Save the Shrooms!
    #7527938 - 10/17/07 02:07 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

In a giant leap backwards, the Dutch ministers of Health and Justice of Holland seek to ban the Magic Mushroom, which up until now has a legal status in Holland.

Many people protest this decision, which has not yet gone into effect.

One of the organizations that protests the ban is www.reddepaddo.nl (Red De Paddo = Save The Shroom) and one of their actions is a petition.

They asked us to help them, so let's all sign the petition to protest illegalization of the Shroom in Holland.

Your protest will be sent to the Tweede Kamer, the governing body of the nation. The example text reads:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Governor,

I was astonished to learn that plans are being made to illegalize shrooms. It is incomprehensible to me that these plans are being made before the RIVM report has been made. At this point in time it seems to have been based on sensational news in the media and the policies of other EU nations.

For a number of reasons we consider a ban on mushrooms in Holland to be entirely inappropriate. We hereby request you to hear our reasons and reconsider your decision.

Why would a prohibition of hallucinogenic mushrooms be so wrong?

People have the right to decide how they choose regarding their body and mind.

Mushrooms are not addictive, as demonstrated by the risk assessment reports by the Coordinationpoint Assessment and Monitoring of new drugs (CAM), which is part of the RIVM.

Nobody has ever died because of an overdose of mushrooms.

Mushrooms are literally mind-expanding, to take peoples freedom to expand their mind is not appropriate in a democratic country.

Mushrooms are a natural product that grows across Europe, users could go looking for mushrooms in the forest with the risk of picking the wrong, poisonous kinds (this has been alleged to lead to fatalities in France).

Mushrooms generally provide a personal, mystical, insightful and spiritual experience. Research by the American institution MAPS dating from 2006 has demonstrated this.

With the right information and user advice the risk for a "bad trip" is minimal.

Through several simple measures the sale of mushrooms can be regulated through around 180 smartshops of good reputation.

Mushrooms after the ban will be sold on the street, without advice or user directions. The number of accidents will increase.

Except among young tourists the use of mushrooms has caused no problems whatsoever. Irresponsible use by tourists can be prevented through the by Job Cohen proposed Three Days Plan.

The same dealers will besides mushrooms offer cocaine, XTC and other synthetic drugs.

Illegal substances are very attractive to youths.

Raids on drug producers are costing the government a lot of money without decreasing use or production.

Mushrooms are easily grown at home from spores, making it harder to ban them. Let the government invest their money and efforts into more important matters.

With kind regards,


----------------------------------------------------------------


Please take part in this action to Save The Shroom and sign the petition. All you are asked for is your name (naam), city of residence (woonplaats) and an email address.

If you want to do more, you can inform your pro-mushroom friends, let it be known on other mushroom related forums and so on.

Let's help the Dutch shroomers fight this ban!

If I sign it and put down Syracuse or Columbus as my city is it just going to be disregarded because I'm not Dutch?

Wow, you mean really, really stupid people such as drug users? My point being control by one group over another is never a good thing. Personal responsibility. Instead of outlawing mushrooms, they should be thanking mushrooms for helping Darwin along and getting rid of some unfit breeders.

Under NO circumstances should you attempt to falsify who you are or where you are from on the petition!!! The petition will NO DOUBT be scrutinized (by opponents who will look carefully at it) and all the efforts of those who legitimately have an interest and got on board to support the petition will be tainted by those actions! TRUST ME!!! I have been very involved politically and it will be hurtful NOT helpful!

Although it may carry less weight to be an American who supports the continued legal status of mushrooms, the BEST way to support our like-minded bretheren is to remind the government there in Holland that they will lose valuable tourism income from LOTS and LOTS of Americans! Politicians are VERY sensitive to harming their constituents economy! THAT (as an American) is the best way to bring pressure from so remote a locale. Trust me, they'll get the message.

Regards,
N.B.
