Bugger....
The Dutch government is banning the sale of all magic mushrooms after a series of high-profile incidents involving tourists who had taken them.
The decision will go into effect within several months, said a spokesman for the Dutch Justice Ministry.
A major Dutch producer of the psychedelic mushrooms said he stood to lose millions of euros as a result.
The Netherlands is famed for its liberal drugs policy, with marijuana openly sold in licensed cafes.
Magic mushrooms, more properly known as psilocybe, contain the psychedelic chemicals psilocybin and psilocin.
"We intend to forbid the sale of magic mushrooms," said Justice Ministry spokesman Wim van der Weegen.
"That means shops caught doing so will be closed," he said.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"
The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others!!

Isn't that the guy who made the blonde high school girl in Aruba disappear?

So basically, shrooms will become a street drug and the Netherlands won't make any tax $ on them. Good move.
