Comments on: Dutch Ban Sale Of Hallucinogenic Mushrooms

Netherlands Rolls Back Part Of Permissive Drug Policy

[my2centss]

Ask a police officer how many times they have had to scrape a minivan full of children off of the road of an accident that a stoner was involved in. Ask how many domestic abuse situations that they have been to at a stoners house. Now ask the same about alcohol. The news article only lists 4 incidences with mushrooms. How many could they list with booze?

i wish my ex-husband had maybe had a problem with pot or mushrooms...instead he''s a staggering, ignorant, brain-damaged alcoholic...thanks Anheiser Busch for your wonderful and legal product that has not only destroyed my family but countless others

headlines to come: all reporters now work for
national enquierer which corners the news markets.
pill of knowledge developed by zimbabwean corporation
rocks the world. no one has to read, write or
do anything hard to learn things anymore. schools,
colleges, universities all close down. educational
establishment is suddenly totally unemployed.
with the pill of knowledge, you just take the pill
and suddenly are ''omnisicient'', know everything,
become a total know it all, walking encyclopedia.
lol.

you know after carefully reading your post..I realize that you are either trying to avoid the real issues that INFEST AND POISON SOCIETY and fill it with wishy washy scenarios.
If any addict would buy, then use this drug in the confines of a box AND STAYS IN THAT BOX then its fine..but ALL OF THESE drug users interact with society..which in turn has to suffer because of their addiction. may it be thier families or some stranger who just happens to get killed.

again, you are not fixing the problem..legalizing is just ignoring it because the NEGATIVE effects of drugs will not go away

Make these overprocessed drugs legal; create drug stores where people can safely and legally obtain their intoxicants and turn the profits into help-centers to help people with problems kick their habits. Let''s decriminalize ''growable'' drugs, such as maraijuana and mushrooms. Citations for drug posession/use generate proceeds, useful for creating educational programs to reduce irresponsible use of them; after all, you can grow these yourself anywhere in the world (how does law-enforcment think they can stop that?) Illegalizing bad behavior just expands a police state and does not solve any problems... wake up people. The war on drugs is a money-maker for law-enforcement. Redirect the drug-enforcment resources to work on real crimes like murder, theft, etc.


And all you folks who think you''re so pure... I''ll bet I can find something you''re intoxicated by... perhaps even by the "word of God" which can be even more dangerous than drugs as we have seen in past human history.

[duhrer]

Forget the dangers of the personal use of drugs to individuals. Intoxicants are inelastic in humanity''s market, meaning people want a product, regardless of the cost. Criminalizing use of intoxicants does not prevent use, it merely drives them underground, where the black market prevails. Criminals capitalize on black markets, charging anything they want and actively working in the absence of all ethics or oversight to increase profit margin by any means. Thus, gangs, mobsters cartels and nations afford better equipment, distribution and security for their product than any law enforcement angency can keep up with. Meanwhile, we alienate and criminalize individuals with genuine psychological "problems" increasing our truly "criminal" population.

There is a great fear that people will think differently, that they will wake up one day and see the whole War On Terror as a sham. The only drugs that will be allowed are the media and their chief mind-control additive, alcohol.
