Amanita to be included in the Dutch mushroom ban

[Caduceus Mercurius]

The current Dutch Minister of Health, Welbeing and Sports has published his proposal for a ban on all consciousness-altering mushrooms, including the Amanita muscaria, or the Fly Agaric. His reasoning for including this mushroom is that after the ban on Psilocybe cubensis goes in effect, people might try Amanita as an alternative, which is dangerous because "Amanita muscaria is poisonous."

Rrrright... And so what are you going to ban next? And next? And next?

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :?: :?: :?: :?: :evil: :evil:

This is pure madness

 

[inkosurf]

:shock: What the hell are they trying to do?? I like old traditional conservationist people, because they care about young people... but in the wrong way... this is not good

 

[TheSearchForSoma]

Tragic ,the song which we all learn when we are todlers "op een rode paddestoel ,rood met witte stippen ,zat kabouter pinnemuts heen een weer te wippen..." Is now about an illegal drug.
Maybe this helps to show people it's ridiculous...

 

[sopor]

when i saw the topic, i was like WTF???

ban amanita? are the gonna destroy all the amanitas in the woods?

madness.

 

[Guest]

cannabis is next!

 

[Guest]

cannabis is next!

Believe me, we know

 

[emix]

daag vrij nederland, leve de conservatieven. :x kutzooi

 

[Pariah]

Sorry for stating the obvious, but:

That's seriously messed up!

Banning amantia is taking things further than too far: I can buy dried amantia in my local smartshop, and I'm in britain, a country that I would have assumed is quite restrictive...

Sorry to say it but that government of yours needs getting rid of, when's your next election? any chance that the rest of your country feels the same way?

 

[JustinNed]

I agree, this is unbeliavable! Like said above, I can even get Fly Argic, and I live in the land of the DEA. This man needs to be assassinated for spreading his ignorance and lies!

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Suddenly the Pharmacratic Inquisition, which talks about the Amanita muscaria in relation to Christianity a lot, becomes even more relevant.

[ararat]

what - the - hell.

how can you actually make something illegal that grows in almost every fucking forest?

..

 

[Guest]

the problem here is not to illegalize natural plants. take cannabis, for example: illegal in almost every country in the world, and, at the same time, it is available as always, specially in summer festivals and so on.
it's all about closing the circle on the witch hunt!
it's another reason they have to hunt YOU down.

perhaps one day they will illegalize meditation.
have you seen the big piles of wood at your door ? they are going to burn all books we spoke of in the other book-thread.

One day, Truth and Reason will have their place among our species.

There is much information. But 'people', only ear what TV's, Newspapers and the Loonies that rule our countrys tells them. And they swallow it without questionning.

When people find Truth and Reason, things will be different. The question is: When?

I just hope we don't need violence (once again) to regain our rights as Human Beings.

Love

I love christians and minister Klink and I really feel sorry that he doesn't understand.

 

[Rymmen]

I love christians ...

Anyway, sucks to be part of the human race. I have no hope in the direction we are headed.

But I really do... There is no point not loving them.

People should just ignore the ban and continue what they are doing. Grow mushrooms, share with friends, organize journey circles in your homes. We do this as well and we refuse to put any more energy in the ignorance of people that are blatantly misguided.

If they want to arrest us, come get us, we won't fight, scream, we just go lovingly. And then let a judge decide, in the light of truth, experience and scientific argument, that there is no reason AT ALL, to punish us.

And if not, hey, free room and food for a couple of years

You seem to have come to a new insight. And I totally agree.
