nontoxic drugs killing you and making you insane, well that was a lie."
