Coaster said: the UK banned shrooms in 2005 now this Japan even more recently banned shrooms its a fucking domino effect
wrong. Mushrooms were banned in Japan in 2002 - 3 years before the UK.
These things go in cycles. Mushrooms only went on sale in shops in the UK from 2002, not available before then. Banned 3 years later. In Holland they only went on sale in shops around 1992. Banned 15 years later.
Another example is cannabis, reclassified from class B to C a few years ago in the UK. Now looks like it may well go back to class B.
It *is* inconsistent for mushrooms to be sold in shops while LSD is a class A drug. When the loophole drug gets too popular the government iron out the inconsistency by banning it. Had to happen sooner or later.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case...
The double standard presented by alcohol and tobacco is unforgivable, though.

Now resist the urge to freak out, although the link is to Fox News the story comes from the Associated Press.
Possession of small amounts of any drug is legal in Holland luckily. Even with shrooms banned we probably still have the least repressive drug laws.

Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men." -Albert Einstein

Then these residents and citizens would most likely sell to the tourists. Either way Im sure mushrooms will still be available in Amsterdam even if not of legal means.

yes, true, but if they are doing that then it would at least make the shroom/herb shop not liable for the tourists' actions.
