A national ban on the sale of fresh hallucinogenic magic mushrooms will take effect in the Netherlands on December 1, 2008. In dried form those mushrooms already were banned under Dutch Opiate Laws.
The ban was first proposed in October 2007, after as series of high-profile deaths and injuries linked to magic mushroom trips.
Smart shop owners say they are flabbergasted. According to them a better system of checks and balances would have taken care of the problem. In fact, when the ban was first proposed Amsterdam mayor Job Cohen called for a three day wait period in which customers would order and pay for their mushrooms in advance, at which time they would receive information outlining the proper use and effects of the plant before being able to pick up the purchase later.
